I wondered that too, what is the point of their saying they have no trouble quitting when you make the point that it's been hell to quit with no end in sight. I'm wondering if there may be some denial there, with the other poster. I am wondering if I'm dying and you said it perfectly. This is like an end of life situation. I don't see an end in sight or any hope of one and I'm just stagnating, sitting on my bed and panicking when I'm not. The symptoms have lessened, changed, increased so many times I have no idea what to expect anymore. I'm trying to get myself to ignore the panic long enough for basic functioning but it is almost impossible.
