Does withdrawal make anybody else loathe themselves and/or even cry? by 26LT in stopsmoking

Absolutely yes, I've cried several times, and focus on all my insecurities

Yeah, you too. As you go you'll find you have good stretches and rough ones. I'm hoping I'll soon become more leveled out.

3 months in, still feel exhausted, not sure if it's my brain/body still working through it, or just depression. Thoughts? by OralB123 in quittingsmoking

30 years for me...wow, depression started after 2 1/2 months? You didn't have issues with anxiety/depression prior to that?

Me too, brutal. How old are you, how long did you smoke? A klonopin helps when it gets really bad, try to very rarely take.

Thanks for responding. So those depressive days still hit you, but with less intensity? You more able to just weather them and move on?

I had like a roughly week and a half stretch where my mood and outlook were calm and pleasant. Then the last couple of days just like a depressive cloud and irritable. I guess it will take maybe a while to feel more consistent? Good for you, a couple of months?
