Congrats to all who had recent anniversaries. Isn't it wonderful to be able to breath again. I have to say that no matter what all the new studies eventually say, it's one of the best things that ever happened to me. I would say vaping saved my life. Even with the cancer I would have had a terrible time quitting.

Congratulations Dominique! 6 months goes quick doesn't it? So what differences to you see after 6 months without a cigarette? I wonder when it becomes official that somebody is a former smoker?
Teresa Brewer. So that's who sang that song. Never heard the recording. I remember my mother singing that tune when she was in a good mood.

Way to go Dominique,
So having had some time to process and figure out my own emotions, I will now vent a little. I was hit hard by the suicide of Robin Williams. I have struggled with depression for many years, not a day goes by that thoughts of doing the same cross my mind. The emotional apathy and physical pain depression causes sometimes makes me nonfunctional. I get through the day, every day, through shear force of will. I find something, anything, to look forward to. Sometimes it is vape mail, sometimes it is a TV show, I tell myself "just hang on till this happens". It is tough. I can see why Williams did this, but I am still disappointed in him. He was one of my idols, and I wonder, if he can't make it, can I? The jury is still out. The struggle goes on. I'm not that tough, but I am holding my own.
And I've got vape mail coming.

Russ, I have been there. Medication helps, but when cultural issues are involved, it is difficult to find a good counselor to help you work through those. Look for some help, and remember that we are always here to listen. Take it to PM if you need to vent without the public eye.
Russ, I find myself with a bag of "mother's little helpers" that sometimes don't help much. I am also available for venting duties should you need a friend. What I find somewhat suprising is how many of us suffer from depression. I have been taking meds fot ir for 20 years or so and have found out that the effectiveness of the meds disapates with time. My doctor has changed my meds several times over the years. All SSIs but different strengths and formulations. That seems to help but I have to notify her when I feel they are no longer working. Although a terrible tragedy, Robin's death has brought a well needed spotlight on depression and removed some of the perceived stigma on talking about it.

Holy Crap - I can't believe 83 people have bought this at the selling price.

Aw Russell, I wish I could give you a hug. I've never experienced the depths of depression like you have, but my understanding is that there are chemical issues in the brain as well as emotional factors involved. I'd heard that very often depression is part of Parkinson's Disease (who wouldn't be depressed about that Dx anyway!) and it is thought that it may have complicated Robin's condition. All we could see in Robin was what he wanted us to see outwardly. We can't know what was going on in his head. Things are not always how they appear. Please find a counselor/psychologist/psychiatrist who you feel comfortable with to help you. There really is help available.
{{{Russ, Matt, omg}}} Kind of understand what you folks are saying - I say kind of because I deal with the other end of the depression thing on a daily basis. Went through all the SSRI's and even other meds years ago but they either made me fell doped up all the time or had side effects worse than dealing w/ the anxiety itself. So I haven't taken any meds for years and just deal w/ it on a daily basis best I can. I do see a head doc for regular sessions - and for me that serves as a check-point to gauge if it's getting out of control or whether I'm keeping it in check. I'm sure its a major reason I was such a heavy smoker and I'm so glad vaping came into my life to replace smoking close to 3 packs a day.
And a 99.4% positive feedback!
I suspect, at that price, it must come with 20 miles each of 28 and 30 Kanthal, 12 500' boxes of cellucotton, wind, wick and install the coil for you.
Seeing a glass half full, it's encouraging and refreshing to see the heartfelt support for and from those here with 'issues'. No one can help if no one else knows!
May all your 'vape mail' boxes be full!

All this makes me wonder if the biological causes of depression increases the chance of becoming addicted to cigarettes.
Biological/cultural feed into each other. I always used to say that since depression is anger turned inwards, smoking was an alternative to giving others a black eye. Hitting myself in the lungs, so to speak.
