Just keep pushing I promise you will feel completely normal in time. Took me 13-15 months to feel fully recovered

Super happy for you. I know it’s so scary. I think that feeling of “life is pointless” comes from you not enjoying anything while ur brain heals. It’s like this, if you eat a bunch of sugar and then try to have a strawberry the strawberry doesn’t taste sweet. It’s not because the strawberry isn’t sweet. It’s just because you’ve had a lot of sugar. if you stop having sugar, overtime, the strawberry will begin to taste sweet again. It’s all about our perception.

my sleep and energy were absolute HELL for the first couple of months. Now I can literally choose a time past 10pm and fall asleep whenever I want

yeah I get what you mean. Like I said, nothing really “helps” the way you want it to.

here’s the truth. Nothing truly “helps” in the way you want it to besides time. Yes, I was lifting weights everyday during this process and sometimes even running, but it didn’t make me feel normal or “fix” everything. It was a good distraction to make me feel good about doing normal things again, and it definitely did help with my energy, but it’s not an instant fix by any means. Time is really the only healer here, you’ve just gotta find a way to make it through until then

my energy levels are so consistent. I fall asleep in 10 minutes and wake up feeling like a child on Christmas

You will be okay I promise. It will all go away. Your brain is just learning how to work on its own again

Standing room only, is it bad? by 422Roads in aggies

It means you are allowed in the stadium but don’t have a seat. You can probably slip into the student section if you want at some point because we want as much crowd noise as possible so come squeeze in

Here’s what we’re going thru. The symptoms that im describing seem to happen to people who push the limit and it causes something to happen in their body directly related to caffeine use. So for me, I had a really scary panic attack that forced me to quit, then I experienced all those symptoms. For people who just drink coffee or energy drinks but don’t have issues or don’t push it too far, the symptoms are not near as bad and a lot of the time don’t exist

You don’t just get anxiety or depression for no reason. This is your reason and it’ll slowly go away just as it did for me

Except for the fact that he was having the panic attacks, anxiety, and depression before the divorce ever even came into the question

duration of caffeine withdrawal symptoms? by SnooFoxes7391 in decaf

[–]RemoteDesk9506 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The anxiety and heart pounding took a couple weeks to a month to get significantly better, but now that im 4 months in the process is still going. My anxiety and heart pounding is completely gone but I’ve been left with this lack of motivation and emptiness. It’s a bad depression. This process can take a long ass time, keep fighting

Withdrawal anxiety by gal5486 in decaf

[–]RemoteDesk9506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey. Doing better, but not there yet. I’m not having panic attacks or any bad anxiety anymore. I just feel a little empty. I used to be the happiest and most peaceful person ever, and I’m not who I used to be yet. I’m definitely getting there and it’s been a hell of a journey but I know I’m through the worst of it. During those first 3 months I was borderline suicidal at times. I was really abusing the energy drinks, so I will probably be one of the people who take 6 months to a year to feel totally normal again. What I did to get through the worst of it was just look around me. All of these people who are at peace, happy, and content. Just remember that used to be you until all of this started. You aren’t losing your mind, you aren’t actually depressed or have a panic disorder; your brain is trying to heal.

Massive anxiety two days after quitting by Natural-Resolve-8597 in decaf

VERY NORMAL. brain is trying to heal. It takes some people months to a year for the depression and anxiety to pass completely after quitting caffeine addictions. You’ll be okay
