A little anxious, needing support

Hello everyone!

I’ve been on my track for 110 days

lately I’m facing big anxieties and occasionally having shortness of breath.

Does this sound normal? Or just a anxiety related symptom (nicotine withdrawal) ?

*sigh* I’m really scared and lack of motivations

Hello Hayashi, You are doing really well. These symptoms of anxiety and shortness of breath are very common. You have reached the 3 to 4 month level and many members find this period testing. Stay strong it will pass. Try out the breathing exercises in the pinned posts for relaxing and also expanding your lungs. :) xx

I am sure they will. try to forget about them. The more you worry the more anxious you become. I have those symptoms now and again. It doesnt relate to quitting anymore. :) xxx

I remember being very short of breath, thinking I was going to have a heart attack, or a lung problem I think it’s you lungs adjusting, now my lungs are so strong and full of air , I have never coughed once since I stopped, I takes a while, you will feel very sad, I did, it’s like bereavement. Try 9ne of the videos, in YouTube, hypnosis, well sort of do it in bed before you sleep...stay strong
