My illness also then led to other dark tunnels, and depression has swallowed me whole again. Part of my illness I feel is self-inflicted due to my smoking which I had been doing for 3 months solid. I had fallen into my addictions again......and now I am paying dearly. This is what death must feel like...unable to breathe....no energy, listlessness.

It can feel like death. It’s not forever though, just remember that. You can’t beat yourself up over succumbing to addiction again . You’ve stopped before, you can do it again. You’ve been here before, and came out alive, you can do it again. Stress, anxiety, and depression are purely internal forces. If you feel like you can’t control those forces, then just leave them behind. Get out of your head. Don’t give your thoughts the company to effect you. That’s the only place they exist. Do what you have to to focus on something else, even if it’s only for a few moments. That’s a few moments your thoughts don’t control you. Just keep reminding yourself that it’s not permanent. This to shall pass.
