I wanted to find out more about vaping after MY DOCTOR recommended I try it.
I'm somewhat overweight and also have severe anxiety and depression.
My doctor recommended I try vaping as years ago, I used to smoke and it used to help calm me down. And even today, I get highly stressed and anxious and my first thought is that I need a cigarette.... even though I cannot physically smoke anymore (the chemicals in cigarettes give me major migraines).
With my overweight issues, and the depression, I tend to sometimes binge eat, or when I'm depressed, I just eat and eat, and usually throw up.
The doctor recommended me using 0mg e-cigs, with flavours that I like, so when I'm stressed, I suck on the e-cig, get a flavour hit, so I'm not eating food and gaining weight.
He also recommended it for my anxiety, because my brain tells me it needs a cig, even though I quit 9 years ago, so it has the motion of sucking on a cig, but no harmful stuff in it.
On top of that, with my anxiety, when I'm really anxious, I tend to have to take something in my hands and "fiddle" with it. When I was in his office, my anxiety was thru the roof and I was picking up his pens and spinning them around and around in my hands. So he reckons I could play with the e-cig, lol.
I find it odd, a doctor recommending me to use one of these for depression/anxiety/weight issues, since nobody really knows if they're harmful.... but meh. I said I would look into it.....
