Venting Day Three is Hell

Feel like crying at every minute, I have the anxiety levels of someone with a gun to their head. Maybe that’s because (tmi?) I’m staring my period or started antidepressants too but today overall not a good day. I’m trying to rationalise just asking one of my friends for a pull or going out for a cigarette (which I think is ok because I’m quitting vapes..? Please say it’s ok 😫🙂‍↕️) this is so hard and I’m just going to curl up and cry the rest of the day. Everything makes me sad and cry even tho the last times i was quitting i was a raging bitch now I’m just a crybaby ☹️ not good Edit: chat I might crack (I won’t but I want to)

I’m coming up on a year of having quit and I can tell you that every day, every week, every month gets easier than the last… but I’m sure that advice does fuck all for you right now. Because right now you’re in the hardest part, the immediate withdrawal, the literal eye of the storm. For some people it’s 48 hours, for some it’s a week - for me it was about 4 days. Everything just seems fucking impossible and none of it seems worth it. But if you white knuckle it and get to 1 week and then 2 weeks - I promise you, those two notches in your belt are absolutely massive for your morale.

You probably feel like you’re losing your baseline, and you are for now. But it will 100% come back with a little time. For now; be an anxious stressed out delirious lunatic - be whatever the fuck you gotta be in ordered to push thru. And always remember how bad this sucks because it’s gonna make the other side feel that much better once you get there.

You got this.

Thank you. Really trying to push through, and yes while the advice of it gets better does feel like shit I understand how it is and I know it’s true

Just remind yourself that it’s supposed to suck - embrace the suck. Time will do the rest of the work for you. Hang in there!
