When You Quit Smoking Is It Normal To Get Depressed?

I recently quit smoking (stopped cold turkey) and have been depressed for about a week. Is this common when people quit smoking?

I’d be depressed if I had to quit smoking.

I think that is pretty normal.
You trained your brain to see cigarettes as a panacea (a cure-all) for any kind of situation (boredom, stress, sadness, happiness).
Now that you don’t smoke your brain thinks it is missing something. You really need to train your brain again and make it realize how much better everything is without cigarettes. There are so many benefits to quitting smoking, this shouldn’t be all that hard

It happened to me. But that always happens when we force control on ourselves. But hang on a few more days and you will start feeling the opposite!

Yes, so you should constantly remind yourself that it is the nicotine exiting your system and nothing else. It isn’t you. The depression is the bad stuff leaving your body. Well done!
