Day 33: I’m losing it

I have had good days during this quit- but for the most part, I have been an incredibly depressed and despondent individual.

Today...I think was the worst (other than Day 1 & 2) and my question for you all...and I don’t even think you can answer it...but...how long do I ride this out?

Not to pick up again, but this depression and rage and loneliness and general awfulness...how long do I give myself to see if this is just my brain rewriting itself vs. going to the doctor and seeing if I need medication for an underlying mental health situation?

I hate to jump on the pharmaceutical bandwagon if I don’t have to BUT- maybe I have been self-medicating more than I could have been aware of?

Anybody out there go on medication during the first few months of their quit and find it helpful?
