Really bad...

[nsd_user663_2681]

Today is a bad day, a really bad day, the worst day since I quit in fact...and it's only 9:30...

Burst into tears this morning and shouted at my kids, my son because he can't find stuff he needs for school and my daughter for oversleeping and missing her bus to 6th form....I wish I could go to the Maldives or somewhere equally as peaceful and beautiful, on my own for the next few months until I'm off nicotine and feel better....

Still waiting for this burst of energy too.... All I want to do is sit on my ever expanding bum, watching tv or reading....today sucks...big time...

I have not only made myself feel worse but my kids and husband are in a bad mood too and I've ruined their day aswell.....just want to curl up in bed and not speak to anyone....

Donna, I think you've subconsciously convinced yourself that this particular period is going to be hell and therefore impossible to get through. It is the kid's job to wind you up, I bet you used to get just as wound up before you quit - my mum has never smoked but I was always able to make steam come out of her ears! This time of year always leaves me totally deflated, I too just want to lounge around on my cushion of a backside and watch it grow whilst doing nowt, give it a couple of weeks when spring hits and the days start getting longer and I'll bet you start to feel better. Sometimes we need to give in to our feelings, try not to feel too bad about shouting at your kids and hubby, I bet they've forgotten about it already - instead indulge yourself, have a nice hot bath whilst listening to some really cool tunes. Be kind to yourself and make the most of your "me" time. xxx

Donna

I'm a couple of days ahead of you in the quitting game and yes I hit a brick wall about 3 days ago as well, I just couldn't be bothered doing anything as I was so irritable and lacking in energy.

Today dawned far brighter for me, not all the joys of spring but definitely an improvement.

Hope tomorrow brings the same glimmer of sunshine for you.

Hi Donna

Keep going and don't look back, not for a second. You are doing so well with this quit and I KNOW you are going to pull through today. Spring is just around the corner and so are you....having broke through your darkest days and released yourself from the smoking devil. Hugs

Hope you're feeling better now Donna, I do remember I was incredibly lethargic for a while when I quit....can't remember when the extra energy kicked in but it did You're doing great, don't look back and like others have said, when spring springs, the clouds will lift for sure
