Feel a lil down.. I thought I would feel like myself by now but I think the second week of no cigarette was when I felt happy now my mood is just blah ... i just want to feel good .. It feels like I'm in the first week with my mood. Has anyone else felt like this in week 5 ?
Thank you so much as I'm texting this I am crying because I just feel so emotional. I feel a lil angry at times .. Kind of clouded in the brain at times .I'm just all over the place ..
Oh sweetplt I really truly appreciate this so much.. I do feel like I'm in no mans land . I would really like to have people in my corner that I can talk to when I feel like this..
The excitement of your new quit has worn off; your friends and family are probably thinking you should be over it - already! Now comes one of the tougher stretches. Continue to just get through it - one day at a time.
You WILL feel better and more like yourself again - I promise. ACTUALLY, you will feel better than your smoking self! You will have the confidence gained from beating your addiction, AND all that extra money and time from not smoking.
Look forward to it - it IS coming!
Thank you youngatheart for giving me something to look forward to.. For the last couple of days I've just been in a blah mood... I feel a lil angry at times. Kind of clouded in the brain at times and even emotional.. All over the place..
Sure . Not sure it was week five or not , but I remember day 98 was rough then smooth sailing a while ..
then a year anniversary was a trigger for me and then smooth sailing again . I'm just being honest . Quits have ups and downs and our mood has ups and downs , a lot of healing has to be done . You are healing . Sorry it kinda doesn't feel like it today for you but you are doing awesome Zak . Your hard work sure shows here and you will reap the rewards .
My mood is kinda down today too . There is a lot going on for us all . I just want to say I've watched your quit grow , and I'm impressed how well you taking all this in and applying it to work for you , and asking questions , all of it . You are a winner zak . Congrats on 5 weeks .
There sure is a lot going on in the world while we are on our quit journey Maki. Been emotional all day . One min I feel angry the next I'm sad . I just don't know who I am today.. I'm all over the place.. And thank you soooooo much for your encouraging words.. I don't know what I'll do without this group of people who understand where I'm coming from...

Today has been a better day as far as not feeling down but I did had an argument with a coworker which isn't in my character at all..
You DO have people in your corner. You are on the roller coaster of emotions that go along with a quit. It's a journey and not an event and these crazy times are challenging everyone. I remember going through a period of time where I cried all of the time...television ads made me cry, everything made me cry. I blogged about it, jonescarp.aka.dale.Jan_2007 told me that it was okay to cry, I was "watering" my cheeks. He was right, it IS okay to cry.
It is going to get better.

That's how I am .. I cry at everything.. Its craziness.. Lol. I thought I was the only one going through types of emotions dury this quit journey..
You most certainly are NOT the only one. The thing is that we used to stuff our emotions down with nicotine, it was our drug. Once it was withdrawn, all of those feelings started to surface and we were woefully ill equipped to deal with them since we didn't have any practice. It is okay to feel sad, to feel angry, to feel stressed, it is all part of the journey. It WILL get easier and you WILL learn to just FEEL those feelings. Stay close, you are doing great!

Thank you so much for your reassurance ellen I really appreciate you . I thought I was just going crazy..
5 weeks is super Zak1314 ... but, even though it is 5 weeks, you are still early in your journey and the sadness is coming because Nicodemon is trying to make you miss the smokes. When you say NO to Nico, You get stronger and stronger, but it too takes time. Also, you most likely are in NML (No Man’s Land) No Mans Land Days 30 to 130 (approximate) keep working on your journey. You got this...~ Colleen 525 DOF
