Desperate to stop... mental turmoil

I'm desperate to stop smoking. Can't stand the thought of smoking another day. I have stop smoking aids, however I fear the dark mood that will come over me when I wake up and think I can't have another cigarette. I suffer with depression and anxiety. I'm a single mum of ds2, I hate that he is subjected to passive smoking, we r together 24/7 so not possible to smoke away from him, although I try by mostly when we are out and about and out the window I know this is terrible and why I want and need to stop. I'm scared of my mood and don't want my son being subjected to a deterioration in my mental health. I'm really upset about all this. I've tried hypnotherapist's, stop smoking aids. I don't want to smoke 1 more day, but at the same time really upset about the thought of stopping. I think that any form of stress just adds to my deppression, makes me more irritable and less patient, probably not a very nice mother. Idealy i'd love to try and stop from tomorrow; but dont really have a plan or any support in doing so. Please help. Thoughts, suggestions. Thanks

I can totally relate to what you are saying. I go through this mental turmoil daily. Absolutely desperate to stop smoking but then dread the withdrawal process. I try to justify why i want to continue to smoke. I keep telling myself that I don't go out, I don't drink, I don't do anything other than look after my children, husband and home.
Today I finished my last cigarette at 2pm. I have an ecig which i have been usinh since then.
I am finding it really really tough. I am desperate to go and buy.
It doesn't help that I am also dieting!

I stopped 5 years ago using an ecig - it was easy. Really easy. Still get nicotine - but it tastes nice, smells good, is much cheaper and healthier. I didn't feel like I was losing anything. No turmoil involved.
