A little down.

Well it was bound to happen at some point. I've been bouncing around on my "happy cloud" for the last five days.

The good news is that I don't want a cigarette :)

I'm just feeling tired and snappy, which I'm not used to. I'm usually a "choose your battles" type, but little things keep getting on my nerves :( *sigh*

And I'm annoying myself by becoming annoyed (you see the vicious circle?)

Like I said, I don't want to smoke. I guess it's all just part of the roller coaster!

It is part of the rollercoaster Sarah Lou! It will pass and you will feel happy again in no time. Just stick with it and be sure in the knowledge that this is temporary! The main thing is you dont want to smoke. That is brilliant!

Aww that's a shame Sarah!!

That does happen, have had enough of those times too and sometimes going to bed is the only option, unless you're too wound up to sleep of course!!

(and there makes it blatently obvious she's single)

But heck, we got moods on when we smoked, so we're going to get them now we don't.

It's great that it's not making you crave though. Am very much the same with the vicious circle, it can make me bloody grumpy. And since I've quit smoking (for ever) sometimes saying " stuff it" (or something) and going to bed is all you can do 'cos it's always better in the morning :)

I hope it lifts for you ASAP hon xxx

Definately :) This is something that I'm pleasantly surprised with.

Had to laugh at myself while brushing my teeth. I swore at the cold tap for being too cold. I think a nice bank holiday weekend is just what I need. And a straight jacket :rolleyes:

Maybe exerting myself by exercising will keep me happy? I think they say that exercise = endorphins. Could give that a go this weekend.

Thanks Haze :) x

Now that sounds very familiar!!

I don't usually go off on one, but since I quit smoking I've had more than my fair share of temper tantrums!!

Maybe exerting myself by exercising will keep me happy? I think they say that exercise = endorphins. Could give that a go this weekend.

It does help, when I ran it made me grin like an idiot 'cos I felt so good and I had a massive crave at work so I went out the back and ran about and it cured it. Actually it made me feel really good :)

Sweet dreams hon, and you'll feel heaps better in the morning!!

Good morning :)

I'm feeling better this morning, thanks guys!

What surprised me last night is how quickly you can be happy, then annoyed. As far as I'm aware I'm nowhere near as tetchy as that normally, so I think my positiveness decided to take a walk later on last night.

I guess, because we're all walking zombies anyway and are trying to deal with situations that would normally result in a cigarette (last night was a minor amount of bickering between myself and my boyfriend), late night tetchiness must be completely normal for a little while.

Anyway, I had a good sleep and sorted myself out. Luckily my positiveness walked back in at around 7am this morning (I think it went and got pissed, to be honest), and I'm pretty much back to normal. :)

Hope everyone has a great day and is looking forward to bank holiday! xxx

Aww I'm glad you're feeling better now hon :)

Knew you would!!

You're right, we *are* learning how to deal with situations where "normally" we'd have lit up without the crutch of having a fag there to deal with it.

It's the brainwashing that we're all trying to undo. :eek:

One thing though, does your positivity have a hangover? :p

Stupid positiveness :mad:

Like you say Gemma we have to get used to what 80% of the population do when faced with stress,they cope with it as best they can--without reaching for a filthy cancer stick.

Am loving the logic behind it:

"Oh this is really pi**ing me off so I'll go inhale 4000 cancer causing chemicals to make it better" :eek::rolleyes::confused:
