OMG! I am so miserable! - Smoking Cessation Message Board

ICC · 09-08-2007, 02:23 PM

It has been 5 weeks today since my husband, my 28 year old daughter and myself were hypnotized for smoking cessation. None of us has cravings, just a thought now and then BUT husband is drinking more and getting on mine and my daughter's nerves, my daughter is picking at everything that has bothered her for years and has been depressed until a few days ago. I , on the other hand I am just miserable. I feel like I don't like anything or anyone around me. I feel like I didn't see any of this while I was smoking. I understand this is normal BUT I am not happy with my life. I think about smoking and then cahnge the thought since now that I know I am very unhappy I also realize that smoking will only cover it. What to do, what to do. I am ready to give up my marriage, home all of it. I am unhappy all the time. Have no interests. This does come to an end doesn't it?????Or is it here to stay as this is actually reality????

hello ICC,
Wow i quit smoking 2 weeks ago and I am having the same problem. I thought it was due to the chantix that i am on but you havent been on that have you? Is this a smoking withdrawl symptom? Either way, I totally know how you feel. I am trying to plan my wedding and now I'm not even sure if I want a wedding. My fiance' has been agrivating me something fierce and i'm about to give my dogs away. I wonder if there is anything we can do to aleviate these feelings. I sincerely hope this is not the way its going to stay. Keep me up to date on how you are doing.

Hi emmku....Maybe it is a withdrawal symptom. I remember one of my other quits aobut 2 months into it I was really depressed. Wasn't mad at everyone as I am now but down in the dumps. Felt like I lost my last and only friend. I sort of feel like that now but on top of it everyone is ******* me off. Don't have any of the anxiety of wanting a cig like I have with prior quits, just annoyed all the time at everyone and everything. Sorry you're going through it too. What a horrible time for it, while planning a wedding. My husband doesn'tthink he does anything wrong but boy oh boy he's annoying the H&^** out of me. LOL I am not on Chantix and with the hypnosis it's sort of like I never smoked. I think alot about lighting up lately and feel as if I won't be so angry with everyone BUT I do know that is not the answer. Just would like to feel better not worse. Going out tonight for the first time since I had shoulder surgery 4 months ago and don't want to go because I don't want to go out with hubby LOL and we're meeting all of his 1st cousins that I do like but all the same don't feel like being social and talking to anyone. Oh Lord, can't wait until the night is over and I'm home in bed. This is something I normally would love to do and I hate the thoguht of it.

hi ICC,
I seem to have run the gamit when it comes to these feelings. I deal with engineers at work and my boss has commented that i seem to be getting really upset lately at the work that i have to review. i told him what was going on but as if he gives a crap. then i come home and the dogs are fighting so i get really ****ed off about that. my fiancee comes home 3.5 hours after me and by that time i am sooo agitated because of the dogs, and work, and having to find something to cook for dinner that any little thing that he says sets me off agian. then we argue and go to bed mad. i hate this. i dont know if i should get off the meds, or even if that would help. he is understandable about it but i dont know how much longer i can take this. i feel like i want to hide in my house for the next 3 months.
well good luck with your outing tonight. have a few drinks to relax and you may be surprised that once you get there you are ok. that happens to me a lot lately. i feel like i dont want to leave the house and then when i get there i am ok.
keep me up to date.

Sounds as if you are mourning the loss of your cigarettes. You are better off without them. This is exactly why I did so well on the Chantix. I had a relatively easy quit and it is almost 6 months quit for me. I am fine! Give it time.
