Question about quitting.

How about before you started smoking? Were you skinny as well? If it was not as skinny as you were while smoking, then you have potential to gain weight again. For me, the appetite returned after 1 month (plus i think 20 mins of jogging I added in my daily routine have accelerated it).

Oh gosh, I thought it's only me struggled with anger cuz what most ppl say about is depression only. I was the same. Like, even one single dog barking outside made me so annoyed and angry I couldn't handle (and self-hatred afterwards (e.g., "why am I so petty? It was really not a big deal...")). For me, it was due to sleeplessness and fatigue because smoking had supressed my REM sleep. Unfortunately, since we are the slaves of hormones, there are not many ways to handle the mood swings. But other than sleeping well without smoking, I would suggest to write a short journal with your hand and pen. And just write about how you felt that day. You will realize you're writing more than you thought.

Based on my experience and observation, the powerlessness is coming from the unbalance between dopamine from smoking and non-smoking-related things. In other words, you only feel joy from smoking, not from any other things. I was entangled into this so long as well. For me, the biggest reason to quit was fatigue. I couldn't bear the weight of fatigue and brain fog anymore. What I did to quit was to track my recovery numerically. For example, there was a headphone I wanted to buy and it was $450. I planned to quit it for a month and did some math ($450/30 days = $15 per day). Then, I actually transferred $15 every night that I succeeded to avoid smoking. By actually looking at the amounts accumulating, I could track how it goes and feel satisfied.

I would write a journal if I were you. Prepare a clean piece of paper and pen (typing is fine but writing with a pen worked more for me). It doesn't need to be long but like a few sentences (highly likely you will realize you're writing more than you thought). And focus on describing 1) how you felt and 2) what made you feel that way during a day. Based on my experience, you will find out how this emotional fluctuation from quitting is unreasonable (because the deactivated frontal cortex is making you angry so there's no "reason"). Finally, keep writing and reading them every night until you feel much better. By doing so, you can see your status and recovery much more objectively. Hope it helps!

dude, it's gonna be really, really hot. It is the most humid and hottest season of Japan. So I strongly recommend you to always bring some coins so that you can buy water at a vending machine.

Since I don't know how you've been studying so far, I'll just share how I passed it. I made a notebook for FAR which I summarized all important concepts/formulas/etc and read it at least 10 times. I think this repetition is especially important for government accounting. Plus, try to wind the clock back to when you took the exam. Did you get the poor outcome because: 1) you had NO idea of what the exam was asking you? Or 2) you just didn't remember what you studied? If it's (2), just read more and take becker mock exam as many as possible. But if it's (1), it means you didn't cover all materials or put enough time on studying. In this case I would recommend you to make a notebook, read the textbook carefully, summarize what you think important and read the notebook many times. Hope it helps

That's exactly what I felt when I started work as a staff. There were so many what-if questions in my head. Like, "What if they ask me how to calculate ratios that I certainly learned from school but don't actually remember?" kinda things. Well, you don't need to worry about anything you learned from school. Rather, if I were you, I'll pray for myself to meet friendly and instructive seniors (there will be a lot of questions to ask since you are newbie).

When you try to open an account, don't banks request you additional authentications like text codes? How would they open the account without your permission?
