I quit smoking 27 days ago i feel depressed why? -
Because of the lack of endorphins. See, when you smoke there is a rash of endorphin production due to the pleasure of smoking, even though the endorphins go away fast after you finish the cigarette, that-s why you want to smoke the next one right away to experience the same sensation (plus adding the effects of the nicotine addiction of course). Now you don-t smoke so you don-t have that instant rash of endorphin production that is why you feel depressed, and that is why it is recommended to start exercising immediately so you can start producing those long lasting endorphines that are going to make you happy again.
Also you can request Welbutrin from your doctor to help you cope with the depression for a while.
You-re welcome

Suck on hard candy. Hang in there, you are almost at the magic 30 day mark that means you have officially broken a habit.
Find a healthy alternative to the smoking, remember it was a habit to calm you right? So, do meditation, deep breathing, mental exercises to get your mind off of it, etc.
nicotene is a central nervous system stimulant, you no longer have that stimulant in your system. you probably weren-t aware of the little uplift or jolt you got from smoking at all,...well now it will take time to adjust, eventually the feeling should subside. perhaps a bit of caffiene may take the edge off, drink some coffee or tea,...not as harmful and easier to walk away from.
Probably the nicotine is out of your system and you need something to replace the routine connected with smoking.Try hard candy, sugar free kind and see if that helps you psychologically.Most likely it will.
You still have nicotine in your body and that-s what addicts people to smoking. It should get easier as the days progress but try blowing bubbles rapidly and that should get your mind off deeling depressed. If not out of breath.
You-ve done yourself a giant favour, feel good about that, if nothing else.
