You may not like this advice but I’d definitely try and stop vaping before you get too addicted and it negatively affects your health. If you have health anxiety vaping is one of the last things you should do because it will probably end up causing health problems in the long run. Although it is highly unlikely vaping for under two weeks is going to give you lung cancer, I would still quit ASAP.

You do not need to worry since you have not been smoking long at all. It is a really bad habit that I am caught up in so I would recommend that you try your hardest to quit especially if it is stressing you out

i started vaping when i was 16. i’m 20 years old now, and i’m finally not addicted. after years, thousands of dollars in disposable vapes, low lung capacity and an embarrassing addiction, i finally was able to sever my tie from nicotine like 2 months ago. trust me, don’t start. the only reason i started was because everyone else was doing it, and it inadvertently provided me cheap relief from my thoughts. aka, it was a crutch. the disposable vapes like the cuvie plus, puff bars, HDQ’s, pretty much all of them aren’t safe and made in China. most have more than 5% nic and they also have other chemicals that are bad for your health. you’ve only been vaping 2 weeks, so your health is fine, but it would be best if you stopped. personally, i’ll hit one of my friends vapes every once in a blue moon, and only once, and occasionally (once every 3-4 months) i’ll smoke a cigar. the issue is making it a daily habit, and my advice is to stop while you can.

Since you were 16 when you started vaping, how did you dispose of them?

@mentalhealthandselfcare i’d just throw them away in a trash can, usually the one outside under everything so my parents wouldn’t see lol

Just please stay off nicotine. Its terrible for your anxiety and it's awful and inconvenient for your day. It's a nasty habit to kick so don't let it develop. Just throw it away.

I smoked for many years. I got so anxious and irritable every 2-3 hours until I went to smoke. It's so much easier to tackle regular anxiety without nicotine induced anxiety added on . Vaping is still very new and they don't know much of the consequences of it yet but my professors friend son ended up in the ER for severe lung complications from vaping. Others Don't feel effects at all. It's a risky game so just don't play it.

For the past three years I've smoked marijuana nearly everyday. It helped with my anxiety and quieting my brain and helped me sleep. Recently, it began to make me feel more anxious, i would wake up nauseous and even threw up a couple of times which really triggered some health anxiety. I decided to quit because of this and i'm almost 2 weeks out from the last time I smoked. My body is slowly recovering but my brain just doesn't seem to quit it. I went to my GP a couple of weeks ago for a routine checkup and everything came back normal in my blood work and exam, yet that hasn't stopped me from completely obsessing over my health and feeling like (in my mind, not my body) i'm seriously ill- which is giving me extreme anxiety. Because of my reoccurring stomach issues my GP referred me to a GI who I had an appointment with yesterday. He was very unimpressed by everything I said and seemed like everything is pointing to IBS-which is not serious and something my mother also deals with. He ordered some extra tests to make sure I wasn't dealing with inflammation and he said he was very confident that my internal vital organs were a completely fine. I'm still waiting on those test results and his confidence should I have made me feel better but i'm still freaking out. Everybody in my life is tired of hearing about it and I just don't know what to do anymore. I feel like i'm pushing people away. I feel good and like myself when I'm distracted and doing something fun, but mornings and nights and when i'm doing something mundane it's the worst. I feel like I can feel all of these pains and sensations but I have no idea if it's real. I've even started asking Chatgpt for constant reassurance and constantly googling my symptoms. I'm in a horrible loop. I should mention that on top of quitting weed, I also just graduated college, moved back home and my boyfriend and I started the longest period of long distance we've ever had to do so i'm just not feeling like myself at all. My psychiatrist just put me on Zoloft (my vomiting and intense anxiety coincided with when i began taking Prozac again so she wanted me to try something else) I'm only on day 3 of the meds but nausea and insomnia are the two side effects im dealing with right now which is just making my anxiety so much worse before the meds have even kicked in. Does anyone have advice on how to break this cycle of constant checking-i feel like taking a deep breath has even turned into a compulsion.

Been off this app for 2 years. Now I’m back with a terrible theme of getting cancer and dying. I can’t sleep, can barely eat, and think about it constantly. I’ve posted on Reddit to alleviate stress, but nothing works. I will die regardless and no one can assure me I won’t get cancer. I just want to stop worrying and feeling so scared all the time. I’m a med student and I want to drop out because I don’t think I can handle seeing people sick and not assuming it’ll happen to me

I have risk factors for cancer and there’s stuff I’ve done in the past that’s killing me. Like now I’m fated. And I’m having symptoms of colon cancer and I feel like the sky is falling.
