Hang on until you're almost at 7 weeks. That's all I can tell you. I've been classed as clinically depressed in the past. And been on the "happy pills" at various points. I refuse to take them any more. I was like you - and my stop smoking counsellor recommended Omega 3 fish oils. Not sure if that's what worked (apparently we get WAY to little fish oils and they have a part to play in depression. I never knew that before) but I moved on from that nasty depressed/6 week phase.
Hang in there. You're doing wonderful and six weeks point can be a nasty one for lots of quitters. You WILL get past it.

Susie,
Thanks for checking in. Aside from the less enthusiastic reaction, happy to hear you have gotten your medication adjustment.
Almost two months... start planning your reward!

Susie -
Just think how great it will feel to say to the doctor "I'm a non-smoker"!!! You're sure to get lots of positive reinforcement!
I want to echo what 4my2girls said - PLEASE don't rule out medication. Depression is a medical illness - chemicals in your brain are off - medication rebalances these serotonin levels. So, there is no need to suffer/tough it out. And, when you're on the right dosage of the right medication, you should not and will not feel drowsy or off in any way. Medication is not the only option - there are herbal remedies, counseling, light therapy, etc. You have to do what's right for you. My point is, remember that there are helpful options available, and medication is one of these.
And last, but certainly not least, Congrats on your impressive stats!

Well been to the doctor. No great reaction to my quit. "Oh Good" said she. We then had a long conversation about new medication for HBP. I explained about my anxiety attacks and mild depression but no reaction. She did change all my medication though and I have to have a blood test in 2 weeks to see if it's working.
Oh well I am not feeling so bad anyway. I keep reminding myself that I have not given up anything. I just stopped feeding myself poison.Soon be 2 months WOW!!!!!
Have a good weekend everyone. We are gearing up for snow in Glasgow. :)

This stupid addiction!!!!! I have previously experienced mild clinical depression and was on anti depressants for about 1 year, so I know the signs. Mornings are just the pits! I feel like a screaming toddler inside. Stupid, I don't think I am craving and yet at the back of my head, there is a voice saying tat I should just give in. I am seeing my doctor on Thursday but I do not want to go back on the happy pills. Equally, I don't want to live a half life. I know that I will start to feel better at some point in the afternoon but this is hell.
I have tried all the breathing, walking, exercising, yoga, water, hard candy, yah di yah di yah!!! It ain't working.
Anyway it's day 41....6 weeks tomorrow. I will keep going until then. I'll do a Scarlett O'Hara....think about it tomorrow. Sorry about the moan everyone :gasp:

Thanks for all the great advice folks. This morning does feel marginally better somehow! Seeing the doctor tomorrow.......really don't know which way to go? The appointment is for a routine check of my current meds. On HBP medication and simvastatin. Doctor doesn't know I am no longer a smoker. Equally, it's likely that I will go all emotional on her.......ahhhhh...............I hate that don't you? Anyway I will let you know how it goes. Hugs to all :confuse:

Day 42.....six weeks!!!! Sorry for all the paddys. Sorry Phil, I have tried to do IM but there never seems to be anyone there. Maybe I am doing something wrong? Yesterday was a scream in so many ways. I am so near the edge. Nerve endings seem to be very sensitive. I swing from total hysteria to the BOO HOOs. Last night was better. We were on hospital visiting. Hubbie's Mum has been in hospital for almost 2 weeks and we go to see her every night. I was fine but hubbie was in screaming mode.
Anyway today I was trying to do some of my secretary work for the bowling club. My smoking neighbour was over giving me a hand. I had to phone her in advance and ask her not to bring ciggies. Well....I would have mugged her for one. She was very good and we both got through an hour or two of work. However at the end of the session, she toddled off for a ciggie leaving me with a sugar free sweet!
Anyway, here I am boring the socks of my family of survivors. No....I won't smoke today. Tomorrow is yet to come. Love you all :confuse:

As I thought, round about 12.30pm, I was feeling better. I suppose it's the getting used to the whole idea of being a non smoker. Letting go!
I feel so guilty annoying everyone with my negative thoughts. Sorry everyone. It's really important for me to let you all know that I do have good times as well as bad. However having a family who totally understand how you feel is wonderful. Such support is beyond price. I have not smoked today. Tomorrow is not here yet. For now I am a non smoker. Thanks again everyone :blush:
