smoking

[bella1980]

Anyone still smoking while having anxiety? Lately, I feel as if my anxiety has been brought on a lot more due to it. It's as if I feel like I'm going to get cancer or can't breath--all health related anxiety just from smoking.

I sometimes get this but it's worth remembering that nicotine is a stimulant, and if you are feeling particularly anxious you might find that an extra stimulus increases your senses and anxiety. Don't worry though, just remember that anxiety tries it's hardest to play on our thoughts! Always a good reason to cut-down though ;)
