Smoking cigarettes
Posted: 01-09-08 16:44pm

Does anyone find that smoking cigarettes help you to stay sane during your life of hell? EVERYTIME I try to quit smoking, I ALWAYS have a mental breakdown, it feels like I'm not medicated at all. There have been times where I've gotten past that mental breakdown and stayed strong enough to live w/o cigs... but it's not like that anymore. I just wanna know if anyone has experienced anything like this.... It feels like the cigarettes help me more then the meds do... and I just wanna know if I'm alone in this or not.

I work w/ clients who have a dx'd mental illness and the majority of them are really quite attached to their cigs and say the same as you.

Ohh, alright. Thanks for letting me know. What does dx'd mental illness mean?

Sorry, it means "diagnosed mental illness". Dx is short for diagnosis.
