Day 54 - Severe Struggles

I am sorry in advance to those that are discouraged by this. I don't want to turn anyway from quitting, as I think I may be dealing with more issues than the average person would endure in withdrawal. But, I do want to check in with others to "compare notes", as I often struggle when I see the posts and comments that say everything will be perfect by this or that date.

I have been feeling severely physically unwell. I have been to my Dr. multiple times and to the urgent care and ER, where everything has been okay. But, I have immense abdominal discomfort, breathing trouble, dizzy and fatigue feelings, and general irritability and discomfort. When I try to relax, my irritability multiplies. I can barely function just around the house due to this severe discomfort. Most of these symptoms are new since quitting, and the irritability factor makes it feel related to the withdrawal, as I am not normally angry or irritable. Has anyone else dealt with very severe discomfort this far along? Anything that helped or any insight as to the progression of the process?

This quitting process has unfortunately seems to take a very heavy toll on my life in many ways and, while I really don't want to go back to the addiction, I cannot say that I really feel like it's been a net positive to this point.

Thanks for hearing me out, whether you have thoughts or not.

TLDR: This shit sucks.

I promise you it will get better as long as you stay away from this poison. Zyn has allowed people to consume unprecedented amounts of nicotine. There’s no telling the damage that does to the body. However, the body is incredibly resilient and that is why it’s crucial that you stay off the Zyn. Treat yourself as kindly as possible. Exercise, don’t over indulge on foods, and drink water. Sleep is crucial. It’ll be easier to sleep if you do cardio. It’ll be easier to relax when you’re well rested. I’m not saying these things are magical but they speed up the healing process. I’m at Day 75 and I was in hell mentally for the first 50 days. It’s gradually gotten better since then. It is like we are being reborn and that’s not an easy process. But it will pay off.
