To my fellow spastic anxiety ridden peeps, do you feel like coffee makes your anxiety and ticks worse?

I feel like it does a little bit because I have very high energy a lot of the time but with my anxiety it's also negative draining energy, some days I feel like I need coffee to feel alive but other days I feel like it amplifies my anxiety, is there a happy medium?

Yes.. it’s murder..

I’ve cut it out completely, including chocolate which has it.. or green tea which also has it.,

I barely sleep any more because of overtaking it and I still haven’t fixed myself after 8 months.. tho things have gotten better I suppose

@AuRevoir I love green tea and coffee but it does not love me. I just want a pick me up some days but instead it has me shaking and awake forever. It sucks. What do you do for energy?

@Poetvann mmmm energy is like just exercise really.. it’s weird but the more you take walks and work out the more natural energy you get.. just have to cross over that hump really.. it’s extremely difficult, but not impossible.. 🤔

And I know what you mean.. I’d like my life to be back to normal like that but alas.. 🙄 sadly it seems like a dream away.. I do miss chocolate and green tea and not necessarily all coffee but those iced coffee things were so good!!
