Mental Health Support

Linda, first of all... Congratulations! You're doing great for yourself and I hope that the road is smooth from here on out with only minor bumps along the way. I'm hoping that after a while we'll be able to walk past people smoking and turn around the 'if only I could' attitude into a 'if only I could help them like so many had helped me'. Oh, and lest I forget.... I wanted to tell you... 'mentally challenged', though very PC isn't as fun as how I like to consider phrasing it... try 'social underdogs'... everyone loves an underdog and it makes people smile! (Admit it... you just smiled... at least a little bit) 😃

Deep breathing will really help the cravings pass Linda! Also play with a straw, pencil or pen, it's about the size of the cigarette, it's all about the retraining!

Hi! I am fairly new to this site and was searching for groups that involve both smoking and depression. I am currently not taking medication for depression and quitting smoking (not a great combo I know). I am trying to see what I actually feel like without all those drugs flowing through my veins. So far I've been pretty bitchy! I am thinking of getting back on medication for my depression but I am not sure which medicine to take. I have tried Effexor, Wellbutrin, Lexapro and the new one P-something.
  I have already had 1 lapse in my journey to quit smoking but luckily I took one puff off the cigarette and threw it out because it was gross! I really don't like smoking, it's just habit and something to cure my boredom and something to do in order to "walk away" from my life.
  Well thanks for listening...
