have any of you picked up smoking to deal with anxiety and panic attacks? I have, well since I sent myself to the hospital when I cut myself during a panic attack and had to get stitches I've been smoking trying to not cut. I haven't cut in a month but the last month or so I've been smoking a lot more.
Any of you smoke to replace other bad habits? Posted on 05/14/08, 11:05 am |

I actually tried to drink this demond away but it made it worse. If i were you i would find something else to cut. Youre to beautiful to hurt yourself.

I already smoked before I had panic attacks, but since then it skyrocketed to more than a pack a day. Do you think you are addicted to cigarrettes? Because that will be a huge factor in your being able to find a healthy outlet for this stress. I'm so sorry that you are feeling this way. I hope this helps.
