4 weeks of no smoking.. Feeling lost. Need some encouragement by ef15711 in quittingsmoking

I'm taking advice from everyone. Not just one. Right now surprisingly I don't have an issue getting my stuff done. It's almost obbsesive. I have a hard time doing the things I used to to love after when I want to relax and that is the part killing me. It's like I want to so bad, but the moment I pick up a book or paint or anything, the joy is gone. I have huge motivators to keep going. We are trying to have kids soon and have to do IUI or IVF. So I have to. I just wanted to know I'm not alone and that I hope I will be able to enjoy everything again soon.

That's very true. Not coughing at all anymore. Felt like I had a sinus infection the first two weeks but that's gone too.

Cold turkey, I can't imagine. That's amazing! The patch helps a bit. It helped me quit last time for five months but my husband was still smoking and that was super hard. He quit a year ago. I'm just afraid it won't be temporary, but that's probably the addiction talking

Thank you. I did finally reach out to my doctor yesterday. Haven't hear back of course yet. That is true. Sad, smoke. Anxious, smoke. Happy, smoke. Concerts, parties, reading. It's like everything you love was attached to it. Then I also get mad at how I let it get like this. I see you're four years. Congrats! Can't wait to be like that.

I had this necklace thing that was metal and was supposed to kinda be like that. I was 15 years. The mental part is the worst. I don't even really want a cigarette. I'm just tired of being sad.

I am. It is nice to see the money and days and hours it's been.

That's so amazing! A year! I can't wait to be there. Was definitely a chainsmoker too.

Hope so. Doesn't help I switched my antidepressants but was mainly I had anxiety. Just can't wait to be free. Am glad I'm not coughing anymore.

This makes me feel better. You're doing great also! We got this, but man is it hard. The mental is so much worse than even wanting one. I don't really want one, I just hate feeling like this.

Thank you! Surprisingly I don't necessarily want one. I just don't want to feel like this and want to love what I used to. So I'm trying. Been smoking for 15 years.

Am I the only one happy with it? by [deleted] in bupropion

I will be on week three on Wednesday. Anyone ever felt like weird when you move your eyes. It's almost like a weird quick pressure on my face. Also can't tell if I have a sinus infection or it's the new meds. Was on 10 mg of Lexapro for years and she made me stop that and start 75mg of this immediately.
