Quitting coffee cured my (social)anxiety

Forgot: Read the power of now

I started drinking coffee recently again and my anxiety spiked again- it's definitely the coffee although meditation helps for sure

This is some no-fap level of bullshit.

That being said, if you have anxiety then yea maybe cut down on the caffeine. I drink a cup a day at most and have no problems, keeps me full in the mornings and let's my shit loose. Love the stuff and I often go days without it no problem if I'm lazy.

I remember how well focused and strong I felt, then I started drinking coffee and I get this weird feeling in my chest and I felt so lost in my head and couldn't sleep at night. Now I'm quitting currently on day 2.

The only positive side I felt is the feel good effect for 20mins and also the sex drive.

Man, he's clearly talking about people WITHOUT ADD or ADHD, obviously, this is not an universal rule. Most people here probably don't have ADHD, but they DO have social anxiety. So I think his recommendation is good for the public in general.

Thanks, I will check the app

shit, coffee cures my social anxiety, do I have ADD? I honestly wouldn't be surprised if I did

>This is some no-fap level of bullshit.
I know but it works for me. Good sleep+meditation+workout out+no coffee turns you into a radiating human being. I shit you not

Caffeine may increase anxiety during the time that it is active but if it affects your social life then you have other issues.

Do you use any other drugs? How were the headaches?

There is not a single solitary society or single word written on the subject that would agree with you on your bullshit.

A massive massive MASSIVE swath of the modern anxiety problems that people have now is undiagnosed caffeine and sugar intoxication.

If you have that much energy all piled up in your head and no way to use it correctly it just becomes this constant feeling of anxiety and restlessness that would normally be easily channeled into action or doing.
But since those things are seen as bad and people don't have hobbies anymore that increased feel just becomes this ever present anxiety that never goes away.

If someone who has horrible anxiety just stays away from coffee and excess sugars and stimulating media they're anxiety will drop like a stone.

My life: the post

okay, this thread convinced me to quit the coffee jew. I will save money as well.

drinking gets me mad emotional hangovers now. Apart from that I did the usual mdma speed and shrooms. The hangovers weren't as bad as with alcohol and I don't get anxiety from either

i quit drinking coffee several times and the last time i woke up next day with that head-spinning shit you get when you drink too much and lie down, it was kind of scary honestly, hope it was just the lack of caffeine and not a brain tumor, but quitting seems worth it to me, i seem to have similar level of energy and better sleep

ive been like 5 days w/o coffeine and i'm really craving a coffee

does it really help anxiety that much? i could definitely use help

for how long do i need to do this?

>Forgot: Read the power of now
read it

all it said is be more present, without telling me how

ofc i don't want to think about past failures or worry/daydream about the future
but how do i do it?

is tea fine?

>all it said is be more present, without telling me how

tyical "gimme concise bulletpoints ree" reaction of a person too dumb to understand anything heavier than naruto fanfic

>I love the taste and smell of coffee in the morning.

There's nothing better but I'm the same way. Just one cup, not particularly strong and it would just sort of set my base level anxiety up a couple of extra notches for the whole day.
A few days after ditching it I felt a lot calmer by default.

in english?

where did i ask for concise bulletpoints, i read the whole book. it's literally the shortest book i read this year, or are you too dumb and thought it was a novel?

people who blame other things in life and not take responsibility are the ultimate brainlets

Legit. The last thing a modern human wagecuck needs is MORE cortisol, that's just pants on head retarded. If anything we should be popping hydrocodone every day before going to work just to return to a normal human baseline cortisol level.

I switched to tea a couple months ago after being hardcore coffee drinker and I definitely noticed my anxiety levels have been way down and I'm not as irritable and angry, kinda messed up since I drank coffee for most of my life and enjoyed it quite a bit

I can't imagine feeling social anxiety as an adult man. That's pathetic, you're a pussy and coffee isn't the cause.

>i have never felt nervous for an interview
>i have never felt nervous before giving a presentation in front of many people

How did you wean yourself off it? I drink at least 4 strong cups a day, maybe 5. How much did you stop drinking it by, and by how much did you keep decreasing it? Over what time interval?

Like I need this shit to function. I'm a software dev and if I'm not there mentally, I'm fucked.

Yeah that is a good way of doing it.

