Day 13 and feeling awful

[nsd_user663_1804]

Hi all

Well day 13 now and I feel awful.

Last night I felt a bit strange so had an early night. Today I feel light headed, really down in the dumps and feel like crying.

I don't want a cig but this is a horrible feeling.

Any tips on how to get through this?

Thanks

Richard

Richard, it's not really that unusual and sounds similar to a lot of the symptoms that others have had: nosmokingday.org.uk/forum/s...

I don't know what you are doing to take your mind off things, but I think it's important to do something rather than nothing. Difficult when you aren't feeling great I know, but going for a walk/exercise and eating something healthy will give your body a 'jolt' and help it cope.

You are in the middle of the critical 4 week period so it's no surprise that things might be feeling tough. Spend some of that cash you've saved on treating yourself and cheering yourself up!

Keep going!

It's horrible, It's like waking up and feeling the bereavement for the one thing that you used to love.

It's like the novelty has worn off, now your just left feeling empty and low.

It won't last long x x just deal with it in the same way you dealt with craves,

Keep busy etc

Read through Rons posts, he really struggled with the depressed side of things, there are many others on this board too.

soon, you will wake up one morning and you'll realise you haven't really woken up in years!
