Caffeine

[Refusetolose]

Can caffeine cause so much damage ? I’ve been drinking coffee lately thinking I was going to be fine and I’ve noticed my symptoms getting worse . I didn’t know it was that bad for anxiety . Thought I could get away with it .

Refusetolose, Oh boy, it's pretty hard to sneak caffeine by anxiety. It can automatically tighten up those muscles in your throat and esophagus. At least that's what coffee does

to me. Now chocolate...that's a different story. Milk Chocolate actually calms me because it makes me so happy when I'm eating it. I even fall into a deeper sleep because of the properties in chocolate. However, it's the next day that I get a kickback from those

moments of happiness by going into a sugar low. It's at that time that all the unpleasant symptoms of anxiety come out. Everything in moderation with anxiety. xx

I’ve learned my lesson the hard way. Thank you !

Drink lots of water and it will flush out the caffeine.

You'll be okay. Hard lesson to swallow literally xx

Haha....I tried to sneak coffee past my anxiety as well. Nope, not happening. It triggers my senses and my breathing gets thrown off. It was a bad start to the day. I like something warm in the morning so I switched to caffeine free tea. It's good but got stale after awhile. I was used to sugar and creamer in my coffee. My latest morning drink is hot spiced cider. It's sweet and I love apples but doesn't have all the caffeine. Try it out if you want.
