> Sid, tell me to shut up if you like, because I'm not sure if I'm being out of line.
I appreciate your candor Dinah, and value your opinion. I also believe you speak with the best of intentions.
I need the feedback. I'm not sure whether I see things clearly...I honestly don't know.
> But from the outside it appears that you feel the worst while you are smoking, and in that one long period of time when you weren't, you were the most positive that I've ever seen you.you pay attention huh? that's good :-)
I was in a fairly good place for a while.

> I know you smoke to feel better. But I was just checking to see if it was as clear from the inside as it is from the outside that it might possibly have the opposite effect from what you intend.I'm trying to figure it out.
> I could be all wrong. It may be the other way around. That you are feeling bad so you smoke more, and that I'm seeing the result not the cause. But maybe you could consider calling your pdoc and therapist when you feel bad before rather than after you try self medicating? Just as a way to see if it affects you as a depressant?perhaps I can suggest that to my T, or write it down or something in order to communicate it, clarify it..something.
Thanks Dinah :-)
