bbee,
Your post is a flag for The Depression Center when you comment on any type of suicidal thoughts. At this time, it is extremely important to seek help. There are many counselors and doctors that are available to help you.
Quitting smoking is tough, but as you proceed through your quit the symptoms of depression should not be to the point where you are unable to cope with life.
There is a website call hopeline. The web address is http://www.hopeline.com. Please contact them to get information for a suicide hotline in your area.
We hope that you seek the help you need. If you feel that you are unable to find any help then please go to the nearest hospital and they will be of great assistance.
Take care,
Melanie
I am referred by the Stop Smoking Center. I am 73 days quit.
And am going through a hard depression. I also have a lot of
problems due to underemployment for the last 3 years. Every
month I get this super shot of stress that leaves me feeling
like I have nothing left to offer. I move the money around,
robbing peter to pay paul. All money goes for the basics like
rent, food, utilities, insurance....I never go out socially
because I can't afford it. I am stuck in my house all the time
trying to ride it out. I feel like there is nothing worth fighting
for in my life anymore except maintaining my smobriety. For
some reason remaining smoke free is the one thing I can feel
good about......because I am doing it. Therapy and meds are
out of the question: One because I cannot afford it, Two,
because the last time I let a doctor talk me into meds (which
didn't work anyway), I got this black mark on my medical
records and EVERY company denied me insurance. I fought
for months to get limited insurance again that I pay $300/mo
for And I am not going to chance it again. I am now
exercising to try and relieve my suffering. I am a fighter, and
I mean really a fighter. but lately I have just retreated to the
bathtub to cry and lament over how much I don't enjoy living
yet I wouldn't really want to put anyone through the trouble
of having to find my body and clean up my mess. But these
are thoughts that happen every day now. I feel like I used to
be a person that was valuable to society but not any more. I
don't have it in me to fight to figure it out much longer.
