You?: I can guess you would not ask if you or somene you know has indeed experianced this feeling. Qutting smoking is not easy. See a doctor to dicuss these symptoms, medication may be helpful, or therapy.Drugs including nicotine regulate mood, this is why people use them, thus stopping them will cause mood changes. With time, and assistance if needed, mood can stabilize.
