Is there anything that you can do that will keep your hands or mind busy? Do you knit, crochet, cross stitch, embroider, quilt, paint, or want to learn any of them? TV makes me eat, often just reading makes me want to eat. When I am handling things that I don't want to get dirty I can turn away the food. I don't know if it would work for you, just a thought. Sometimes I just clean the bathrooms. It is not a noisy job so it won't wake people and it keeps me busy for a while and makes me tired. With your pain, I don't know if you could choose that or not. My husband has started taking CBD gummies. He says they help his pain after a month or so and they quiet his mind. I can't try them with some of the meds I am on so I don't know. Have you tried TENS or other magnetic or electric impulse things for the pain?
This is a tough thing to work through and it will take thinking out of the box. All the usual is not going to work on it. I know that you will be able to beat it eventually.
