Hello
Your restlessness is likely a combination of nicotine withdrawal and your existing anxiety disorder. Since you’ve been smoking for a few months and suddenly stopped, your body is adjusting to the absence of nicotine, which can cause irritability, restlessness, mood swings, and increased anxiety. At the same time, if you’ve been relying on smoking as a coping mechanism for anxiety, quitting might temporarily make your symptoms feel worse.
This phase is temporary, and your body will adjust over time. To ease the restlessness, try deep breathing exercises, physical activity, staying hydrated, and distraction techniques like listening to music or engaging in hobbies. If your anxiety feels overwhelming, therapy can help you develop healthier coping strategies to manage both withdrawal symptoms and long-term anxiety.
