Im cooked i fear

i'm kind of disappointed in myself for becoming addicted.

growing up both, my parents were chainsmokers and I'm pretty sure my mom smoked cigarettes when she was pregnant with me lol. now they vape. literally up until a couple months ago I was so against smoking nicotine. every time I was offered a vape I'd always say no, and when me and my boyfriend first started dating he quit nicotine because he did not want me to be uncomfortable.

at first, I'd only smoke a cigarette after work with my friend and we would just talk. then it was two cigarettes a night, and then I bought my own pack and then ever since then it's been like two or three a day. I keep justifying it because I'm going through a very stressful time in my life, especially in my relationships. but hiding it from my parents, making sure I drown myself in perfume so I don't smell like cigarettes before I come inside, and reflecting lol. I just feel very guilty and dirty. when I ran out of my last pack, I didn't buy anymore.

i've experienced some type of withdrawal from drinking coffee everyday but I have literally been thinking about a cigarette every single day since I quit. I mean, I don't like smoking nicotine, it's made my oral health start decreasing, my appetite is lower, i'm more irritable until ive had a cigarette. but holy SHIT idk how yall do it. Im ITCHING for a cigarette everytime i leave my house.

I have heard that the first time you quit is the worst cravings. But its about wraps for me im seriously about to ask a stranger for one. i've been smoking more weed to get the smoking sensation, but I cannot be high all the time 💀

▲ 3 r/prozac

First time on Prozac and idk if im having a negative or positive reaction lol

i've been on Prozac for maybe two months now and every two weeks, I'm getting a higher dose. Right now I'm on 40 mg and this is like my second or third day taking that amount. it's weird because I feel good and the side effects that I am having aren't really that prominent besides sweating and weird dreams.

I feel like not only has my anxiety increased in certain areas and then decrease in others but just my lifestyle in general. like for example last week randomly I didn't have work or any plans so I just did not leave my bed. I literally haven't done that since I was a sophomore in high school. but at the same time I'm way more social than I used to be. BUT, I'm not really keeping up with my chores or routines anymore.

I guess I'm just kind of ranting about things that I wish I told my psychiatrist in my last appointment. I haven't really done too much research so I don't know what I'm supposed to be feeling or how my brain is changing.

(it also probably does not help that I am addicted to nicotine and experiencing withdrawal💔)
