Great to see you … Congratulations on your great Quit Hope you stick around … our Newbies can always use more support

Never heard that mantra before but it is so very true. Thanks for sharing it.

NOPE!

Yes, depression and sadness can definitely be one of the symptoms of quitting smoking. In the beginning of my quit I had this sense of doom because I felt like I lost my best friend. Please don't go back to smoking, the depressed feeling and all the other withdrawal symptoms will go away, they really will! Hang in there!!

Thanks for this great message today!

Sorry you are going through a tough stretch. Feelings of loss, longing and even despair can be part of withdrawal for us smokers. We have all kinds of transient feelings. It takes a while for our brain chemistry to adjust after our dopamine receptors were pickled by nicotine. Sad feelings do ease with time…. if you keep your quit! Talk with your doctor if it gets bad, but give your brain a chance to rebalance itself. It’s worth it. You’re worth it.

Hello @TOMMY S... feeling depressed temporarily is absolutely a side effect of smoking but I know from personal experience that this will not last. Mood swings early on in a quit are very normal. Your brain is ajusting to functioning without nicotine. If you give it some time, you will start to feel normal again. I think consulting with a Doctor is a good idea before you make any firm decisions about returning to smoking. Please stay close to us and let us know how you are doing. You can keep your quit!
