That is something I can relate to! Had to quit smoking and gave up smoking weed about four months ago. I was an every day smoker and now I'm sober af, it took some getting used to but I feel much happier now with that monkey off my back.
Gratz!

I'll be able to give you a better answer in the future but I THINK CBT is more changing negative thought patterns so they don't lead to negative behavior. I think this approach is complete horse shit. And DBT is more practical in the moment acceptance and dealing with situations? I mostly know I vastly prefer DBT having gone through a lot of useless CBT therapy. The DBT tools I've used on my own have been way more useful, and I'd like to try a therapist who uses that modality.
DBT was designed for Borderline Personality Disorder and is actually useful for treating it. If it can help those people deal with their emotional extremes, I figure it's a good way for anyone to learn how to regulate their emotions.

I'm definitely interested in DBT. Maybe someone has a good book recommendation; I love self-help books!!

Thank you! You've got like half a month on me. Congratulations! Keep it up. It was bad for an entire 3 months and I just felt useless that whole time. Starting to feel better psychologically and I need to right now because this semester is hard AF. Women and your anatomy. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] |

Keep me posted on what works for you. I'm experiencing the same more or less. Congrats on getting past it! I think the biggest thing is cultivating a habit. 1 hour of studying every day minimum (advice given to me from a nursing leadership student who was about to graduate) should be doable and help make studying less of an ordeal to get started.

Yeahhh the hard part for me is getting started. I'm the absolute worst procrastinator. So the focusmate is my plan for that, and it seems to be working. You probably already have your study style down, but in case it's helpful for anyone:
I use this app called Anki where you basically make your own flashcards. Can sync it with your phone too so you've always got your study stuff ready to go. Whenever I end up in those awkward RL situations where you pull your phone out to avoid interacting with people you can study. I use it constantly. Trying not to dox myself, but here's what it looks like as I prepare my study materials:
