No smokes in 6 days and very depressed

2 Recommendations

I have read a few posts on here about being depressed after quitting but not many follow ups. Not sure if those people maybe returned to smoking. I quit because my mom has small cell lung cancer and everyone thinks I should quit. I know I should quit too but I really did not want to. I am so depressed now I don't enjoy anything. I have been crying so hard that I am almost in a panic. I am on the patch and also zyban. I really hate this!! It feels as though I have lost my 20 best friends. Then I think about my mom and all she is going through and think I am so selfish. If she can quit this shouldn't be so hard for me. Will this ever go away? Sometimes I just want to give up and go buy a pack but then everything I have gone through was all in vain. There is so much stress in my life right now I really want to smoke and it will all be okay.
