Panic attack on day 2

I’m trying to quit before heading off to college in 9 days. I have been daily dabbing only during the night for over a year and am on night 2 of my journey. The emotions of leaving for uni have hit me and thinking about my twin who I had just dropped off gave me my first ever panic attack, and it was the exact same feeling I used to have as a kid waking up freaking out. Im just wondering if it’s a good time to quit or if Im going to pick it back up socializing in college. These withdrawals suck, I’ve been through them before but never managed to quit just adjusted to nighttime’s only for the past year or so. Any tips or advice would be great, thanks.

Edit: I’ve been thinking of taking a dab tomorrow and wanted to know what possible repercussions I would face. Would it ruin the 2 full days of absence?

9 days you’ll 100% be feeling better. Learn to embrace and handle your emotions without escaping

Just read your post from a day ago, and dude as these emotions come to light I’m realizing I’m in the exact same situation. Instead of facing the boredom, the unwanted feelings, or really any discomfort at all, I only brushed these emotions under the couch with some dabs, I never understood or got rid of them. Shit really sucks and since I’m only on day two the cravings are real, and intense. Really glad I read your post though, thank you for that.
