Just over 4 months, still rough

Wondering if anyone else had this,
I quit 4 months ago. Used to do about 6 pouches a day (6mg).

What happened to me was, had a panic attack or something, then decided to quit nicotine, occasional weed, and alcohol at the same time.

First month was brutal, got prescribed Zoloft for anxiety haven’t taken it yet.

2nd month was okay, still shitty but not as bad.

3rd month I had weeks were I thought I was back to normal. Then the shit would come back( anxiety, intrusive thoughts, over stressing for no reason).

4th month same as third felt okay for some weeks shit for others, now I’m passed 4 months and for the last week straight have had terrible anxiety. It’s all come back now. The intrusive thoughts and anxiety isn’t as bad as the bringing because I know it’s irrational and stupid. But they still bother me.

Basically asking for ppl who have gone through this when did it get better, did u need something like Zoloft to help you. I worry about the side effects of it.

For context. I eat well, I run, I lift, I sleep 8hrs a night. The only good thing from this all is that somehow I no longer have trouble sleeping.

I couldn’t find much info on owner builder situations before I started. Mainly was looking for cost savings to see if it was worth the hassle to take on myself. I wanted to make a post in case it helped someone decide to go this route.

Just completed our build. It took 9 months. From foundation to move in. And cost $283/sqft, $230/sqft if you count the attached garage which is finished and insulated the same as house.

This house would be considered entry luxury I guess?

Some of the upgrades:(maybe considered upgrades idk)

- Taj quartzite counters, big island.(From Home Depot and they’re awesome)

- LP smart side lap siding

- Rockwool insulation

- Stained fiberglass front door

- 9ft ceilings

- maple stained doors on cabinets

- small butler/coffee off the kitchen

Stuff you may not need if building where utilities are at Lot line.

- septic $27k

- well $16k

- hydro poles $13.8k

- long driveway ~500ft with a loop cost at least $24k in gravel

- tree removal $3k ( I cleared the lot but had someone take the trees)

I subbed out everything but insulation and interior trim (hanging doors, baseboard, window jambs/casing)

TOTAL COST TO BUILD $283/sqft (4 bed + office, 2.5 bath. Master has ensuite and walk in closet).

Cheapest quote I received was roughly 400/sqft plus (well, septic, hydro)

Minimum approximate savings $300k
