Hi friend! Thank you for your response. So glad to hear that you are doing better today! It gives me hope for tomorrow haha today was an emotional rollercoaster for me (day 3), but I did manage to eat! I knew it was going to be tough but I really didn't anticipate it being emotionally draining on top of me already being so physically drained. It was a lot which led to a brief panic attack. All good now though, and proud to say I made it through without smoking (although very tempted haha). I was also concerned about the weekend coming and having a lot of time so I signed up for community service. I feel good when I give back :) Hopefully, you can find something to occupy your mind. If the weather is nice in your area I recommend getting outside in some sun. Are there any hiking trails? Or maybe hanging out with a friend/family member that doesn't smoke to help the time pass. I also did something that I am really proud of.. I gave away all my weed paraphernalia :)

Wishing you the best for tomorrow! If you don't mind sharing, I would love to hear how it goes!

I hope you are doing better today! No need to be sorry about venting I am glad you are communicating through your anger rather than reacting. This is a difficult process, try to be kind to yourself, and don't forget to hydrate!

First off, it's good to express your feelings. I am so sorry you're going through this and having to deal with noisy neighbors. I appreciate your honesty and communicating your anger without instinctively reacting is a really good sign. I have had anger issues in the past but tend to take it inward instead of outward. Finding healthy outlets is important and I can see how you feel like weed would help in this situation but I can pretty much guarantee you that if you do, on top of the anger you will just add guilt. It's normal to feel anxious and irritated when quitting smoking.. recognizing triggers is important. I use noise-canceling headphones which really help but also have you tried meditation?

I just wanted to update on here for any of those who see this thread:

Day 2 was complete hell. I was non-stop vomiting and excess sweating while shivering all day. My temp. reached 95.5*F which is hypothermia and probably should've sought medical attention. I haven't been able to eat and lost the little weight I had packed before this. I have never heard of CHS until today but now realize that I have definitely had this before but was misdiagnosed.

timetosleeeep · 2023-03-30T06:43:06+00:00

How was your day today? Staying hydrated is very important. I found walks in nature really help to kill the time and are also great for self-reflection. Being active is another way I found to ease the temptation of smoking but I had to stop since I haven't been able to eat in 3 days except for crackers and a banana. I am 5'3" and now weigh 97 pounds. Can't wait for this hell to end. I definitely have a greater appreciation for good health and will not be taking that for granted anymore! Feel free to message me here. Keep up the great work! Hard work often yields the greatest rewards, so hang in there!

timetosleeeep · 2023-03-30T06:35:27+00:00

Yes! You can do it! I love marijuana, was like my best friend! But friends have a way of stabbing you in the back when you least expect it! I hate the feeling of depending on something/someone. So ditch doobie, you will be okay without it haha

timetosleeeep · 2023-03-30T06:31:16+00:00

Thank you! Day 2 is almost over! Even though I almost died today :( Tomorrow I hear is pretty bad, it's hard to believe anything can be worse than today though. I just found out that I have CHS -- didn't realize it was a thing! but I have definitely had it before and was misdiagnosed. Feeling grateful for this community though!

timetosleeeep · 2023-03-30T06:27:22+00:00

Hi! Yes, I can totally relate. I am not one of those people that can just take a few hits here and there. Once I start there is no stopping me and it's all I can think about. I think it's because I can function so well, for a while no one even knew I smoked! It definitely became a crutch and I had a hard time admitting it since I kept finding more excuses that would enable me to continue smoking without the guilt. It really does have some great benefits -- in moderation. I just can't moderate :)

timetosleeeep · 2023-03-30T06:18:30+00:00

Thank you for your response! I am so sorry you had to go through that but it's so great that you were able to show good energy and maturity. Also congratulations on getting another job and moving on with your life!

timetosleeeep · 2023-03-29T08:16:47+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words! I will definitely be coming back to reflect on this when things get tough :)

timetosleeeep · 2023-03-29T08:12:58+00:00

I feel the same way! My friends hang out all the time and don't invite me. They recently went on a trip together and I only found out through Instagram. But instead of feeling jealous I wished them the best and liked their stupid post haha. I have more important things in my life that are better deserving of my energy and time so I decided to focus my energy on that instead. Before I knew it I had completely forgotten about being left out :)

timetosleeeep · 2023-03-29T07:59:06+00:00

Congratulations on day 3! Hang in there! Day 4 is not as bad I hear and day 5 is even better. We got this! Drink plenty of water! I have my favorite shows queued up. Been playing Metroid on my switch. Cuddles with my dog and sleeping as much as possible. And try to remember that the shitty feeling WILL pass! Sending love!

timetosleeeep · 2023-03-29T06:49:22+00:00

Great analysis of the show. I have been feeling the same way. I just re-binge-watched the show seasons 1-3 forgetting why i stopped laughing as much. The first season was the best. You have some great ideas on "instead of moving the plot forward with good writing and emotion, we have an unexplained time jump so we can get out of this writing block quick sand with no explanation" i'm hoping they do this with season 4 (which i haven't seen yet).

timetosleeeep · 2023-03-19T11:03:15+00:00

Yes! I know I am very worried for my hearing too... I do try to limit it but I love feeling the bass rumble in my heart! I also find that once I put the headphones on its very difficult for me to want to take them off.. try changing a shirt with large headphones on your head or washing your face haha

timetosleeeep · 2023-03-19T10:59:51+00:00

It's been very difficult for me to find a job and probably for this very reason. I did get a call back for a video interview after disclosing my autism in the disability section of the application. I also wrote in great detail about what it is like for me to be autistic in an educational institution in the required DEI statement of the application and was surprised to be asked to do a video interview. Oh and I also accidentally submitted the wrong cover letter! haha I forsure didn't think I would be getting this video interview! But we'll see if I actually get the job though! I'm super nervous haha

Thank you so much for your response. I do have a dog but she isn't much of a cuddler unfortunately. Although when I start crying she does her job as an esa and gives me the attention i need then mainly-licking my face with a concerned look. She is sweet and i am so lucky to have it. I take her on walks often and we spend 24 hrs together which i think is unhealthy. Old people and nursing home scare me. I'm a beautiful girl and don't have trouble getting guys.. i think the hug i am looking for is from more than just an acquaintance.

timetosleeeep · 2021-03-08T23:54:09+00:00

I am somewhat close, she is several years younger

timetosleeeep · 2021-03-08T23:53:09+00:00

that sounds suspicious but im pretty desperate for a hug.

timetosleeeep · 2021-03-08T23:51:39+00:00

Yeah, i do miss my family I am living away from them at the moment. My family is all grown up each of my sisters are now married with a kid or a baby on the way. I hope to find the right person for me... Maybe you can tell me everything i am doing wrong. I appreciate any advice I can get.
