I hope you don’t struggle with anxiety because that would suck. Fucked up that coffee is so tasty yet it has a psychoactive drug.
Make it Irish, no more anxiety problem solved :)
Yes I do. But I also have ADHD and need something sometimes to pick up and stay focused. I actually didn’t drink coffee for like 6 years but I just recently started again, usually I only drink 1 cup or take 2.5mg of my prescribed ritalin (very little amount) when I have some serious volume of work to do (1-3x a week) but I wanted to get BEEG BEEEEG work done so I drank 3 cups and 5mg.
I also have a bizarre and unhinged way I deal with my mental health sometimes, like regarding my anxiety I often prescribe myself “exposure therapy,” as in “Just sit in it and suffer, it’ll get better! Willpower!” On one hand I think it might actually help a little bit in the long term, on the other hand just boiling in anxiety is no bueno for my health, but I definitely am against taking anti-anxiety meds and it has gotten much better over the years. Coffee is definitely a necessity in my schedule for the last month.
There’s always decaf coffee for taste! I do love the black coffee taste. I’m a dark chocolate, IPA kind of guy, if it tastes like bitter stale dirt I’ll love it lol.
If you aren’t teaching yourself that the situation isn’t dangerous, like making yourself comfortable when exposed to the trigger, you could end up making your anxiety worse. It’s good that you aren’t avoidant, just remember that getting better is more than just pulling teeth through triggers.
I’m a little jealous though. If I drank that much coffee I’d be shitting myself constantly. Probably get a hole in my stomach as well.
Hm, good point.
The worst that will happen to me is I will NOT sleep. No matter how much later in the day. So miserable. Only happens once every blue moon tho.
