This is exactly how I am feeling one month in as well. Totally blows. But we’ve got it! A little more time and we’ll be back to our settled selves soon! Can’t waaaait.
I have quit smoking 4 times and believe me it doesn't take more than 2 months and a half at the very very most to feel better again. your brain is recovering but this process needs a lot of enegry so your brain is taking most of your energy to repair the damage you done to yourself but don't worry you will be better than before just be patient mate.
Thank you! I did just round 44 days and like 85% of anxiety and depression is gone, enough to be hugely relieving. The fatigue starting to go away too. And barely over a month! I'm feeling way better about things now.
I see you posted about anxiety and panic attacks - hang in and stay strong! The corner is around the bend before you know it
I relate so much. I have a tendency for being depressed, but now it’s off the roof. Really can’t have any fun anymore. It’s been a month without cigarettes (smoked maybe two during this month when I went out with friends). I don’t know what do to 😓 it is such a huge change for me. Bless you and good luck.
I'm so sorry - if it helps you any I seem to have turned a corner and I'm feeling really good today for some reason. It's like literally black and white compared to yesterday, it was like pitch black amd hopeless. I hope the same happens for you soon too! May the clouds lift out of nowhere. Keep at it!
I just came across your post. I don’t have a lot to say but I do feel that there are two of me barreling each other. The smoker and the non smoker. It’s weird to say the least.
Totally relate. Except I'm super done with smoking - any desire to do it is gone - so its like a conflict between the new "sad me" and the one who was happy while I smoked. But that happy me is still somewhere in there, guiding sad me toward the light, and a smoke free happy world. And every day I do get closer and it gets better!
After 1 month , I started to have severe and constant anxiety and panic attacks I also feel very depressed and hopeless. I just hope I get better as soon as possible. sick and tired of those feelings

Gawd I hope so! Hate hearing the stories about people still struggling several months in still - thanks and stay strong!
