Hi, I was just wondering if anybody has any experience with stopping smoking.
I stopped smoking recently and was using the patches and inhalator, day 1 went ok, day 2 was awful my anxiety just went crazy, i felt like i couldn't breath and by tea time i was sat crying. I managed to last 5 days in total and the anxiety did not get any better, it was terrible. I also started to feel depressed and was fighting back tears while i was at work.
On the 6th day i started smoking again and am back smoking 25-30 a day now (have been for 2 days)
I am desperate to quit smoking, i am terrified that i will become seriously ill due to smoking and my partner and i want to have another child.
I just dont understand how i can cope with the anxiety levels.
If anyone has any advice or has been through this i would appreciate any advice you have. Its also worth mentioning that i am quite stressed at the moment by other issues too but i am hoping this wont hinder me quitting too much.
many thanks
Sarah
