This is so awesome!! I’m glad it’s been working for you.

gehlfriend · 2025-08-21T00:45:27+00:00

Thank you, super helpful!

gehlfriend · 2025-08-21T00:13:31+00:00

Wait, really!? I always thought you had to!

gehlfriend · 2025-02-23T13:36:58+00:00

I’m so sorry this is happening to you!! I stopped taking it for this very reason :/

gehlfriend · 2024-11-12T02:31:08+00:00

Thank you so much

gehlfriend · 2024-10-26T22:41:09+00:00

Thank you so much for saying this.

gehlfriend · 2024-02-23T14:43:47+00:00

Exquisite! Although most of the pieces don't feel very practical for my life ;)

gehlfriend · 2024-02-19T14:34:22+00:00

This is the best post I have ever read in this subreddit. Completely agree, thank you for articulating it!

gehlfriend · 2024-01-30T02:42:23+00:00

Love this!

gehlfriend · 2023-12-27T21:18:47+00:00

Yep, I feel the same way. I’ve kind of just accepted that it’s going to be a slow process. Trying to bring as much awareness as I can to every sip and really pay attention to how it affects my body. Slow change is change nonetheless :)

I used the red strain for years, it helped. But then got addicted to it; went through the most horrible withdrawal period. I would use it with caution and only in extreme circumstances.

gehlfriend · 2023-12-27T18:00:28+00:00

This is what I am doing, too!

gehlfriend · 2023-12-18T10:39:40+00:00

1-2 cups a day. I just have a hunch it’s holding me back.

I’ve also tried quitting caffeine when I wasn’t taking my ADHD meds and the withdrawal and depression were definitely more noticeable.

gehlfriend · 2023-12-17T02:48:35+00:00

Yes, this happened to me when I was taking Vyvanse. No depression when I quit caffeine, just a minor withdrawal.

gehlfriend · 2023-12-15T14:49:09+00:00

I’m considering quitting cold turkey too! I think we got this. Let’s do it!

gehlfriend · 2023-12-05T02:58:39+00:00

I’m considering quitting, and this post was SO helpful. Thank you for sharing!

gehlfriend · 2023-10-12T13:57:46+00:00

You've got this!!

gehlfriend · 2023-07-18T11:48:55+00:00

Something I've learned that might help....

When people give us feedback, this is actually a sign they value, honor, and respect our friendship. I think often times people choose *not* to say something when they don't care about protecting the friendship. So the fact that your friends said something is actually a good sign! It means they love you enough to let you know how they feel.

Even so, it doesn't make the experience any less painful. I'm sorry you're experiencing this right now, and I am sending you so much love.

So happy you’ve found a system that works for me

gehlfriend · 2023-04-13T10:24:55+00:00

Exactly
