Open Question: how can i tell my parents i smoke cigarettes?

Open Question: Do electronic cigarettes provide the same feeling as a regular cigarette?

I have been a smoker for approximately 5 years and am very interested in converting to electronic cigarettes for the overall benefit of my health and the fact that I do not enjoy the disgusting smell left behind when I smoke. I am well aware of speculations that "ecigs" may also have health risks but I plan on my smoking of these devices to be temporary until I make the final decision to cut the smoking habit completely. I've done some research on ecigs but I have not come to a clear answer on a particular question that I have. As I am "smoking" an ecig, will i feel the same or similar sensation that I feel when I smoke a regular cigarette? Will these ecigs satisfy my nicotine addiction the way a regular cigarette would? I know the taste and composition would be different based on the fact that I would be inhaling vapor instead of smoke but I'd like to know how satisfying your typical full strength ecig is based on nicotine. Please only answer based on experience, not what you "think" they might feel like. Thanks for reading!

Open Question: Coincidence or not? I'm starting to get paranoid..?

my boyfriend's ex was asking about me a lot as soon as i started going out with him to some of my friends that we're mutual friends with. she talked to me a bit in our health class and she seemed quite nice, friend requested me, and liked a couple funny pictures that friends had posted on my wall. i commented on an unrelated wall post on a mutual friends wall with "HA. HA!" and then a few minutes later stalked her tumblr. literally like two minutes after i posted that she posted a picture with a balloon saying "enjoy your mediocre life!" and she had added a caption going "HA. HA!" i'm not sure if this is a coincidence or not so someone reassure me please thanks x

Open Question: What else can I try to do to find an answer for my health problems? (sorry it's so long)?

Okay, well about 7 months ago i started to not feel well. I noticed that I was very tired all of the time, regardless of how much sleep I got, or how many "power naps" I took during the day. I was also getting a lot of headaches and I got very dizzy whenever I stood up. A couple weeks after this started I noticed that my lymph nodes were swollen. So I went to the doctor, who ran some blood tests and told me that my platelet count was very low. He made me set up another appt about a month later to check it again and it had returned to a normal level, however I still felt the same, so he put me on an antibiotic. I took the antibiotic for the time period it was given for and started to feel better. For about a month and a half I felt completely fine and figured it was just some sort of infection that had run its course through my body. Then this past September I began to feel the same way again. I went back to the dr who said that he couldn't do anything else based on my symptoms. I then went to another doctor who ordered a bunch of tests, including a ct scan, more blood work (including a glucose test), an ultrasound and a sleep study (which just occurred in the past month). Everything came back normal, and i'm just waiting for the results of the sleep study. I have a feeling that it's going to come back fine, and if it does, I just don't know what to do anymore. Out of the 3 doctors I went to, 2 of them have said it's probably either anxiety and/or depression. The only reason I have a hard time believing that, is because when this all first started there wasn't a single problem in my life. I wasn't stresed, I wasn't upset. And I can't see how something like this can just start one day out of the blue. I feel like they can't find anything on the surface so they're jumping to the first conclusion they can, that i'm depressed, anxious, and it's all in my head. If this sleep study comes back normal, I don't know where my next step should be. I don't know if I should just give up and quit, or try to figure anything else out. I feel like everyone i've seen thinks i'm lying or looking for attention, and i'm really not. This has really taken a toll on me with school work and life in general. I'm missing out on so much because I never feel well enough to do things. Is there any advice anyone can give me? Do I continue to search for an answer or do I let go and accept that it's "all in my head"? And if I try to continue, what should my next step be? Thanks so much in advance.
