Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
Recent on DS BP support group,I posted an OT post regarding my 2 options about weather to continue to smoke or to quit.
2 opt's that my P-Dr n my P- Nurse gave me n only opt's.
If I go into process of quitting, I will have swift quick n instant death.
2nd of the 2 being: yrs of long drawn out painful suffering & overwelming medical cost n death.
A CL on DS BP group recommend: www.dailystrength.org/smoking.

My mind will go above highest high & during these upward stages, I will do my self in. And according to them based on my med records n knowing me. they said/say that I will do the deed swiftly n it will be quick n in an instant, I'll be dead.
No I won't do something as nutty as doing my wrest...
I needed to quit for my physical health, plus I never liked smell nor taste ,n I don't want to end up like my Aunt who only has 1 lung n other is already damaged due to smoking.
Regarding smoking,It's a dam if I do n a dam if I don't.
I pray that what I have reluntantly shared will not be n is not a trigger to anybody.
I'm just takeing a poll to help me make up my mind.
I know that I can quit cold turkey.
Thank you for replying. I really didn't think that anybody would.
Hopefully you will stop long enough to feel the positive experiences for yourself without having to ask anyone else. You'll just know.
All the best to you cos I gave up over three years ago and I very definitely am not dead.
I think.
I miss my old life but I like the life that I managed to create n I like n enjoy liveing life to it's fullest n all that it has to offer n has given me.
I really don't know which I should do.
Since my last P-Dr appt. I have gone from 1 pk a wk to chain smoking.
I'm really need input to assist me with makeing up my mind as to which I should do.
Should I take risk by quitting or pass on from a slow dealth, due to smoking ?
Ya it's a gamble.
Today being Sat Oct 20/12, I have smoked a pk. today. that is aprox 3.5 hrs of smoking today n night is still young.
I only require/get on averg. 4 hrs of sleep nightly. so ya I also smoke throughout most of night.
What would you do if you were in my shoes ?
Again Thank you for replys n careing enough to have replied.
Based on your reply I just toss out 2.5 cart's of cigs n kept 2 un- opened pks. I'm going to give it a try to c what happens if anything for a mo..I pray that your right. I know that I can go cold turkey. I will still have w/draws for a short period of time n I know that 1st wk being hell wk. n 3rd wk is durable.
How did you quit n how long did it take to get past/over come the want's n temptations ?
I admire your stength n for gaining a healthy life w/o cig's I'm soo proud of you.
Thank You for replying.
