S.O.S. – Lacking Motivation

May 19, 2022 / baitlessbiter / 4 Comments

I started taking my twice daily medications earlier (at six a.m./p.m. versus seven a.m./p.m.) hoping that it would make me tired earlier, and curb the binge-eating as a result. It does make me tired earlier, but did not curb the binge-eating... I just binge-eat earlier. I take Mirtazapine to induce sleep and combat night terrors … Continue reading S.O.S. – Lacking Motivation

I Stopped Drinking, and Started Eating

April 9, 2022May 1, 2022 / baitlessbiter / 6 Comments

Lately, I've felt like a bit of a fraud at twelve-step meetings for Alcoholics Anonymous. Not because I have betrayed my sobriety from alcohol and drugs, but because when I gave those things up I started binge-eating at night... and haven't been able to stop. In the depths of my nightmarish addictions, I was an … Continue reading I Stopped Drinking, and Started Eating
