Hello

I am new and I am hoping this will help.
I quit smoking and now have increased depression and cannot shake it.
I had a few problems before, the doctors thought it was because of menopause.  But I am starting to think it is not that at all.
I am going to see the doctor on Tuesday to get it checked out.  But until then, this site was suggested.

TODAY IS THE DAY

Thank you for all your support. I just need to build my strength, and resistance. I suppose my confidence as well. You all have given me some good sugestions. I will use them today and see if it helps. I need all I can get right now. The anxiety is the worst.

How to cope

Need help. One of the sugesstions was to post when I had a craving, and wait for 5 responses. I am trying anything I can think of. Maybe I am dwelling on it too much, I don't know. HELP

HELP

I'm again attempting to quit. My husband officially quit on the 23rd. He is doing good, he has not had any since he quit. I on the other hand keep slipping. I am smoking one or two a day and today I have one left. I refuse to buy anymore, but I am scared to death that I will screw it up again and not quit. I want so much to do this, but that little voice inside keeps telling me that I can't do it. I get sooo nervous and have major anxiety over this. I thought the chantix would help but I am not too sure. I keep trying to look beyond the moment, but the moment takes over and I crack. I know that I am not the only one that has had this problem. I smoked for 37 years and it is like giving up something that worked for depression, anxiety, nervousness, boredom, you name it. It substituted for a lot of different things in my life and now I am kicking it to the curb. So now I have to find some other way to cope with all those things. I am trying eat healthy and exercise, my biggest problem is at work. I have not told anyone at work because I have let them down so many times. I want them to notice on their own that I have quit. So you all are my support group. Please help.

Constipation

Try a smoothie in the morning it is: Flax seed meal 2 tablespoons Soy protien powder 1 scoop 1 tablespoon flax oil your favorite fruit ( frozen or fresh) Blend in a blender until smooth It not only solves the constipation but you feel great and it fill you up in the morning.

I AM BEING TESTED!!!!!!!!

DID ANYONE EXPERIENCE TESTING OF YOUR PATIENCE THE FIRST DAY YOU QUIT? I cannot beleive what has gone on today, Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong. I just want to crawl in a corner somewhere. I have walked around the office 15 times and around the building. I have had a chocolate bar, pizza, pretzels, and I have chewed gum until me teeth hurt. I have tried everything but crying and I just can't do that at work. Haven't had a cigarette. Sure sounding good right now, but I know deep down that is not going to change enything.
