It feels as if my world has crashed... I didn't go after the apt that I wanted, and now I have to pay the price.... of living in one that has the smell of smoke, not to mention the floor is NASTY... and I don't want to move, I hate that I let someone else make the decision for me, and didn't say, I want that apt, and that's that.... and yet I've been doing this for quite some time aka all my life. I am afraid of change, That's the underlying problem, and I have no idea of what I can do to help me with this, not to mention my mind went in a direction that I don't want it to go to. How do you get the smell out, how can I stop taking suggestions, and just speak my mind...

I don't know of how much help this article by Nina Brown can be, but it does address the issue of developing psychological resistance to others' unreasonable demands:
Too Much Empathy?

If you know anyone who has an aircleaner that makes ozone, that will clean up smoke smell. I have several for cat odors. There are products you can buy at a mega store, hardware, or building store that are industrial strength odor removers that you can spray or use on carpet. It will gradually reduce over time as well. But get some cleaner which will help.
