Don’t worry, anger and frustration are quite normal feelings at the moment but this will pass. Lots of slow deep breathing will calm the situation down👍🏼

Hang in there, you can do it💪🚭✅xx

Hey Juan. Same boat. 12 days on patches and anger and just general angst are biggest issues for me had. Was having bad day yesterday so took dogs on 3 hour walk which helped calm me down. I can only talk from my limited experience, but keeping busy for me is number 1. Good luck buddy
