LadyArwen,
Cutting down on the patch asks your body to again readjust to a lower level of nicotine.
Get back to basics: Utilize your coping mechanisms, distractions and rewards to get you through.
Try finding another outlet for your emotions: keep a journal, take a run, remove yourself from the situation, distract yourself, phone a friend, post here... whatever works best for you.
Every step down brings new challenges. You're almost nicotine free, hang in there!
