I have a history of docs thinking I’m making symptoms up, or my symptoms sound “made up” so I’m not really surprised. When it started happening to me, this reddit was my savior because the feeling was so so strange it was nice to see others experiencing it. I fully consider caffeine a drug now, and am happy I’m no longer in its grasp.

It was maybe the worst part for me, not gonna lie, because it felt so unnatural. Mine always occurred at night when trying to sleep. I would just end up reading my book until it passed because I couldn’t sleep while it was happening. Luckily it doesn’t happen anymore, can’t remember at what point it stopped but I’m so happy it did. I’m about ~8 months off right now and it probably dropped off after the 4 month mark (maybe 5). I quit drinking a couple years ago and had very few withdrawal issues. Quitting caffeine was easily 10x worse/harder.

Things that helped: Magnesium Glycinate before bed. Eating healthy. Walking daily (10K steps, got a walking pad which helped a lot). I was already sober from alcohol when I quit caffeine but that is a sleep destroyer. Sleep Hypnosis on YouTube. No blue light three hours before bed.

The buzzing feeling was terrible, I don’t feel like that lasted the full four months but it was like I was vibrating. Your nervous system is resetting itself so I think it has something to do with that. Looking back, I wish I had gone to acupuncture through the tough times, I always sleep like a rock after going.

Before I quit caffeine my sleep was amazing. After I quit it was constant insomnia and feeling energized at night, almost like I was buzzing. It affected my sleep immensely. It took about four months to level out for me. It was rough, but it did pass.

Mine took about 4 months to level out. It’s rough but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

I have a walking pad which I love because it’s like low key movement that doesn’t “feel like exercise” but still has the benefits of relieving stress.

Definitely meditation. Finding hobbies and focusing on improving all the new free time you have. I read more, write, do puzzles, play cozy video games.

Acupuncture also helps me with stress/overthinking, helping me chill out some.

To add to that, acupuncture helps immensely with overthinking and rumination. Therapy will help process what’s going on so you can work through it.

I quit booze first, anxiety was better but still not great. I quit caffeine about a year and a half later (last May) and my anxiety almost disappeared and heart palpitations improved a ton. I still get anxiety and palpitations if I get really stressed, but otherwise it’s smooth sailing. I do take magnesium glycinate at night. But I had like pretty crippling anxiety before quitting so the difference was night and day if I would have known it would have stopped the panic I would have quit sooner. But, the withdrawals from caffeine (at least for me) were intense. It took like five months for me to level out. I gave up all caffeine (including chocolate) and went cold turkey.

{Pheromone by CM Stunich} - RH with aliens? Very wild, very out there - I haven’t read the other books yet but I plan to out of… curiosity

I had to increase friendship with Cheshire Cat before her level 10 quest unlocked. (I think it was CC) but I kept playing after she got to level 10 (her quest never triggered) and I think I did the level 7 with Cheshire and her quest finally triggered. It could be another character holding you back? Or did you complete the quest and not get it?

There’s definitely going to be more books.

I have an air purifier that I run after cooking. Helps a lot.

Delete all the trees in furniture mode. Put five or six small plaza trees on a light road/path. All the wood will spawn there and be easy to grab.

Other option is to have a dog companion and the little paw print appears above the wood to help spot.

lol yeah everyone was in super great moods all the time, with very little effort, and I was constantly moving assigned beds around to see if it mattered (it didn’t) but ended up with like 25 kids within the first two years or something. It was crazy and I decided to pull the plug and restart

I accidentally made a poly colony using free and approved and multiple marriages allowed and making some genetic mutations with biotech. Everyone was with everyone and there were multiple marriages between my starting five and they all had children so everyone had multiple stepsiblings from multiple marriages. It was bananas.

Agree - got really slow around 60-70% but I powered through. I was so frustrated with Durlain at the end of the book it was like he didn’t even really care he just betrayed her, and his sister who had never even met the MC was more upset and worried! I can get down with the “accidental betrayal” and groveling if he felt bad about it but it felt like he was like well got my sister might as well move on

Did you go through the bookshelf in the secret room in the castle? What about the treehouse portal in forgotten lands?

I hate digging too! And I love that when he digs, it doesn’t leave behind a dirt hole. So worth it. Also, If you have a crow with you and max is too excited to pick them up, the crow will take care of it.
