I recently realized drinking 3-7 black coffees a day could be contributing to my anxiety.
Its wild. Definitely a rough start. Now—a few weeks without coffee or caffeinated drinks—I feel much calmer.
My sleep and bruxism are improving. My motivation suffered but is on the rebound. Will report further updates.
Almost four weeks now without caffeine. I fucking love coffee, but this is one of the best things I’ve done for myself in a while. Better sleep, no more feeling like a zombie in the morning, less anxiety. 5/5.
the way my general sense of panic has diminished since i started cutting back on caffeine instead of starting my every day with it has been kind of a revelation. yeah i'm still anxious but that baseline AAAAA feeling & also quickness to spiral is gone.
i was up late working on a history assignment as a sophomore in high school when i first heard this record. my aunt gave me her deceased husband’s original copy as a gift. i put it on the shitty crosley turntable on the floor and was totally sucked in. i think about this record nearly every day.
“i could write a book and this book would be thick enough to stun an ox.”
