Deb, its Saturday morning in Columbus. Just wanted to check to see how the last couple days went. Work got crazy in NYC the last couple days. I feel so "out of touch" for being away for 2 days!!!!! Now I've heard of people having "cold feet", but usually it isn't because they socks were frozen! LOL!!! Glad to hear you are having fun while getting through all of this! P.S. The pansies I planted last weekend are starting to perk up! Lots of rain here this past week. I head out to San Jose Monday for the week. I'm anxious to see California gardens and plants! I always try to get ideas for my gardens, come up with a wonderful plan, then realize that palm trees and birds of paradise won't last in Ohio!

But I did find a hearty hibiscus!

Deb, This was a good post..I can relate. Boy did I cry it was hard and loud..TG no one was there to be witness of such behavior..I was told and it made sense at the time.. We said goodbye to a friend(a killer) our best friend..Think about it?The nasty things were with us everywhere,anytime,all the time and now they are gone..Separation is the worst feeling,but is does get better..So let the tears work for you,your going through the grieving period. Hope this helped..

Hi,

I think I'm starting to pull out of whatever that was. It does have a sticky residue to it though so I can still feel it.

I also found a pair of my son's socks in the freezer this morning. And I also went into a blind panic because I couldn't find my patches..... finally found them on top of the car when I was leaving for work. I guess I had carried them down there, thought I had left them in the house, went back and well-- forgot why I had come back into the house...... That was a 1/2 hour I'll never get back.

KELLY!!!! It cheered me right up just to see you! I'm glad you are still around and doing so well. I'm taking 5HTP and it does help. And thanks CT-- I am clearly unbalanced :) Doesn't everyone keep their 5 year-old's socks in the freezer? Marivi, my IQ seems to be dropping by the second, and yes, it is depressing. I'm not used to being stone-cold stupid. And thank you for your virtual hand Karren..... if you ever see me walking repeatedly into a wall, could you just turn me a tiny bit so I can get back on my way?

So, yes.... a little better but still feeling numb from the neck up.

I had a guy graduate from group today. That's always a big deal. He showed up in an Elvis Presley get-up and sang Jail House Rock for his departing ceremony (he brought the background music and everything). How can that not cheer someone up?

My fellow quitters.... much love to you. Even though you are all over this world, it felt like you were all here. Pity party at Debs! Drinks to follow! :) Maybe we can even talk Kaiser into a spin around the block on that new reward of his.

hugs

Hey Deb,

Great to see you are better.

I know what that is... my first month was terrible, I was emotionally a wreck...with no emotional control... I would go to my bedroom to cry alone and away from the kids. there was no reason for that and I knew it was just a chemical unbalance due to the lack of nicotine and the other thousand of poisons.

Every tear is worth it.... continue strong and stay smokeless.

Hi Deb

I'm glad you are feeling better today! This quitting process is a rollercoaster ride!

The good thing is that we know it, so we are not taken off guard. I have a latin temper so I'm really used to show my emotions. But I haven't experienced depression before. It is heartbreaking!Of course I have been sad a lot of times in my life,mainly when I had lost someone I love, but depression is another thing.

My heart goes to everyone who experiences it everyday.

The inability to concentrate or perform complicated mental tasks was annoying for me too. I'm not bragging but I have always been labeled as an inteligent person. But the first month of my quit I felt that I was losing half of my IQ with the

quit!

I joked about it!I teach a Finance class at college, and Thank God that I decided I wanted a break this term!

But the IQ is coming back slowly, and the depression has disappeared. Of course I cry; of course I yell and laugh, but I'm not depressed! I'm really happy most of the time. I'm blessed in life. God has given me more than I deserve!

So Deb, I know it gets better!

Hugs

Marivi

I still do that on occassion. Start crying over some piddilly, insignificant incident, when the real reason is anger, tired, frustration and an accumulation of bottled-up emotions.

I consider these 'cleansing cries'. I always feel a bit depleted and down afterward, but somehow stronger.(

Hope today was better for you. XOXOXO

I hope you had a better day at work today and it has helped your mood. If not snuggle up with a good book or rented movie, pop some popcorn and have a "me" evening. You deserve it. This slump will pass I promise. I know that during the slump those words don't mean much. But try to stay positive. Focus on the good things that happened today. Stay strong!

Deb,

I cried so much, I didn't know what to do. It would hit me at odd times, and it was a deep sadness, those tears just rolled!! I always felt a little better afterwards. Unfortunaltly, mine didn't go away on its own. I needed to take meds for about three months to help me along, and then I got better on my own. You are going to make it, but I know how hard it is to deal with that pain. Its a very helpless feeling. It will go away, with or without drugs. I promise. Try taking some 5 HTP, or St. Johns Wart, it did seem to help me some. If you search the Web, it will also tell you that being low on Vitamin D will cause some of these issues...(every site has a different opinion). Do whatever you can to help yourself. Don't let anything that can be helped get in your way. Pamper yourself, get good sleep and eat and drink as best as you can.

We are here with you.

Kelly
