Well on day 23 and i have felt emotional and down since Sunday. I had my first drink on saturday and went out and never smoked so i was really proud of myself. Was expecting to feel great on Sunday but i never, i cried literally the whole day. Dont know if this is withdrawel symptoms or the fact i have split up with bf about 3 weeks ago (my choice and it is over for me).
Reading all the posts, it would appear this is common, but how long does it last? I felt amazing in the first 2 weeks.
Anyway just went and ordered 5 dresses online which i cant afford but if i smoked i would have spent more money this month so trying not to feel guilty!!

I'm with you on this one. I always read that quitting smoking can bring depression symptoms similar to losing a loved one, but I didn't really believe it until recently. I'm prone to short bouts with depression anyway but this one is different. I'm on day 31 and should be bouncing back pretty soon here, but I am sure it is different for everyone.
Nicotine does remarkably strange things to your brain. You just earned control and your life back, now go do something to experience it. my first thought is going out for ice cream in the middle of winter. Anyway, stay strong, stay positive, it will be much better soon.
Enjoy your dresses and do not feel guilty about buying them you deserve them after quitting and going through a split aswell,you need to treat yourself.Head up hun,time is a real healer x x x
Thanks guys, feel a bit better today. I have been reading month 2 and it appears that month 1 is the worst for depression and feeling emotional so i have confidence this will pass soon
Looking forward to my dresses arriving now which cost the equavalent of less than 2 weeks worth of smoking (£70) so technically i still have change lol !!! unbelievable.
