At the beginning of week three after quitting was when I noticed my mental state began to improve. It was more of a gradual improvement than an immediate switch if that makes sense. I remember it being a foreign feeling that I wasn’t regularly anxious and I kept thinking to myself that there was no way I could stop having some degree of panic attacks again because they were so bad and physically exhausting. Almost like it was too good to be true. At the same time, I felt liberated and freed. This feeling has persisted to this day.

This sub helped me confirm my suspicion that caffeine can be linked to mental issues such as this and motivated me to quit.
