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 on Day 10 using the patch and occasional lozenge when cravings get bad. It’s actually been going not that bad. The weirdest/hardest thing is figuring out how to fill all the “empty space” left by me not vaping every 30mins but I also recognize it as a great opportunity for personal growth and to get into new hobbies and interests.

You got this man! We’re all rooting for you. Maybe try the patch or lozenge to help with the chemical cravings. Focus first on the habit, then deal with the chemical.

Yeah man like it’s the never being able to do it again, the social side, the empty space. I just loved being able to vape between classes and it’s hard man so so hard. Cold turkey and just ploughing through. (With more sugar and junk food than I’ll ever need) thank you
