Reva you should see a doctor and find out if you are bipolar or if it is depression alone. There are meds out there that make you feel almost normal again. I am bipolar but take my meds faithfully, and enjoy a normal life, just a thought.

Hi. I'm bipolar. I started trying to quit a week ago. I was in a depression. So I started wellbutrin. Doing better than I expected.

Not sure if Im Bi-Polar or not all I know is Im severly depressed and always under a lot of stress have been for years. Im one of those peole that think everything happens to me and Im an overall failure! Plus my self esteem and confidence is way down.., When I quit cold turkey in the past I turned into a raging person attacking everyone in sight! I have been feeling so alone latley... My spouse doesn't smoke and my Father smokes like a chain! We are all living together right now and its so hard to get support from either one of them because one doesn't understand and the other one is a lifetime smoker who doesn't want to quit! So I have no one... I talked to a coach from the Quitline twice now but have been having some problems with procrastination and excuses! I really want to quit though. I currently smoke a pack a day of Menthol cigs and tryed to change to non-methol but they made me very nauseated so I went back to Menthol and picked up back where I left off! Im not qualified for any nicotine medicine and cannot afford it right now being that I currently am laid off from work for a month! I have to much time on my hands being stuck at home and am not sure what to do with it. We are planning on moving soon my spouse and I and once we move I won't be around any smokers yay! But that won't be until the end of this month. Im going to start smoking only outside and see if that helps because I live on the fourth floor in an apartment building. Im also going to start tracking my cigs again and start a stress journal so wish me luck! Also, if you have any other ideas or advice that you have used to help yourself quit please let me know! I need all the help I can get right now! My spouse almost left me within the first two days off not smoking and we have been together for 3 1/2 yrs!

Just thought that I'd let everyone know that we still have'nt quit smoking yet but we are going to try again tomarrow it'll be a better day because we have nothing planned then. Went to the Dr. yesterday and my oxygen level was down and they put me on the oxygen and then the nebulizer so then it got better. Linda I agree with Anita about the meds. so check with your Dr. first before you do it again. We love you so do not be so careless about the meds. because I know I care about you.

Love You Kathleen

Good afternoon to everyone. I really want to smoke again but I know I will jeapordize my quit time which is right at 5 days. It just seems like the urge to smoke doesn't quit coming no matter what I have tried. Nic-fits suck!!!!!!
