Struggling with anxiety while quitting vaping

Hey everyone,

I’m really struggling right now and could use some advice. I recently decided to give up vaping, it was a huge contributor to my anxiety, but the withdrawal has been intense. I’m using Nicorette mints to help, but even with that, the anxiety feels almost impossible to manage sometimes.

On top of that, I’m going through trauma therapy at the moment, which is bringing up a lot of emotions. And, like clockwork, this time of year is always really hard for me. It feels like all of it is hitting at once, and I just can’t seem to catch a break.

I know I can’t go back to vaping because it genuinely made my anxiety worse, but I’m desperate for anything that can help take the edge off. Has anyone been through something similar? Any coping strategies, tricks, or just ways to survive the day-to-day that you’ve found useful?

Thank you
