Hi,
I am currently suffering from anxiety and depression and i think i should just quit smoking because it is taking a toll on my health.
i know this means more anxiety and more depression but i hope it will get better after three days. I have no option left. it is taking a toll on me.
I am 32 and been smoking for the past 15 years. im upto a pack a day right now. failed numerous quit attempts.
I dont have much to keep myself busy with and i live in the toughest environment possible.
Also i have become insecure about myself which messes with my mind when i quit smoking.that is like the biggest hurdle in my quit smoking process.
I am financially secure and well educated and extremely sharp . Its just that i am still insecure.Dont know why. i get into retrospective thinking a lot.I have a rare form of cystic acne which scars easily which messes me up too and plus i am greying prematurely. You might be thinking what a dumb thing to say.i think i have BDD.gotta ditch the mirrors, so you can imagine how hard this quit is gonna be. wish me luck.But i think if I quit smoking i will have the courage to fight everything and my anxiety levels will go way down.I am going to open up here in ways i havent done before.i think i need to express myself while quitting smoking.
hope to get some support through tough times.
NItin.
