Recently I have read a lot of posts where people talk about chainsmoking and it was kind of shocking because I too have chainsmoked a lot in my life, as a way to deal with the intense emotion, in moments where I felt there was no other way. It kind of surprised me this was something others did. I never teally associated it with bpd but it makes perfect sense.

Overall I have managed to stop this unhealthy mechanism as it iust makes you feel sick and your body feel gross so I hope others also realise this and stop doing it. Having said that I totally get the urge to do it when it feels like theres no other way to cope.
