A couple weeks back I came down with a cold and reduced my vaping so I wouldn't progress it to pneumonia, and this past Sunday I stopped entirely to try and help my cough get better but unknowingly threw myself into withdrawal. I didn't realize that until Tuesday and by then the anxiety was so bad that I couldn't power through and just drop it, but this is my first time going through this and I had another anxiety attack today, despite resuming nicotine intake. I saw online that yeah it takes a couple weeks to get through the withdrawal but I want to know if those symptoms are supposed to continue after taking back up?

If so, could I have made things worse by taking back up so soon after stopping? I'm trying to fight through this anxiety but I keep putting myself in a loop that this isn't the withdrawal and something is actually wrong. I guess I mostly just want reassurance from people who know the symptoms or might have done exactly what I did. I want to quit soon because I have someone to live for but stressors keep popping up that just keep telling me to do it later.
