the odd man getting out

[Shunneddune]

I have agoraphobia...I have found that when I refuse my nicotine consumption I experience less anxiety..that's odd because I always thought it helped deal with anxiety...the other odd thing is when I drink more caffeine I'm more likely to leave my house and it's been drilled in my head that caffeine is bad for anxiety...so I guess I'm just the exception not the rule

Hi Shunneddune. I am glad that you are learning more about yourself. With caffeine I find that my anxious sweating will usually increase, but I am more active. I think that anxiety and excitement are very closely related so I think that walking that line with things is fairly common. I don't have any experience with nicotine so can't weigh in on that one. I hope you are doing well!
