Did anxiety increase or decline after quitting for you?

Hoping it declines because I have pretty severe anxiety/ social anxiety + borderline agoraphobic some days worse than others depending on mood. The faith that it’ll decline or possibly vanish is a big motivator to stay sober from vaping. Interested in everyone’s experience and TIA for answers!

When does dopamine + happiness come back?

I’m just very down now that I don’t have that dopamine hit to my brain. No energy. No motivation or joy for anything. Not partaking in activities I once used to enjoy. Becoming isolated which in return makes me feel my anxiety is going to continue to get worse, although I’m holding on to the faith that it gets worse before it gets better as everyone says.. I’m just all in all bed rotting for the almost 12 days sober from smoking. For those who overcame this hump, when did it get better for you? Google says around the 1 month mark dopamine will build back up. Just hate feeling debilitated, depressed and stagnant although I know it’s temporary. Hoping the light at the end of the tunnel comes sooner rather than later. TIA for answers and congrats to all partaking in this quitting journey 🫶🏼❤️
