Befor I got mentaly ill, I stoped smoking for about 4-5 months. Slowly during that 4-5 months I got sick. It wasn't till the end of that period that I went back on vacation and got back into drugs and smoking, then the vacation ended and I quit it all, again. With in 2 months I was in the mental hospital taking all kinds of medicine. The next few years I went in and out of ciggarette use and drugs and meds and totaly clean. Some how I came to the conclusion that smoking was the answer to not being mentaly ill. Because of these periods of not smoking when I would get sick. Even now just the thought of quiting or being quit makes me anxious and unable to work.?? I've tried and my school work goes down or usualy I'm just too scared to leave the house. I'm at the point where a ciggarette is as valuable as meds.
I do take wellbutrin SR and it cuts down on my number of ciggs, but for some reason I just can't totaly give them up. With out going insane to the point I withdraw from people and work. I've quit many times for months at a time, past the point where I should be totaly nicotine free, but I'm sick, stuck in the house afraid to go anywhere, with masive anxiety. I start smoking again and it all changes.
