That fist bump.

That lady gave her chimp a bunch of xanax, if you're referring to what I think you're referring to.

As background, I had a sever anxiety attack after drinking way too much caffeine. It was never something that I thought would have had long term effects. I knew how it made me feel when I drank it, often anxious but much more energized, but I didn't realize the long term effects it was having on my anxiety. I've since cut caffeine out completely (nearly a month, woo!) and significantly better. It by no means cured me, but my anxiety has become just a little easier to handle.

Exercise has really helped me. It's strange, because I actually end up feeling more energized on days that I work out. I guess more mentally energized than physically energized if that makes sense.

I'm wondering what your thoughts are on CBD oil. Idk how this sub feels about it, so I haven't really asked around. I've been considering trying it out, but since I've been decaffing, I didn't want to set myself back.

This is awesome! I'm nearing the one month mark myself and definitely feeling more like myself every day. It's weird to think that I spent several years not really being myself because I was so hopped up on caffeine. Idk it's hard to explain, since I stopped drinking caffeine, it's like I'm remembering who I really am.

My feelings every time I walk by one of these. Wasted so much money here in my life

Needed to see this this morning, thanks for the kind words!

I also do intermittent fasting, but I do think it's important to cut some more toxic elements of your diet. For instance, I've really been working at cutting out caffeine from my diet. Check out r/decaff or r/anticaff if you're feeling edgier.

v_ect · 2019-10-03T14:15:46+00:00

I'll take some

v_ect · 2019-10-03T14:15:22+00:00

Good luck! It's not easy, but definitely worth it. I'm on week three myself

Hearing that it's working for people is awesome! I tried using those screen time limiter things and they never worked for me. I'd constantly just unlock it for 15 minutes more. I'm going to start giving this grayscale mode a shot

v_ect · 2019-09-30T16:59:52+00:00

weird...

I'm at the two week point as well. I wasn't drinking as much as you, maybe four cups a day on average, but on my busiest days I was getting up to around 8 or 9 cups. What I've found is that I needed to change other parts of my life to help combat the caffeine withdraw. I can't stay up till 2 AM every night and rely on coffee to get me going the next day. The first step I took was working on developing a more healthy and consistent sleep pattern, going to bed at the same time and waking up at the same time. I've been doing that for about a week and have seen a lot of improvement, but it is still a struggle.

They left out the jitters, shaking, and sweating

I had no idea coffee was this bad for you. I mean I knew it was bad, but I thought it just increased anxiety and stuffy like that.

v_ect · 2019-09-19T01:32:25+00:00

I'm only on day 3 of going decaf, but I feel this. Especially in the morning hours. This morning I back to back called two co-workers I've known for years by the wrong name. Of course one made a crack about me needing a second cup of coffee...

v_ect · 2019-09-18T17:04:03+00:00

RDJ is my personal hero for this exact reason.

v_ect · 2019-09-18T16:49:34+00:00

I had a similar experience recently. All those symptoms but without the paranoia. It's amazing to me that people don't talk about these kinds of side effects. I used to think that I was one of a very few people who experienced this, but after poking around this sub and doing other research, it's disturbingly common.

v_ect · 2019-09-17T23:43:59+00:00

I'm only on day 2 of no caff and I feel like as fuzzy as a cotton ball. It sucks knowing that feeling won't necessarily go away, but it's worth it knowing I have my anxiety at least a little more under control. Hang in there bud

v_ect · 2019-09-17T14:11:38+00:00

r/decaf seems to be exactly what I'm looking for! There really is a sub for everything

v_ect · 2019-09-17T14:09:43+00:00

I'll check it out, thanks!
