It’s a natural reaction to the breaking of a habit like smoking from what I’ve heard, power through it it’ll fade! [spoiler]Sorry, all out of salt![/spoiler]

You should look into GERD. It's common for smokers, and isn't hard to avoid if you know about it.

See ya later dude

See you soon, you’ll conquer that mountain in due time! [spoiler]The Veggie has spoken[/spoiler]

Now your sounding like a person that recently quit smoking. Smoke a joint if it helps, not a spliff. Your doing well man this part is the hardest, your fighting chemical and physical addiction, physical should be gone in a week or 2.

Tis a weird rant indeed, but I think taking some time from off topic may be a good thing. I hope that you get better man.

Good luck with the non smoking. Hope you find meaning in your life. God loves you and so do i. Ive had IBS since i was 15 and im an old fart now but there are meds that can help so go see a doc. Ill be waiting with open arms and a closed mouth if you return. I edited this because my spelling stinks

My god. Users are returning and leaving, my brain can't comprehend....

Hope you feel better soon! We will miss you.

I’ve been in a bad place before with anxiety depression, feeling stagnant in life, that hopeless helpless kinda rut where nothing seems to bring happiness. I feel for you man. You should be proud of not smoking. It’s tough. Being able to stick with that means you have a hell of a lot more grit and willpower than maybe you’re giving yourself credit for. Quitting smoking can really mess with your neurology. When I went through my emotional stuff and was trying to quit it was really rough. I tried researching it from a scientific angle, because getting caught up in the emotional aspects just brought me down more. A trick to re train your neurology to allow for more endorphin production and resulting happiness was developed by some researchers trying to help with PTSD (there is a new more accurate term now that I can’t recall) sufferers. I’m not saying you’re in that bad of a spot, but it might help. Spend some time going through all the crap that makes you feel down. Analyze a little on why you feel that way. Don’t over analyze, just analyze it to the point where you have a decent enough handle on it to be able to do something about it. When you have something you could do, write it down. So for example: I feel lonely. Why? Not enough friends, no gf. Solution, call up friends and hang out more, go out to paces and do things where I could meet more people. It doesn’t need to be more in depth than that. Now you don’t have to try and force yourself to do that, just keep the solution in mind and know that it’s there when you’re ready. It’s just a plan that you have in place to move forward. Then, this sounds weird, but according to the researchers it really works. Watch 15 minutes of videos of puppies playing. The transition from a self analytical state focusing on problems and solutions to a mental state of observation and taking in stimulus of innocent happiness trains your brain to shift out of the ruminating state and into one of endorphin production. It was most effective in depressed patients and sufferers of PTSD, 2 or 3 times a week. I think it actually helped me retrain my neurology and get me out of a self-pity depressed helpless mentality. I don’t know if you’re in that bad of a metal state or in a bad place all depressed, but even if it’s just a little funk you’re in, it might help. I wish you the best my friend.

I also watched a video a out Boogir2988 mostly cause it was titled something like "Boogie2988 exposed"

[i]you can never TRUELY lea-[/i] have a nice one! [i]watch your ba-[/i]*cough* *cough* might have caught something... hmm [i]di-[/i] must be nothing.

Damnit I just got back!

I am getting mixed messages, are you leaving offtopic?

Good luck... [spoiler]perhaps you could join the void...[/spoiler]

good luck and godspeed

From experience. Once you leave for a while, you either get sucked back in or barely touch the place. I left for 2-3 months. Came back around the time this stuff started arising. Got more depressing, left again. I lurk every few days or weeks. But its not the same As for your other struggles, keep strong.

Man, sounds rough Hope it gets easier soon

Goodbye, have a wonderful time!
