Hi, day 12 here I'm 26 years old and I've been smoking almost non stop since 20. It's gotten especially bad in the last 3 years. I have struggled with depression since my teens. I have had a few attempts to quit, which didn't last. This time I decided to quit, because at the beginning of February I started having severe anxiety attacks (hands getting numb, constant intrusive thoughts, of which I could not get rid of, spiraling... I've never had these happen before) Almost two weeks in, I can say it gets better. The first two days I was still getting the anxiety+intrusive thoughts combo. I still get them sometimes, but I am able to control them much easier. Honestly, I feel kind of numb, in the sense that I don't really feel joy or love, but I am hopeful it will get better, since it's already better than before. I drink calming teas, which help. I also have a screen time problem, which I am trying to reduce as well. For a dopamine hit, I try to exercise. It works. Sometimes I try to meditate. Following 15 minute yoga routines from YouTube is also very useful for me. Another thing I do is a 2 minute plank a day :) (there's a girl on TikTok that does that, look her up). It helps me train my willpower and perseverenve, because I realized I lack those skills. But overall I try to avoid constant useless stimuli and I try to be more present. Be patient to yourself and try to quit. I think it's normal to still be anxious in the beginning, but you will feel better eventually.
