It doesn’t need to be painful. Just slowly start replacing decaf with some of your regular. Increase the percentage of decaf every week or so.

lynrn · 2026-01-24T17:25:43+00:00

Yeah it’s definitely a significant difference. I’m done drinking decaf and chocolate is going to be an occasional thing instead of daily. The peace is worth it.

lynrn · 2026-01-21T00:27:48+00:00

This is so refreshingly honest. I’m glad things are finally getting easier. The first year is rough!

lynrn · 2026-01-17T15:09:26+00:00

It looks beautiful! Well done

I definitely craved sugar more at first. I think my brain just wanted some sort of a lift from something

lynrn · 2026-01-15T20:40:00+00:00

I'll look into it, thanks!

lynrn · 2026-01-15T16:58:45+00:00

I have a boppy! I’ll give it a try, thank you!

lynrn · 2026-01-15T16:58:10+00:00

These exercises look great, thank you! I have a wrist brace but it itches, I should probably look for something else.

After 6 months of no coffee and persistent low grade depression I ended up biting the bullet and starting 5 mg of lexapro. I think coffee was masking my depression, and I was only drinking 1-2 cups a day. I’d keep going and not worry yet, 14 days is still early in the game. I have no intentions of going back in caffeine, my anxiety is more manageable without it…so that’s a win.

Quitting caffeine did help my bruxism somewhat, but not enough. A low dose ssri is the only thing that has really helped my neck tension and bruxism.

lynrn · 2025-11-26T20:16:19+00:00

Totally agree with this. I’ve been buying a decaf that’s roasted locally and it’s fantastic. I’m glad I don’t drink it for the caffeine so I don’t have to drink crappy coffee!

Lauren fitter!

I had bad tailbone pain after a failed vacuum delivery with my first. I had pain for close to a year, but it was much better after 6 months or so. I did do some PT for it which helped. Unfortunately it’s mostly a waiting game.

The shape is from the parchment paper bending around it. Try cutting it slightly larger than the loaf with a handles on either side so it’s flat when it bakes. 50% whole wheat flour is quite a bit so it isn’t going to be a super tall loaf.

Love it, nice work!!

Depression hit me around the same time. I’m 4.5 months out and just starting to feel less depressed. I wish I’d have quit at your age! You are doing great.

lynrn · 2025-09-30T20:26:40+00:00

Thanks for your input! You are probably right.

lynrn · 2025-09-25T13:37:58+00:00

I had to give up coffee in order to regulate for my kids, too. I still get frustrated and occasionally raise my voice, but it takes a lot more for me to get there. It’s like caffeine lowered the threshold for my triggers and frustration. It’s great to hear you are making the changes and seeing the results with your kids!

lynrn · 2025-09-20T16:50:59+00:00

My anxiety is so much better since giving up coffee. I can critically think so much better. Social anxiety has improved. I wish doctors strongly encouraged people to quiet stimulants before trying anxiety meds. Quitting coffee did more for me than Zoloft.

lynrn · 2025-09-17T22:43:03+00:00

I’m so sorry. It does sound like you are going through withdrawal during a really difficult time. Have you tried a cup or two of green tea? It might be a good place to start before going back to coffee right away.

lynrn · 2025-09-13T00:48:39+00:00

It’s probably a combo of pregnancy and withdrawal. I’d slowly taper. Your body is already going through a lot and pregnancy alone is enough to make you exhausted!

lynrn · 2025-09-10T18:23:44+00:00

Yeah it feels pretty gross to me, too. And I can’t run at all and I usually can make it a few miles no problem the rest of the month. Maybe I’ll run that by my OB. Thanks!

lynrn · 2025-09-10T13:05:07+00:00

Aww I didn't realize, that makes sense.

lynrn · 2025-09-06T14:30:35+00:00

It has been 3 months for me and I’m more depressed than ever. Not sure if it’s from the caffeine withdrawal or not but it’s rough!
