Are you exercising?  Going for a walk?   It really helps.

Yes I go for walks and do a lil bit of exercise when home .. Don't do too much though being that my work alone is a workout .. Lol

Well that doggone anxiety.......  The hardest part of it is believing that it will pass, in only about 20 minutes if it is related to a craving for tobacco. The key here is that it will pass whether you do go for the tobacco or you don't, so why not just give it a pass. You only have to distract yourself for 20 minutes. When I was in withdrawal, I got myself an exercise bike and just jumped on it for a few minutes, that created enough dopamine in my brain to help quell the anxiety.....

Hi ZAK,  one thing that has helped me is talking or writing with friends and all the awesome people on this site.  I have major anxiety issues and coming to the site and reading and chatting has helped because it reminds me i am not alone.  I also do the meditation and breathing techniques they do help also.  As stated above you anxiety gets bad and you need more help please contact your doctor.  Most if not all doctors are doing virtual appointments so you can contact them right from home.  Hope you feel better soon, i know  you will.
