Karen I am by no means a medical professional and I would advise you seek advice. However, observationally I have noticed from the posts of many others that those with depression/anxiety disorders definitely seem to struggle and have more craves than those who don't. Whether this is due to the effects nicotine had on dopamine levels which are already disrupted by the mental health disorder, I am in no position to say but it is definitely interesting. I cannot advise you on the best way to quit, particularly as I haven't experienced bipolar firsthand but I can offer you encouragement. There are lots of people in these forums that have quit even though they have depressive disorders and I believe that you can do it too. You may have it harder than some but I believe that using the support here, you can quit too. Make a promise to utilise the SOS thread. Ask for help BEFORE you consider smoking and I think the people here may just talk you down again. As for coping with the day to day, keep taking small steps forward. It will get better and you can do this.

Hi Karen... How is day two? Don't forget it gets better real quick. You can do this.

Hey Carlos. How is it going? Did you get straight back on the train? We haven't heard from you. Check in and update us....

I didn't know this. I don't think it's the same in the UK yet. I'm really surprised though because in my experience, the baddies almost always smoke. I guess the prisons supply stacks of NRT products?
