One day at work I literally had the thought that I should make another cup of coffee to calm my nerves before a presentation. Then I thought about how dumb that is, and did it anyways.
Did it work? Asking for a friend.
It, in fact, did not calm my nerves. I got through it though!
I was in bad shape either way, at least I got that smooth robust flavor.
9/10 would do again.
Caffeine addiction is so normalized that we seldom think in the moment about if caffeine makes our anxiety worse - we just want to not be so tired
At my work, I frequently have to get on an order picker and go like 16' in the air to get down shower pieces, and if I've had a bunch of caffeine it makes me far more anxious about the whole thing. I love caffeine as much as the next guy but it is really bad for anxiety.
3 coffees no lunch gang checking in
HAHAHA
Tweek Tweak behavior lol
I always drink enough coffee so that my anxiety turns into existential dread.
This source investigated caffeine intoxication of horses. There were days where the horses consumed more than 10g, they had symptoms that were alleviated once their source of caffeine was removed. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3317824/
As of like a week ago caffeine has started making me extremely wired and restless. I don't know what happened, I just cannot handle the same amounts I used to take just 2 weeks ago. Which sucks because that's how I had enough energy after work.
When I am pulling 12 hours I use about 500-600mg of the stuff
