Give and get support around quitting
I've been panicking the past few days. Almost constant in the past 48 hours. Feeling completely overwhelmed. Terrified, a sense of impending doom, clenching burning in my belly, mind racing, overwhelming grief. Dont feel safe anywhere.
I havent felt this way I about 2.5 years when i had a breakdown and went on stress leave for a year. Its come back with my quit and the only thing I can think of doing that feels safe right now mlm is to smoke. It's my safe place. Its what I turned to whenever I was overwhelmed and consumed with panic in the past. It's what I turned to when my mom on died suddenly 19 years ago. Now I dont know where to turn and the grief and fear feel absolutely overwhelming.
The idea of smoking seems better than this. I dont feel I can cope with life like this.
And I dont know if any of you can really help me. But thought I'd try.
I keep forgetting to say I found out smokers burn (forgive the pun) 200 more calories a day. I don’t have a weight problem but it might help those that struggle with it. Just passing it along.
