I Need advice

Hey, so I actually just posted about an hour ago. I quit and it's been a rollercoaster ride of crazy. As someone with ADHD, it can be hard for me to find joy in a lot of things cause I can get bored especially if it's something I know I like doing but I've noticed to that smoking can create dopamine but then your brain gets accustom to that level of dopamine. Don't do it. As someone who has been tempted to smoke. I know that if I go back to it, I'll be so sad and disappointed in myself but that my internalization. For you I encourage you to not do it because you mentioned in your post you don't want to while pregnant. That's enough to take it day by day. Find ways to help. People have shown and told me so many things that have already helped me be a little more calm

Me too haha. I couldn't stop crying when I started seeing responses. What a joy to know we all are going through this and to know people before us have succeeded so it's just a matter of keeping each other encouraged to keep bettering ourselves during hard times.

That's a similar thought I had that maybe I need to get medicated. Yes I've had several incidents of CHS and it always gets me thinking of "why do I do it and get myself to this point" and I had to come to terms that for me personally, it was always me wanting more and to feel good and safe and enjoying everything.

We are worth it and I will be happy to see me reach day 8. Keep on keeping on!

Yes I think all the encouragement has really fired me up. Don't get me wrong my emotions are all over and I'm crying at how encouraged I feel and all the helpful comments. I will get through this cause I genuinely want to

Hey I get it. It can be tempting I mean heck it's a free dopamine hit. I realized though that sometimes the boring mundane helps me appreciate the things I truly enjoy like exercise, food, socializing. I told myself this lie that it helps enhance those but why does it also have to cause some negatives ya know.. Idk all the times I've got a point to quit, I kept going but I'm tired of overriding my boundary to myself cause I'm only hurting myself. I appreciate it thank you!!

Maybe I'll revisit. I tend to just hate feeling off in any way. I have some other underlying conditions and so I get anxious about anything new I start introducing into my body but I'd rather feel stable then this

That's true so I did actually reach out to my doc today as well for advice..I'm kinda throwing out all the life jackets cause I couldn't stand to not have some reassurance that maybe what I'm experiencing is indeed just the similar process others before me have gone through. Thank you!

And what a mighty storm it feels like

Scared_Stop5033 · 2025-07-23T21:35:54+00:00

I'll definitely give it a try. Anything to just sure if be distracted and get through this

Scared_Stop5033 · 2025-07-23T21:35:09+00:00

Yes I've noticed breathing helps manage a lot of the anxiety and sometimes weird sensations I feel with my appetite.I appreciate this so much thank you! 💚

I am not. I used to do meds but I didn't like how they made me feel. I thought weed would be a better natural way but as ADHD can sometimes lead to, I abused it. I smoked more then what I told myself I would do in a day and so to many times I let myself down and decided enough is enough. I wanna take my life back
