| | 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 guess I'm feeling sort of generally down, blue and a bit anxious. Living with this no win addiction (ciggs), is reaking havoc in my life. Don't suspect, I'll get to feeling any better than this until I get these cigg's down again and keep them down. Feeling helpless and powerless and a great deal of fear, in relationship to specifically this.-(ciggs)
Outside of this I'm feeling somewhat discouraged with my workload, a bit too anxious about what I'd like to be able to do and accomplish, as well as, my pers. goals. Also, feel somewhat glad about life, hope and envisioning some more opportunities for life, as well as, service. So I figure now, I'm feeling mixed feelings today, .....both pleasant and unpleasant.
As for my addiction, I quit ciggs once before for 2 1/2 yrs., so I know it can be done. Why not, again? |

| | goingonhope-
I know how you feel about the cigs - I tried quitting in August of last year and had a meltdown. I'm smoking again and my T doesn't think it's the best time to try and quit again - but it is a future goal. It's so damn hard.
Today I feel
Tired (what a surprise!)
fragile
scared from my latest bout of nightmares |
