I am a smoker and i smoke about 1 pack a day for 13years. Recently i started to have this instrusive thought telling me to quit smoking if i were wan to live longer. As smokers... i understand that its common to have shortness of breath and chest pain... whenever i encounter this symtoms my instrusive thought coming in to tell me to quit....
Smoking has already being part of my life...there are a few reason which i dont wish to quit. First i am afriad that it may wosen my ocd if i quit... secondly i find smoking sometimes and keep my mind occupied. Third . I am not a heavy smoker and almost all my friend smoke . Fourth . I somehow fee that we all will die on be it we smoke or not. And fifth.. like its help me think better
Whenever i have this thougjt i will start to panic and start googling online to read up some benefit of smoking and convince myself not to quit smoking. I dont mind cutting down te amount of cig i smoke everyday but not to the extent of quiting smoking but the thought feel so real telling me to quit... i cant make up my mind!!!!!!!!! I knew it maybe or must be ocd actting up again but it really feel so real i only feel relieve only when i m able to convince myself to not quiting smoking
Whenever i have a new istruvise thought ....my old thought goes aways
Can anyone please advise me over here
