Hi Serenity,
Quitting is a complicated business, isn't it? I'm sure these issues that are making you angry, would have made you angry as a smoker, too, wouldn't they? They certainly sound like things which would bother me, too... Perhaps the extent of your anger is worrying you, since the reactions you're having may be magnified since you are still adjusting to your new, smoke-free life.
I can say that I still feel myself blowing a fuse quite quickly, quicker than I would have done as a smoker, even now 200+ days on. But, it is not as dramatic as it was around the 100 day mark, as you are. So, you will feel much better as time goes by, I assure you.
We used to smoke when things upset us, didn't we? We would put these chemicals, stimulants, in to our bodies, which would boost our mood, or cloud over the reality of what was upsetting us - temporarily, that is. We would still have to deal with the causes of these things, in reality, smoking or not smoking has not changed other people's behaviour around us.
Anyway - my point is....(getting there slowly!!)
We need to re-adjust, we need to allow time for our bodies and minds to re-adjust to the fact that we're not pumping stimulants into ourselves whenever we feel upset. I think this adjustment will happen naturally, over time, but we need to give this time for us to get used to not having the nicotine/stimulant/quick fix.
In the meantime, try not to allow your mind to dwell on the negative. I know this is near impossible sometimes, but try your best for now to keep your mind happy. It's only for the short term.
My best wishes to you,
Deli
