Day 4 and really struggling this morning. Tears streaming down my face for nothing, not really crying just that tears will not stop coming.
I am not going to smoke, just want to feel better. Motivation low need to kick myself to get going. Sucking hard on a lozenge and have a patch on but can't get rid of the feeling.
Tears stopped at moment as I post this must be good to be voicing how you feel.
Hope you all have a good day xxxxxx

I felt exactly the same a couple of days ago, angry, grumpy, teary, the works *but* it passes - posting on here really helps like you found!!
I can recommend if you're into (legal :p) herbal stuff rhodiola liquid too, it tastes rancid, but it really does calm you down *and* the best bit for ex-smokers like us is that it activates the same brain receptors as smoking - some people use it as a quit aid actually.
It's about £12 on Amazon, or probably available in health shops
Bless you Gilly, perhaps you could let go and have a real sobbing session, crying releases endorphins which may be why you're "leaking" as the brain realises this and is trying to get a fix of feel good, rescue remedy is also helpful, I always have some in my bag.
Awww Gilly im sorry Its horrible I know, I remember being an emotional wreck....but I do recommend what others have said, and that's a good old fashioned cry session!!
It will pass Gilly, and I know you probably wont see that just yet, but it will pass and it will get easier too Hang on in there Gilly, and keep us posted here too :)
Come on Gilly, you've done the hardest first three days and there's only one way to make sure you don't have to do them again....dig deep and keep posting
