Please - Someone help! I will try to make this as short as possible. I am 19 years old...girl..in college... i started smoking in 10th grade of high school because i have an anxiety disorder and i found cigarettes REALLY helped it...after being on meds for years and therapy and everything...cigs seemed to be the only cure. in the middle of freshman year of college, i got horrible bronchitis. i mean - BAD! steroids, antibiotics, inhalers, i really couldnt breathe. my mom has horrible lungs and cant even be in the same room as any type of smoke.
i got bronchitis a couple times after that ( i also got it once in high school ) and i finally quit smoking. (this was last may) at first it was easy, i didnt even really notice, and because of how horrible and uncomfortable bronchitis was for me - i thought nothing was worth getting that again.
but here i am - second year of college - going out of my MIND . cigs helped me in every aspect. my add, my anxiety, my ocd, everything. i mean... they were my savior. how bad would it be to start smoking again? bad lungs run in the family and im only 19 and have gotten sick about 5 times. i am just at a loss right now. |
