Hi Princess,
Absolutely nothing is wrong with you. All of us experience our quits quite differently. Some people seem to get through easier than others. It took about a year before I started feeling human again. I had all kinds of physical problems, 5 lung infections, biopsies, periodontal problems including teeth grinding, extreme crankiness, gained weight, and like John all hell broke loose. Cigarette withdrawls are a beast, and the only thing you do is not smoke, no matter what happens, don't smoke. I used to take a lot of showers to calm down, I cried, I ate, I bounced on my mini trampoline, I walked...anything but smoked. It's a tough fight and I know it sounds cliche, but hang in there and be tough. Whatever you go through now is truly worth it. And you'll find that every time you fight the urge and don't smoke, you get stronger.
John, my husband and I quit together, and it's difficult, but it will get better. We knew it would be tough some days, so we made a pact to not get in each others way. He played a lot of video games and I had a long list of coping strategies, which did not include my husband. Our marriage isn't perfect, we can still get on each others nerves, but we made it and we're better off for it.
Both of you take care and stick to this site!
Jennifer :)
