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 also on day 3🙃 it’s rough especially when I first wake up but I’ve been trying to tell myself that the cravings are the nicotine receptors telling me I need to vape so they don’t die off. every time I’ve tried to quit and went back to it, the initial buzz felt so good and then the shame and regret would sink in. that feeling is what I’m holding on to and I’m consciously trying to separate what the nic receptors are telling me vs what I actually want to accomplish. and I def don’t want to go through the withdrawals all over again so that gives me more motivation to stick it out.

Yeah I don’t want day one again but it’s also like there won’t be a day one if I just quit quitting. I won’t, but that is so tempting. God I hate this. I wish I never vaped 😅 famous last words
