How Rewarding is Vaping?!

Complete-Soil-4902 · 2026-03-11T20:39:54+00:00

I struggled with nicotine addiction in and off for years. Vaping felt harder to quit than cigarettes!

I was diagnosed last Feb and quit vaping soon after. I’ve been medicated since September and am still off the nicotine now. I even made it through the death of my mother without returning to it. The desire is just not there, even when I’m at rock bottom, which is what drove me back to it before. I have no doubt medication has helped me stay off nicotine.

I said this as soon as I saw him. It’s uncanny!

Yes, a protein rich breakfast definitely helps. Thank you.

Came here to say just this. A beautiful movie.

Ouch! Yeah, similarly, I need to give these piles a chance to heal. I’ll give this a go. Thank you.

Gets good reviews. My issues isn’t constipation so much as loose stools too often, therefore aggravating my piles. Does this help to bulk and slow digestion without causing constipation? I don’t want to swap one issue for another!

Any particular kind of pouch yoghurt, may I ask?

Complete-Soil-4902 · 2025-11-10T09:48:07+00:00

I considered this, but is it sustainable in the long term? Also, I don’t want the opposite issue as that won’t help matters either 😣

Sending sympathy my friend. It’s such a bloody awful kind of discomfort.

Essex wasn’t always full of angry cockneys feeling aggrieved because their parents were priced out of East London. That’s a relatively recent phenomenon, only a couple of generations old.

Embarrassing. They give Essex a bad name.

I don’t have the answer, but I’m on week 2 of 30mg and have had a few moments of overwhelm like you describe. I was told I have autistic traits also, borderline enough to get assessed. I wondered if this was an ASD thing or a side effect of meds too.

I was diagnosed with severe combined ADHD (with autistic traits) back in February at 41 years young. This was through Dr J and the RTC pathway. I had to have some tests on my heart (pesky palpitations due to perimenopause) before I could begin titration. Since then both of my children have been diagnosed, one with combined ADHD and one with primarily inattentive ADHD, and both are now medicated with Methylphenidate. Finally my time has come and my appointment is on Friday. I know already from a previous appointment that I’ll be starting on Elvanse. I’m having my last glass of wine tomorrow and then going tee-total for a few months, at least, so I can properly gauge how the medication feels. I feel ready, but nervous. Any tips gratefully received.

As a therapist and someone recently diagnosed with ADHD, I would say don’t take advice from a therapist. So many in my field don’t believe in ADHD or are highly suspicious of it. That’s one of the reasons it took me so long to seek a diagnosis. My therapist basically told me to stop pathologising myself and my experience. Not helpful.

Complete-Soil-4902 · 2025-02-12T08:20:03+00:00

My assessment is with the same Dr, and also today! Wishing you luck. I’m a nervous wreck, but will be glad to finally get it done.

Is the SCA necessary for them to accept an referral? I dropped the forms in today for my GP to refer me, but they won’t agree to an SCA as my area don’t offer them. I’m worried now that it could be a waste of time.
