No coffee no suicidal thoughts

[letitbe222]

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.

Trying green-tea tomorrow i need to feel a boost before working out if not i feel lazy all day don’t like it.

[quitter333 in reply to letitbe222]

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.

[Dolphin14 in reply to letitbe222]

I know. My MD had me cutting down. It's painful!

[letitbe222 in reply to Dolphin14]

I had it today because i dint want to be lazy in bed all day so i went to the gym and since the gym it has been hell. Anxiety and the feeling of losing my mind suicidal thoughts came back. So i emptied my house now its coffee free i cant get it if i feel like a cup ill just try to work my energy up at the gym step by step 😭 without coffee

[lillyofthevalley37 in reply to letitbe222]

What about decaff ?

[letitbe222 in reply to lillyofthevalley37]

Decafe got my suicidal thoughts through the roof it still has Caffeine in it. But some how makes me feel much worst than normal coffee

At least your working out, any tips on how to be consistent with exercise? Much appreciated

[letitbe222 in reply to Skye_Ify]

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.

[letitbe222 in reply to nicetry]

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.

[letitbe222 in reply to Hidden]

Did you drink coffee before your workout? Coffee is the problem for me

[Hidden in reply to letitbe222]

actually yes, i do

[letitbe222 in reply to Hidden]

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.

[letitbe222 in reply to Hidden]

Yes coffee is very bad for depression im on my journey to quitting coffee. Its like a drug to me coffee gym draining my self daily. Making me lose my mind a little by little
