march quit group
Go introduce yourself to march. get on their roll. Once you are on roll post roll every single morning so we all know you are good. You're staying quit and giving us a headsup on your mental health with that. Post in here there are a lot of us that hang out in intro's to hopefully give some good advice, general chats another good area to get people attention.

anxiety/depression These guys are like you me and bubba they've gone through a lot of the same stuff we have, they've found ways to get around it.

I've got some products in my signature that really helped me, the lemon balm leaf pill and the magnesium suppliment are amazing. And they aren't mind altering drugs. I'm personally on a very low dose of escitalopram, still using it from before I found the suppliments, basically just enough to take the edge off, and then I use a serving of magnesium daily. It takes awhile for those to kick in. I've got access to a low dose of lorazepam (ativan) as my super emergency pill, I've had to use it 4 times, 2 of them were because of side effects I got from the escitalopram freaking me out. I use the lemon balm leaf pill as a not-so-emergency pill when I feel an elevated heart rate and when the anxiety starts to ramp up and usually that doesn't have as strong of an effect as the ativan but it brings it down to a controllable level.

I also take the lemon balm leaf pill nightly about half an hour before bed, it helps me sleep like a baby, awesome product.

Well I'm glad your back, but I can't understand why you would choose to struggle with this alone for the last 80 days. As bubba said you should get back in touch with your group, there are a lot of us around here that have gone through some of if not all of the same stuff you're going through and we are more than willing to help, but its not gonna be a one day get a bunch of advice type help. It's a process to get yourself under control. I'm not gonna say you can't do it alone, but it will be significantly more difficult if you just come on every few months and hope for advice. If you'd have had us in your corner since the beginning you'd probably be where me and bubba are now. Don't make the same mistake again. Go. Post roll. Get digits and get helped.

You should first join a quit group and get more support. I had really bad anxiety and depression. If you join a group. And post roll everyday I will exchange digits and let you know what helped me the most. Now I can get pretty nervous or emotional but it passes quickly. What would ruin my days now just ruins a few minutes of my day.

Hello,

I havenÂ’t been on the board in about 120 days, but IÂ’m approaching day 200 of being clean, no cheats or hiccups.
Real quick background, IÂ’m 36 chewed for 15 years and was chewing two cans a day when I quit. I donÂ’t drink, smoke or do drugs. So chew was my release for good times, bad times. Sports . It was my best friend. I would put In a chew within 2 minutes of waking up every morning before my shower.
After quitting I had very bad depression and my anxiety shot through the roof to the point I had to see a doctor to get some anxiety medicine. IÂ’m over the urge to chew and go full days without even thinking about it anymore. But I struggle horribly with my anxiety. Has anyone else had anything like this?
I had a little anxiety in the past but never anything that would make me even think about going to a doctor for help.
My days now are rollercoaster rides and I donÂ’t really leave my bubble. I used to love going out of town for Softball or baseball, now I get so nervous thinking about it I shy away from anything fun anymore.
200 days is great but my quality of life is no where close to what is used to be, and I m heading back to the doctor in 2 weeks to try something new.
