I too expierenced what you explained. I was expierencing a little bit here and there for a while. It wasn't until I was past 6 months quit that I got help. Although I had a few different symptoms from you, I was put on anti-depressants. If I hadn't finally got the help I needed, I would have definately walked out on my husband and kids, as well as my quit. I just wanted to be alone, all alone.....
My point being is, depression has many faces. What you are expierencing could be one of them. Only your doctor can help! I truely advise you to make an appt right away, and discuss your feelings with your doctor. Had I listened to everyone telling me that, I could have saved quite a few hysterical, and scarey moments.
All in all, just like everyone said, smoking does mask our feelings. And quitting smoking isn't about just not smoking anymore. It comes with so many other things, and you may just be expeirencing one of them. Discovering new things about yourself, whether good or bad, is quite scarey. You are now a new person, and one you do not reconize..
Take good care of yourself. Writing in a journal can help. Be extra kind and gentle to yourself right now. Put yourself first, and take a little bit of time everyday to find something good in YOU. But first off, go see the doc. At least to rule things out.........
