I’ve picked up smoking in order to control my anxiety and panic attacks. About a week ago, I had the worst panic attack I’ve ever had. I lost all ability to move my limbs and couldn’t breathe properly. So now I’m a smoker and my family has no idea. Last night, I came in from lighting up and I was washing my hands in the bathroom. When I came out, my little brother was there waiting for a big goodnight and when I hugged him he said “You smell like you’ve been smoking.” I just laughed and told him that was silly because I don’t smoke. He smiled and said he knows I don’t. But I do smell like cigarettes. I feel really bad about lying though. I don’t want to, but also the one cigarette I smoke when I have high anxiety is so helpful, you have no idea. And it’s cheaper than struggling to find the right anxiety meds or getting counseling.

I’m scared my parents will find out and flip out at me though….
It’s completely legal, but they don’t like it. (I can understand why though)
