So about 5 days ago I decided to finally stop vaping. I was reaching a really good point in my life, going to the gym, new job lined up, a stable relationship. I felt good. So I decided okay, now is the time lets stop hitting the vape. It was fine at first but the first night I started reliving some ptsd and that began my manic episode. The next 3 days I couldn’t leave the house, I had intense anxiety from start of the day till the end. Unable to eat, couldn’t sleep much, I just kept feeling this intense fear that something was wrong, I was going to die, etc. I reached out to my psychiatrist and she recommended me pills to take. Which I did try but it gave me more anxiety because of my ptsd (OD). I guess I’m just writing this to feel heard. Im mentally drained, I’m scared to take meds again, I wish I could go back to last week before I tried to quit and continue on with how everything was. Eventually I’m going to try again though. I want to be healthy and feel good. Any tips on how to calm myself down though? I haven’t matched with a therapist yet on cerebral so I’m open ears to things I can try when it gets too overwhelming. And to anyone reading this I’m proud of you. (: it’s not easy.
