Day 5 Desmoxan

Hi,
Stopped vaping nicotine yesterday earlier in the day on my day 4. My ripple came in the mail and I wanted to rip the bandaid off.
I had decreased from 5% nic vape to an under 1% in a matter of weeks.
On day 3 Desmoxan I had brought down my vaping to a few puffs until I went into a fit of rage and ended up vaping pretty heavily an hour or two before sleeping.
That night I woke up 2am cold sweats into the morning.
Hit my vape around an 8/9/10 am not so heavily. And dropped it.
Today is day 5. Woke up at around 5am today to the same experience. Haven’t been able to get out of bed since.
Not sure if I can’t actually, but the anxiety is definitely hard. I haven’t even gotten up to go to the bathroom yet today.
I had a protein shake/water. Took some magnesium and my gabapentin.
I’m scared. I’m sober and I’m not good at handling my emotions. I’m trying really really hard.
Need some support, words of encouragement, something.
It’s not like I can exactly check myself into a hospital for this. I had googled to no end clinics that would medically help me the through getting off nicotine. And apparently they only exist for teens?

Gd help me. Really gd help me.
This is so hard.

Tips and hope please 🙏

Hi,
36F starting ketamine therapy for anxiety, depression, and CPTSD primarily.
I NEED this to work desperately. My life is a mess in so many ways.
Newly sober again, struggle with alcohol, thc, and sometimes pills ( always prescribed)
I want to get better so badly. I really really do.
Met a dr, he does iv ketamine and therapy.
I want to stop baking with all my heart too. I’ve quit few times in the past. But the grip it has on me.
I’m scared. I need somebody to say this helped them and I know integration is important. That’s scares me too. I just don’t have the energy anymore and bandwidth to experience more anxiety than I already do.
Help please 🙏

I am willing to move into my other house for a few months to integrate ( my husband no as of now)

AF 17 days, can’t get off the damn carts

Been vaping them for around a month now again and having terrible withdrawals. The 5am anxiety wake up call is killing me most I think. I can’t believe I have them so strong. It’s freaking me out. I just wish it wasn’t just so casually said 3-4 weeks to improve. That’s a long ass time 😣😣😣😣

Interested ISF therapy, insight please

Hi,
I’m a 36F, married two kids. One has special needs. His traumatic birth, last four years dealing with the aftermath has taken a toll on me.
I have cptsd that stems from childhood traumas and beyond. ADHD. And I’m in very early recovery, struggling.
I’ve hit a wall. My drs have hit a wall. I’ve done inpatient, outpatient, rehab, electroshock therapy, CBT, dbt, somatic massage etc. you name it I’ve tried it.
I need to heal, for my kids and for myself.
Feeling hopeless but have been looking into IFS therapy. Maybe that’s what I’ve been missing? healing the trauma in an effective way to end this battle.
I need guidance please. Advice. Insight. Anything.
Thanks
