So i just wanted to update my situation i have severe depression and anxiety panic attacks. And im obsessively am addicted to working out and my morning coffee. Today was the first day i dint drink coffee laid in bed all day and no sign of suicidal thoughts bugging me. Coffee is bad for depression and anxiety for sure!!!

If you like coffee why not try Decaff , you will be less jumpy and you will able to concentrate more.

Ive tried decafe last week and suicidal thoughts was through the roof. Ended up in the hospital they gave me a xanax thats the day i got back on zoloft

Consider other drinks without De-caffe, Drinking Chocolate seems to be a good choice.

When I drive I find several pieces of chocolate seems to keep my mind on my driving

You can also try Tea De caffe

It does not seem to be the caffine, consider other problems causing your mental health.

It appears all you have is hightened blood pressure.

When I have high bp, I feel like I could do something violent. I try to avoid coffee, but the absolutely best is to EXERCISE regularly.

I often go and exercise when I dont want to.

Most things in life reap benefits when you do them when you dont feel like it.

Right after coffee i would go to the gym. When the buzz is high must be pumping irons till I’m drained. And i follow a few fitness model on ig they motivate me on pumping my glutes and hips. Build my body shape.

Even decaf coffee still has some caffeine in it. I try to stay away from all caffeine. Peppermint tea can be a good pick me up in the mornings. There's no caffeine in it either.

I have to have coffee but try to limit it to one cup a day, otherwise I feel too jittery and panicked. Today I didn’t have any until 10 am & it actually calmed me down a bit — suicidal thoughts were through the roof from the time I woke up.

Zoloft is helping me manage the thought and down feeling. It does help. My father and husband is anti drug doesn’t want me on it so i went off it before but than things got so bad. I had to go to the hospital. Doc said should take 6 month to get better. But you gotto walk or tun do some body training. Body mind and gut connection is important. Maybe try ketogenic diet for a month see how you feel? Just a suggestion :)

i exercise regularly. but most times after a hard workout I leave the gym and suddenly feel really depressed. exercise is supposed to make a person feel better but I get depressed. not sure why.

Its not the working out its the coffee highs and when it drops its messed with our brain function. Im on my journey of quitting coffee i will let you know how it goes. I mistakenly had 1 cup today because im not use to being lazy in bed i missed the gym but it was a big mistake all my anxiety suicidal thoughts feeling extremely down after the gym. I will quit now completely i threw all coffee out of my house and will build my energy slowly in the gym. I do weight lift intensely in a short period of time and coffee was good but very bad for my brain. Will update how it works out. Should take me a week or 2 to get back my energy without needing coffee to pump irons 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I stopped drinking coffee on a daily basis too. Just at times when I really need a caffeine boost. Without coffee, it helped me sleep better, less the overthinking and anxiety attacks. :)
