Sid, tell me to shut up if you like, because I'm not sure if I'm being out of line.
But from the outside it appears that you feel the worst while you are smoking, and in that one long period of time when you weren't, you were the most positive that I've ever seen you.
I know you smoke to feel better. But I was just checking to see if it was as clear from the inside as it is from the outside that it might possibly have the opposite effect from what you intend.
I could be all wrong. It may be the other way around. That you are feeling bad so you smoke more, and that I'm seeing the result not the cause. But maybe you could consider calling your pdoc and therapist when you feel bad before rather than after you try self medicating? Just as a way to see if it affects you as a depressant?
I'm sorry if I'm being intrusive, or just plain ignorant about the subject.
