Yes, but you aren't starving. If you've eaten... well it's three days for me, but it varies... If you've fed on humans recently and aren't on the brink of starvation, you're able to have a chance at controlling yourself against the fog form.
[The conduit zones were a special case though. Even Tsukikage hadn't been able to resist that. And it's only a chance. Not everyone could control it. Most could... but...]
It's about directing your thoughts. Mindfulness. When instincts from the fog kick in, you need to be able to recognise and grab the thought. You recognise that it is an instinct and what you want to do, and channel it into something else. I use my hunger in that form for fighting. That aggression, that anger, that thirst to survive and just stuff myself senseless are all horrifying... but I do my best to use it to fight other monsters that have gone crazy in their fog form. Being able to protect people keeps me clear-headed. The ways to cope will vary from person to person.
The best counter of monster instincts is to be human. Compromise with those instincts. Rationalise thoughts. It helps.
