So here I am 3 days away from the triple digit club and instead of being filled with joy about my accomplishment, I'm still adjusting to the new me with out smoking. Specifically speaking, my reactions to life's stresses and my overall well being. I feel more anxious and depressed than the old me. I'm trying to decide if I need depression medication or if this is just the new me dealing with life without those immediate dopamine fixes. I believe I see more clearly now and that I glossed over alot of problems before that now are staring me straight in the face. I too seem to worry more and have more fears, which isn't so good. I still have trouble sleeping through the night so some of it could be from fatigue. I've taken sleeping pills a couple nights and I still wake up early morning feeling restless and anxious. I was hoping it was just my body getting used to life without nicotine, but 90 days have passed and I'm still here.
I appreciate all of your support along this journey. I would not be here (still smober) if it were not for my friends and support this site has offered me. If anyone has gone through something similar or has any advise, I am open. Thank you all for reading and I wish you all a wonderful day!
