Hi Savannah, thanks for sharing your story and welcome here! We have a few eating disorder threads, many members familiar with ED, tobacco and weed smoking. It’s good on you wanting to kick this shit outta your life! Sounds like you have enough going on without growing even bigger substance addictions, right. I’m sorry to hear about your dad. That must be so hard! Have you got anyone to talk to about this?
If I was you, I wouldn’t be so worried about the panik and anxiety for now. I also have a lot of anxiety. It sucks. But there are reasons for that. I would focus on finding someone to talk to. There are self help groups, for everything. In real life or on intherooms.com
This may sound weird, but they help. Cos feeling heard and understood helps us and makes us feel less alone.
Also, interact here! There are a lot of cool and knowledgeable ppl here. I continue to be inspired by them!
Lastly, have you sought the help of a councilor or therapist? I don’t know where you live and what it’s like there, how difficult it is to get to see someone. But their help and what we can learn about ourselves in therapy can be invaluable. Could you look into it?
For now: congrats again on your decision to get sober off your vices. You have come to the right place. I see you, I hear you. The anxiety is shit but it will not always be like this.
