Caffeine, anger, and anxiety…
Only when the dead line is close though
Caffeine leads to anxiety
Anxiety leads to anger
Anger leads to the Dark Side
My favorite dark side is French Roast.
I’ve had so many people be surprised when I tell them caffeine gives me major anxiety…I thought it was common knowledge that it did that but apparently it’s not. Glad to see some organic outside confirmation lol.
You forgot spite. Spite is more effective than anger because it’s less distracting and lasts longer.
Spite is the brand name for Anger XR.
Life is taking me raw and tbh staying OFF of caffeine has helped me. Sleep is hella important for my insomniac ass.
Hell, I am medicated and still go hard with caffeine and rage.
Been living that since I quit school
Panic also works if anger isn’t available.
Okay but could we tone down the panic back to a more manageable level, like 9/10, instead of usual 28/10?
drinks my 4th cup of News Sorry what? Speak up. The panic attacks are loud.
I always blamed CPTSD for anger (like in being able to motor through things, not being angry at people) and stress. Worked for me, do not recommend.
How the fuck am I supposed to get anything done if I’m that calm? I need that stress or you need earplugs…
Just saving shit like this to show my brother how much he relates
That’s about the size of it.
You don’t know the power of the dark side
For overachievers there’s also the fear of being seen as a fraud >.<
Caffeine does pretty much nothing for me
I learned recently that high caffeine tolerance is a telltale symptom of ADHD!
As if I needed another lol
Yeah I need real stimulants. If it doesn’t release dopamine then it’s useless.
Just raw dogging reality
Yeah it sucks when ADHD meds are illegal in my country. Caffeine isn’t as effective as it used to be
It’s true. I went to an NHS ADHD clinic and they turned me away without testing anything, after a year on the waiting list, as I didn’t look mental enough (though they told me there was definitely something up). Ever since I have survived on caffeine and rage.
Why caffeine? I have an ADHD assessment and for the first appointment that was one of the questions, if I drank caffeine and how much if so.
Because it is a stimulant that affects the brain stem thingy just like the real meds
Most people who seek professional help have at one time attempted to self-medicate to resolve their issues.
Stimulants are what you would self-medicate with for ADHD. Caffeine is a simulant.
Source: I used to drink up to 3 energy drinks per day to stay on task at work. It was literally killing me
Also, when you don’t know you have ADHD, when you forgt your meds, om the meds are not enough.
I stick to concerta, thank you.
Focalin my beloved
