Hello. I’m new here. I started smoking over 10 years ago then switched to vaping when those came out. It has taken over my life. I feel like I live to vape. Have tried quitting multiple times before but can never make it past that 3 day mark. Here I am at the 3 day mark once again but it’s little different this time, because I decided to invest in some patches. 

I had a rough morning. I am in a 2 hour physics lecture twice a week, and after that first hour and a half, my brain shut off. I was seeing stars and just couldn’t pay attention. I thought I was going to pass out. I went to the bathroom and felt fine in there so I went back in to class, and immediately felt like I was going to pass out again. 

i have very high anxiety (health anxiety and social anxiety). I was able to stick out the last 20 minutes, but I was not paying attention. I was only focused on the way I was feeling.

I feel like this has to be associated with the nicotine withdrawal. (I have on a 25mg patch) but I guess I’m still kind of withdrawing? I’m not sure. 

has anyone else experienced this “brain fog” when withdrawing? 

thank you so much. I have to break this cycle
