I stopped smoking last Friday. Prior to this, I was a fairly happy person with a moderate amount of anxiety.

After I stopped, my whole world flipped upside down. I am dealing with continuous panic attacks and anxiety all day long. There isn’t any relief. I haven’t eaten a full meal since last Friday.

I had to go to urgent care last night to get something to calm me down, and while it did work until about 9 am today, I’m right back where I started.

I know some anxiety is to be expected when quitting, but this is another level. It’s debilitating. I can’t focus on anything other than how anxious I am and all the things that could go wrong with me life.

I have an appointment with a doctor tomorrow to explain my situation. Please help me though, because I’m so scared that I won’t be able to get back to normal. Assuming I find the right medication and therapy, is it possible to resolve a lot of this? I can’t stand the thought of living my life with in this much agony and I may just pick smoking back up if that’s the case.
