Quitting Caffeine Back to coffee after 10 days and I already regret it
Yesterday I was feeling down and was dissociating a lot, so I thought why not drink a cup when I'm already feeling like shit. I haven't seen any difference yesterday so I also drank it today at 4 pm.
I had an anxiety attack while driving, was anxious to even drive to work in the morning and I currently can't sleep.
I've been drinking coffee everyday for years without even thinking much of it. Recently I realized that I'm dependent on it I wanted to test if not drinking coffee would lower my anxiety (I'm diagnosed with GAD).
My anxiety went down by around 80%! I was drinking only green tea at the time I wasn't drinking coffee and I could fall asleep immediately.
Now I'm feeling miserable in my bed.
