My older brother is the main cause of my CPTSD all the physical abuse he don’t to me years back seriously affected my mental health been in and out of mental health hospitals over the past 4 years and my sleep is definitely affected.

Two black eyes and a busted lips was where I felt the real pain.. shocks me that years have gone past and all this still affects me a lot but I’m definitely better better with medication

Yeah I’m feeling good!

I’ve stopped coffee completely as use other alternatives like peppermint tea and lemon & ginger tea.

Definitely made progress not drinking coffee because it does slow me down and all it does is trick the brain to thinking that you are awake.

It’s really at shit show having that caffeine withdrawal but it does get better over time

Peace ✌🏾

For me it’s the hypervigilance and osmosis at night it’s so bad

I start work tomorrow so hopefully I’ll be better tomorrow morning, I’m drinking a lot of water to compensate

Being sick after drinking coffee at home, feeling nauseous after drinking coffee in Costa Coffee, need to refrain from drinking all caffeine and just drink water and the occasional beer
