Am I just moaning?!

[Monica1969]

Hi everyone, I’ve just hit my 3 month mark and as much as I’m really proud of myself, I feel so fed up. In a nutshell

1. Dad passed Feb 18 from lung cancer after being diagnosed Jan 18

2. Gave up smoking 20/05/18

3.Mums dog died July 18

4. Had a car crash July 18 and wrote my car off

5. Currently going through divorce

6. Just come back from a week in Zante and loved it but still feel shit, not sure if it’s due to my withdrawal still, the rest of the above or all of it but I feel such a whinging pain in the arse and getting concerned it’s depression, I really hope not as I feel great some days

Any advice would be ace 😃😃

Hey Monica1969 - these feelings you are experiencing at the 3 month are normal (see pinned post below worth a read if not already done so) but may be heightened with your life curve balls and struggles. It will pass, I promise

Be kind to yourself during this time, take time out and let nothing get in the way of your smoke free journey, it is only short term....

Hi hun, I certainly don’t want to smoke it’s just a fed up feeling, crying etc, I’m not a crier at all

Maybe it is the 3 month thing, it’s nice to chat to like minded people who understand though, thank you x

You got a lot on your plate

I know what it's like to loose your dad

(mine died with fags, drink)

And the dog, I lost my baby, its certainly heartbreaking,

But believe me, you will get stronger you will never get over it but you will be calm and live with it,

We are stronger, I to know deppression. First hubby died at 21,learnt to live and carry on,

You keep posting, have a good old moan. Cry, shout, whatever,

Smoking won't help, we just think it does/"did

Be strong, be brave, be good to yourself

Take care

Thanks Dizzylizzy, it’s amazing what we go through eh? There’s always people worse off though, I should stop feeling sorry for myself.

I was in town with my daughter yesterday and was stopped by a guy raising money for dementia and was selling wristbands, my daughter put it on but removed it when home, then I picked it up and read it, it says ‘ be positive’ ‘be happy’ ‘be you’ I think someone up there is telling me something xx
