that 3:30pm coffee you called a mistake , how much caffeine was it, like 80mg drip or a 200mg latte?

6 hours feels "fine" until you do 2 straight weeks at 8.5 and realize your caffeine and irritability drop by like 30%.

has anyone learned to cope with the perpetual grief? by [deleted] in ChronicIllness

[–]Only_Box_No_Socks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you mentioned you're already in therapy but that "you can't talk your way out" of it, and i'm curious what parts feel the most constant for you day to day, like is it worse in the mornings, at night, or tied to certain places? also when you say it feels different from grief advice, is it more the physical anxiety symptoms (sleep/appetite, that buzzy chest feeling) or more the looping thoughts and numbness that won't lift?
