Beckylynn:
I am doing great today.  I understand what you are saying.  With each person the quit is different.  If your depression is mainly in the morning, try to change up your day. 
Know that there are a lot of friends here pulling for you.  post and let your feelings out some times that helps.  I know that sometimes I just need someone to listen to my thoughts.
I hope that your day gets better.  I will keep looking for your posts to see if I can help.

Beckylynn:
I am here for you.  Take a walk and think of the good things in your life. Give yourself an early reward something that you would really like.
keep posting and do a search on depression and read some of the responces.  Any one else out there got any suggestions?

Hi Beckylynn.. Depression seems to come with quitting.  Feeling down, sad etc.  I have found, as
many have, is to keep busy with fun things and to also replace those sad thoughts with pleasurable
ones.  Do your deep breathing exercises ... BREATHE IN.... BREATHE OUT... and so on.  Also
going out for walks as often as possible to clear the cob webs in your mind, while reminding 
yourself that you are doing a great job with your quit ! 
 
Keep coming here to post your feelings and read lots of previous posts on depression.  They
are very insightful !
 
You are doing so well Beckylynn.. You should feel very proud of yourself !  8 days smoke free is
WONDERFUL
 
We're all in this together...  Sending you lots of (((((((((((hugs)))))))))))) of support !!!!
 
Peace
