Re-starting for the final time, this is it!!!!

[KittyBling]

Doesn't sound that bad, Rach, compared to how it could have been!. A lot of deep breathing involved with smoking, also a lot of "time out" time to have the cigarette so bear that in mind and maybe do that without the bad stuff? Take yourself off for 5 minutes, do lots of deep breathing and then come back? Have a great day,

That makes sense. I will have to try that. Maybe just go and stand at the back do door like I used to. Maybe roll up some paper haha. Only joking

Well back on it today. Had strawberries, grapes, raspberries and blueberries with my homemade low fat lemon yogurt.

Had my magnesium and d3 with calcium tablet(dissolving ones as I can't swallow most tablets) . I wonder how long they take to kick in.

 

[KittyBling]

It was the "time out" I missed most when I quit, that few quiet minutes away from everything. So do it, go and stand in the garden and take lots of slow deep breaths, as often as you would have done when you smoked, see how it goes.

morning. can't add anything to what kb said but its a good idea to try and take time out. big hugs from me xxxx

 

[Kes]

Well done for getting back on it... And your breakfast sounds yummy!!!!

 

[Rachgleeson]

Thanks everyone! ! I might just try that kb

Breakfast was yummy I really enjoyed it. Always enjoy fresh fruit. I like fruit more than veg. Would choose fruit anytime over veg!!

All going well food wise so far! ! Don't know what I will be having for tea. Really don't feel like anything. I have some carrot sticks and Green beans might have them. Well best go and get everyone else's tea ready. I hate meal times lol.

The taking the break with out the ciggy sounds a good idea Does breathing in a paper bag work? I've seen it in the movies..

Any way I hope you are feeling more in control today

I am not sure if the paper bag works someone once told me it's a placebo effect. I have used it a few times.

Not doing too bad so far today, had bits of anxiety but nothing too bad (yet)

 

[KittyBling]

Paper bag thing should work in theory, reducing amount of oxygen so lessening light headedness. Also helps to concentrate and slow the breathing. Glad the anxiety is manageable today.

I can say paper bag definitely worked for me x

 

[Rachgleeson]

Well today has been good (touch wood) hope tonight goes ok too.

I think the paper bag probably does work as it gives you something else to concentrate on. Been looking up pressure points and which ones can help with anxiety. Its very interesting.

Food has been good today. Had turkey breast with carrots green beans and potato croquettes. I read up that I do need carbs to regulate my blood sugar levels. Had some lidl Ecuador dark chocolate with caramel crunch 70% cocoa. As that's supposed to be good for a source of magnesium. ( only 2 squares)

Got some Chinese cabbage to try tomorrow. I don't normally like cabbage but this one isn't supposed to be strong. So willing to try anything once. Also meant to be good again for magnesium. I am getting a bit obsessed lol

 

[Lexie2005]

Well done honey you've had a good day & like I always say one day at a time xx

 

[Rachgleeson]

Had the absolute worst day ever. Had a massive panic attack which ended with me being at the doctor's. He has now put me on lexapro in the morning. I am on quetiapine in the evening or late afternoon. Mirap at night time and he has doubled my dose of gerax to 50mg. So hoping this works. I will be rattling soon.

Low calorie day food wise, food is last thing on my mind.

Oh dear, Rachel, you are having a rough time aren't you? I hope these new tablets help you. I know what you mean about rattling, though most of my many pills are for physical problems except for one anti-depressant. Take care. xx

 

[Rachgleeson]

Thanks Tracy. He has also given me a couple of numbers for psychiatrists. So rang one and left my name and number on her answering machine.

 

[toofatkat]

Oh Rachel. Good luck honey. Be strong it'll come to an end soon xxx

((((Hugs)))) from me. Have a better day tomorrow xx

 

[Rachgleeson]

Thanks kat and kb. I feel much better at the moment. The doctor listened to my heart and reassured me it was ok lol

 

[Mis-behave]

Oh what a dreadful day! I so hope the new tablets help

Thats good step to take to go talk to someone professional - us lot we are here to listen but I don't think any of us ate professionals for help

Hypnotherapy is meant to be ok - I had a course a long while ago and it helped with a load of anger and bad feelings I had towards my parents.
