Thanks for all of the wise advice. I don't really know what ground rules to set as my parents aren't very strict other than please knock on my door before coming in. I wish I could have some sort of ground rule that my mom wouldn't judge me for having a few beers with my dad or on my own but I also know alcohol and bipolar technically don't mix.
I'm going to be so busy with job hunting and job shadow hunting and grad school and exercise to even have the time or the courage to take a smoking cessation class plus I don't even want my parents to know I smoke. I'm on wellbutrin already which is chantix and it hasn't helped me fully quit but I've gotten from like 12 a day to 3 to 5 a day. I want my pdoc to raise my wellbutrin. I doubt he will because he's a jack*** but I can at least try to convince him.
I'm just going to try to stay positive and active and make it through this but I'm still worried. My anxiety had really been flaring up lately.
