Notices

Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

I have never smoked. Spent the first 10 years of my life watching my dad struggle for breath and then die because of it. I can remember very clearly my dad, hooked up to the oxygen tank and still lighting up.

wow, jet i'm sorry you had to witness that. yea, i know a couple of people who lost a parents to lung diseases related to smoking and never want to touch cigs as a result. I am a smoker and I sincerely wish I could quit. Being addicted is complicated though. It's not just the nicotine you miss. You become emotionally reliant on the nicotine and the very act of smoking.

I smoked about a pack a day. After I was injured ( Ptsd) I stayed in the back room & I'm afraid I went up to 3 packs. I lost 2 years after that, smoking like that. I'm down to 2 packs . Some other things are on my mind right now which makes it hard to attempt, come to think of it, there's so much on my mind I can't sort it all out. Yes, I have to quit, some of you may understand that.

I do smoke and have been since I was 14.
It seems when I'm in a depression I get so much worse and smoke nearly a pack a day.
Does anybody else have this happen to them?
