Took my last hit from my vape before I threw it off a cliff, literally. I’m so done with beating up my lungs and body for something that doesn’t even get me high. Just elevates my anxiety, restricts my blood flow and beats tf out of my lungs and back. I’ve been in some pain lately strictly from the vape. My ribs feel inflamed and so does my back and my lungs and it’s such a shit feeling that after 7 years of vaping I’ve finally decided to quit.

It’s going to be super hard but that’s what’s going to make it worth it. Losing hair and being in constant fear of my lung collapsing is not fun. Having to constantly suck on that stupid robot d is not fun and does nothing for me anymore. It’s become more like a bad habit. I’m only 23 but I feeling I’ve been chain smoking for 50 years straight.

Time to get real.

I (23f) got the flu I believe while at work this past Friday (age care worker) from one of my customers who unfortunately was not honest. It seems to be a light weight flu in the sense that I had a blocked nose for 2 days and very slight cough before it got better. However, I experienced such horrible muscle aches and a lot of what I believe is phlegm and mucus in my chest and lungs. My throat feels weird in the sense that it feels hollow??? I’ve also been getting random sharp pain in my back and left breast. Every doctor I’ve been to from yesterday till today (3 in total) has brushed it aside. I’ve come back negative for COVID/influenza and have been told it’s just your average flu.
