@Judi, I don't think you'll find too many people right now, both nonsmokers and smokers, who don't have some form of depression from this pandemic. Factor in the emotion explosion of quitting and it can be hard at times. Most of us are either extra irritable or cry more than normal when we first quit.
My last couple of years also have been brutal. My car was totaled, my bunny died and my mother died and I needed to execute her trust. Then two months after she died I had respiratory failure and am now on oxygen still because I haven't been able to get any pulmonary rehab because of this pandemic. ðŸ˜
So I get it but I guess it was around April or May last year when I just woke up one morning and just decided I didn't want to be in a bad mood anymore. I was sick of it. If this pandemic was going to get me I wasn't going to spend my last year that way.
And the funniest part is that it works! Shit is going to happen and it sucks but maybe we should live like the song says
