> Yes, hearing voices can make me anxious. The shortness of breath really sucks. But oh well, it is what it is. I don't smoke but I use smokeless tobacco (dip) all the time. I worry about getting mouth cancer.

> Thanks for your kind words. I wish you all the best as well. Never give up! :-)Yes, being out of breath suck for sure, it's make me very anxious and I can't exercise...
At least you don't smoke, only use smokeless tabacco is far less dangerous than smoking, I agree that you can get mouth cancer but its a rare cancer if you compare the rate of mouth cancer vs lungs cancer... Half of people's who smoke will die from it. Also high % of people's with a psychiatrist disorder smoke, my Doc always told me that smoking is a natural AD, kinda of a mild MAOi increasing dopamine, serotonin and noradrenaline to name a few...but it's a bad habit, far worse than drug addiction, alcohol addiction or all kind of other addictions... Even if most of the time my first cigarette in the morning lead to powerful panic attack, I still smoke, even if I have difficulty to breath and have wheezing noise from my lungs I still smoke, even if I have chest and back pain especially with deep breathing and lungs pain I still smoke, even if my heart rate goes crazy when I smoke I still smoke... the only one addiction that I can't fight... I stop street drugs cold turkey years ago, stop drinking alcohol cold turkey, never had drug or drink alcohol again since many years, and never had withdrawal symptoms and never crave for drugs or alcohol after I quit... But cigarette smoking is very different, each time I had surgery and had to stay at the hospital for weeks, even with nicotine patch and nicotine lozenge I had intense craving, short temper, withdrawal symptoms and had only 1 idea in the head and it was to smoke a cigarette!!! That's crazy... Recently I spend a lot of money on an electronic cigarette and nicotine juice... Even if its doing smoke and taste good and deliver nicotine like regular cigarettes, I can't feel satisfied and need to smoke a real cigarette... I hate it!!! Everyone in my family stop smoking, my dad smoked for more than 50 years and he stop cold turkey, no patch or nicotine lozenges or gum... Same for my brother and 2 sisters... One of my sister had a relapse of depression after she stop smoking but she start again her cymbalta and she's mostly ok now... Me I can't stop and I feel so guilty cause each day I continue to smoke I know I destroy my healh, and what I want the most is to be in good health physically and mentally... We can't reverse the damages done from cigarettes smoking... Have no energy and no patience at all to enter into a withdrawal process of nicotine with the amount of anxiety I live right now in my life, I'm already lucky to not be suicidal since what I fear he most is death!!! The unknow!!!
Anyway... Can't wait to feel better and return to school and work... 6 years now that im on disabality... Don't want to end my days in that state with no money or income to live...
Well thanks again and sorry if I wrote long message... Have a nice day and take care of you ok -:)
