Hello im 29 years old in the middle of my life my career . I have been smoking for 11 years since the university . The last 2 years was horrible for me i suffered from anxiety disorder that i thought it health probleme at first and i became more anxious . I didnt know that my body would do that if im anxious so my gp started to give me anxiolitique such as dianxit then i stopped smoking for 2 month but i start again . I felt better less anxious of course bit depressed . I couldnt find the meaning of life without cigarettes everything was silly for me . I had tried to stoped more than 10 times in these 2 years . Ive tried everything ( patches , gum , magnetic around the ear ) but it failed ... my situation of anxiety became more serious . Im having now a burnout .... and it became serious they are giving me antidepressant . Im very worried and verry affraid . Is there anyone with similar experiance ??? That have quited and continue his life normaly ???

Hello Struggler. On this site there is support for those trying to quit. I think your problems are beyond what most of us can presume to be able to solve. I hope you return to your GP and that a suitable plan can be devised to help you. Wish you well.

Hi Struggler,

Really sorry to hear of your anxiety disorder

but I do agree with Lia, please see your GP

for management and tell him or her

everything even the minor problems. I also

suffer anxiety but have found that since I

quit, that has improved but that is also

working with my doctor.

Nothing to be ashamed of, you just need

good monitoring.

I hope you post back.

Take good care.

Hi Struggler,

I can guarantee you that once you kick the habbit, your anxiety will almost disappear.

I've noticed that when i quit smoking i became a lot calmer than before, my confidence also improved greatly. I now have the feeling that i can face any obstacle that life serves me.

You say that you have tried already 10 times to quit. Do not give up you are almost there!!!
