Do you ever get that feeling where your chest tightens, your breathing quickens and you can feel tears welling up behind your eye balls… and you have no idea why?
Please God someone tell me that it isn’t just me.
Normally I’m a “roll with the punches” kind of girl. I mean, I’m not laid back by any stretch of the imagination - but on any given day I can get as good as I give. Usually when people give me shit, I laugh and come up with funny little ways to make them cry.
But not today. Today I am in one of those moods where fucking with me is not funny. Today I am in one of those moods where I just want to say “stop!! it is no longer FUN to be the butt of everyone’s fucking jokes… mmmm’kay!?!”
Today I do not want to have every single one of my faults pointed at. I will not laugh with you. And today, it feels like that’s all I ever hear.
I know, in my head, that that is not rational - or even real. But none of that is doing anything to appease this hypersensitivity.
And I KNOW I don’t have PMS yet. I did quit smoking five days ago - but it seems like that would have kicked in earlier, wouldn’t it?
Jeez, my birthday is in two days. I hope to God I’m not still feeling like this then.

YOU quit smoking? Well that my dear explains it all. It will cause very vicious mood swings, and it normally doesn’t start until 72 hours after quitting or longer because it takes 7 days to completely rid your body of nicotine.
Besides you’ve smoked for awhile and you are mourning the loss of a dear friend that was everywhere with you. It gets better!:wink:

Would it cheer you up any if I revealed that I once audioblogged me singing a showtune?

I like funny little ways of making people cry too.

Just use your hidden uber-ninja skills to get back at them.

i don’t like to be the one to say it, but I know with me personally I was in a better mood the first few days after quitting smoking than I was even weeks later. it’s like when the motivation was at its high, I was good, but after that, I turned into a raving bitch. and started smoking again.
don’t be like me!

Nope, I hear ya.
Husband and I tease each other all of the time, and sometimes we’re just downright rude. Other people wouldn’t get it, but we do, so it’s okay.
Some days? NOT okay. I want to choke him.
Don’t you just love being female babe?

Smoking cessation is proven to cause or aggravate depression. Anyone who takes anti-depressants almost always need to have their meds adjusted when they quit.
I read a 10 page article on the whole thing in Psychology Today a couple of years back. If you really start feeling even worse, go see someone, ok? Really. Don’t put yourself in a serious bad spot.
