I have been hit with a huge wave of depression today. I feel safe from smoking as I'm just having mild physical craves but I think I'm grieving over my old nasty best friend. With it I'm feeling angry. It just sort of came out of nowhere.

With not working I have a lack of companionship during the daytime and no car here to get out and do something. No girls to just call and chit chat as they work. I stay busy at home but maybe that's not enough. Hard to tell because I also have bipolar depression and my new psychiatrist has already said we might have to increase my latuda dosage.

I thought It help to come here and share how I am feeling and maybe see if some of you got depressed after quitting. How did you get through it? How long did it take to get through it?

Hoping all of you will have a great Friday!
