I found that one of the things smoking did for me was to help me stuff my feelings way down deep ,especially anger .It is said that depression is anger turned inward on oneself . I think crying is a very good and healthy release of the feelings one may have from quitting . I felt at first like I had lost a best friend so I grieved and if I held in those feelings rather then talk about them or cry about them then I would end up getting depressed . Don't know if this applies to you or is of any help .
Another way to release the feelings of depression is to exercise . I walked a lot in the early days of my quit and listened to music it really helped me so much ! I have gotten lazy and I must get back to it !
I have had to learn to fingd new ways of coping with my feelings and stress I am now at 867 DOF ! It has been quite a journey and the journey continues !
Coming to this site everyday in the early weeks and months really got me through so many trials. Seeing what some of my quit buddies and elders went through ,one in particular had a very trying year to say the least , inspired me to keep going ! In other words we help each other ! If you do the same and listen to the Elders you will have success too !
You are doing a great Job and it was such a good decision to blog about your feelings of depression .
