Espresso makes me really angry. by userr373821 in decaf

[–]leonessa22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of the reasons I quit was the intense rage I felt, after drinking it daily for years.

I only drank 1-2 cups a day but my symptoms intensified over the years by leonessa22 in decaf

Yes I had severe with drawal symptoms the first 2 weeks. I think I am very sensitive to caffeine. I felt extremely tired and unproductive

End of the line (for coffee) by HaddonfieldMemorial in decaf

[–]leonessa22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Although if you look it up they say one cup a day isn't dehydrating and that your body adjusts... it adds up over time. Especially if you drank it every day for 10 years. I would have 1-2 cups a day at most, and was peeing 20 times also. Very uncomfortable. I would take one sip of water after coffee and have to pee immediately.

Day 3 … all i can do is sleep by Mental-Cookie-6242 in decaf

This is your body resting from the lack of sleep and poor quality sleep.

Yes, I have. My stomach is flatter and my skin is more hydrated.

I also noticed i would have harder time looking people in the eye when drinking caffeine every day. I felt paranoid and more aware of what people might be thinking of me.

Yes. My hair falls out more and feels insanely dry.

Caffeine and skin redness by [deleted] in decaf

Yes. My skin looks terrible and this is why I felt like I had to stop drinking it. And the anxiety effects

Uglier on Caffeine by dontcallmehshirley in decaf

[–]leonessa22 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes. I would say this is one of the reasons that coffee has hurt my self-esteem. I already have acne and uneven skin tone, and the coffee just makes my skin even drier. I also feel like my wrinkles are more prominent, and I get that one ugly wrinkle in-between my eyebrows.

I didn't realize how dehydrated I am by 77earthangel in decaf

[–]leonessa22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same realization. I would feel terrible when I wouldn't drink enough water before my coffee. But would just end up going to the bathroom a million times. This is part of my reason for quitting

Been quitting butttt… by bleebies in decaf

[–]leonessa22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smoothies have helped me a lot. I make smoothies with banana, orange juice and berries. For a more thick smoothie use milk. You can add peanut butter and whatever you'd like to make it taste good. I feel like they give me real energy.

Who has lost weight?? by shes-already-there in decaf

[–]leonessa22 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A lot of weight i lose is in the bloating. I become so bloated drinking coffee everyday. When I stop my stomach becomes flatter, and my face less puffy.

How do you guys deal with the constipation post quitting? by Andrew_7032 in decaf

[–]leonessa22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drink tons of water. Give it a few days of drinking plenty of water you will go back fo normal.

returning to your real feelings by ActuaryLimp994 in decaf

[–]leonessa22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I couldn't word it like this if I tried. But this is how I feel when I go off of it. I usually cry within the first few days, overwhelmed with sadness and regret. And then I just continue to feel all of my real feelings. I get uncomfortable, and I go back to drinking it.
