I was having a real down time with bipolar depression and so close to buying cigarettes for comfort, just looking for any comfort. You all helped me through it. I went online and searched for a forum for bipolar. I found a really good one. Such a relief. I have lost all of my friends, and even family has turned against me because of the yo-yo moods--they never know who I will be today. They fault me for "thinking negative," and tell me to "just think positive thoughts." The success I've found with this forum (and Doreen) encouraged me to keep looking for a group of like-minded people with whom to connect. This Quittrain support group has not only helped me quit smoking and stay quit, but think about other areas of my life where an online group might be helpful. Ripples across the water. Thank you all5 points

I'm so glad you guys care about your quits enough to post an SOS so that we could help you through it. There's no shame in that no matter how many years quit you are4 points

@Kate18I also suffer from bipolar anxiety and depression. I would love to know the name of the online group you found. Please message me when you are able. I also came close to smoking recently but put out an SOS here and made it through. It is tough getting through the day sometimes. Lately, I have not been going out much or hanging out with people. I am guarding my quit this time. If I feel like I am going to be manic, I just stay in until it passes. It is difficult sometimes, but I have very few close family and friends that get it. I am also glad this forum exists because smoking will just make my mental state worse. I am very glad that we have a place like this where we can have support.4 points

I don't think I'm alone here...some of us have those songs that we like in spite of not wanting to admit that we like them. For me personally, many of these songs are tunes that were popular in the eighties. They were songs that my sister liked, so me being the pesky little brother that I was spoke often of how terrible those songs were. It was a pointless debate, but I would say things like: "Duran Duran sucks! Van Halen rules!" Heard one of those songs while I was eating lunch this afternoon. Now, I can confess that I looked this song up and listened to it again.1 point

Great that you found a cool safe place to walk. Physical activity is so beneficial to the body and the mind. I am looking forward to getting back to my routine, in a few weeks, when I return to California. Right now, I am in St. Louis, MO. Later today, on to Kansas City, where my guy’s son lives. We will stay several days, then head further west.1 point

Neither of my parents smoked. But a lot of other relatives and friends did so it was acceptable in most places. I remember Mom bringing out ash trays when smokers came over even though she hated the smell in the house. In her later years I would only smoke in a bedroom when I came to visit her or go outside weather permitting. In her last year in a nursing home I would go outside to smoke. I`ll always remember her asking me if I didn`t want to step outside for a smoke and telling her that I was around 3 months quit. I started because I thought it was cool and most of my friends (musicians) did. Should have listened to Mom.1 point