You can go cold turkey but there might be some pretty heavy withdrawal symptoms

I said as an adult man, not a manchild. The former implies self-confidence, a masculine trait. I don't feel anxious when I speak to people. Pussy.

I just drink decaf because I like the taste of black coffee and it works well as appetite suppressant

pic please

you can't imagine it because you're a moron

>adult men dont have job interviews
>adult men dont give public speeches

what you're describing is arrogance, not confidence

you had low minerals and the coffee made it worse lol

I'm going to drink one cup of coffee before my morning workouts, and no more than that.

Will this fuck my life up?

get a load of this fucking guy. You are like those old fuckers at the gym talking about how vaccines dont work and adhd is not real

It won't "fuck up your life" per se, but you will become dependant on that one cup before every single workout to the point where you don't go to the gym if you first don't have your coffee in you. And that's the bad part

Did you quit cold turkey or wean off?

I invited your dad over to wean off together, we were fucking weaning each other off all night bro, it was the fucking best. I still wean off thinking about it.

I don't think it's so much what you eat, it's more so that these people don't fucking do anything. Every person I've met with an anxiety disorder sits in class for 5 hours a day, then goes home to study or play on their phones. It's like a kid with ADHD getting denied recess. He's gonna act up more.

Yes. Dont do it.

drinking coffe cured my (social)anexiety

AMA

For real, drinking coffe works. Combine it with cigarretts to have a conversation starter

3 months off, ill never drink coffee seriously again

what if you don't have ADD you fucking TARD

>be me
>hipotension runs on family
>maybe not related, but used to run a lot and my resting bpm got to 60-ish
>need the coffee to pump up my tension or else i'm sleepy all day
>drink coffee all day

Kinda sucks, I feel like I'm at about 60% when working out after a cup of coffee, but if not, i don't have any energy to actually do it. But apparently, recent studies suggest that >4 cups of coffee a day have an antioxidizing effect, specially on your liver, so not all is lost.

i feel like i might be making a big mistake by choosing you to ask this, but do you know where i could find some good naruto fanfic?

>I myself eschew all stimulants. I also practically abstain from meat. I am convinced that within a century coffee, tea, and tobacco will be no longer in vogue. Alcohol, however, will still be used. It is not a stimulant but a veritable elixir of life.
Tesla was against caffeine why aren't you?

Not addicted to coffee still have social anxiety...

going to have to find something else to blame

>alcohol, an elixir of life
>something that can literally kill you if too much is ingested

maybe leave that last sentence out

I don't think that caffeine made me the way I am, there's other factors in life that make you the way they are, and a good cup of coffee always brings me a smile in this day and age, especially if I brew a fantastic dark roast.
>tl;dr Coffee makes me happy, OP is just a faggot

I think it's the workplace, not the coffee

You people are pathetic, the doom of your generation. Not only not ashamed of your "neuroses", you parade them around in lieu of personality. Snowflakes, proud to be pathetic. Hiding behind non-existant diseases of the mind because you're lazy cowards looking for excuses.

What do you mean by stimulating media? I already meditate and have cut out sugar but I'm horribly addicted to coffee, have quit before though so I know I can do it again

nein, mein freund, I simply acknowledge the fact that I am plagued by anxiety, insecurity, fear, and near insanity sometimes
But what keeps my spirit alive is by enjoying what I love and working on what I want, which is ultimate fitness and the captain's in the cockpit of a Boeing 787 or an Airbus A350

Smell my fucking vagina, nerd.

I drink coffe everyday.
Still no social anexiety

wtf is wrong with

Coffee should always be consumed together with carbohydrates to avoid spikes in cortisol.

>coffee is the cure for autism
no you're just autistic, user

half of millenials are self diagnosing themselves with mental conditions to excuse the fact they're too fucking pussy and lazy to develop social skills of your own. Every neet and social anx. identifying loser is just too lazy to actually make friends because they don't care about themselves and want pity

wanna c what i look like under my cloths

Have one of you tried talk to yourselves in front the mirror? It gives you some confidence thought

I was born in 1997, I am not a millennial at all, I'm just acknowledging that I have issues but I still keep going as I can for my career, fitness, and hobbies

you're probably naked under there you slut

It tells you exactly how to meditate, the stages you'll pass through, the problems you'll expect while doing so and how to solve them. I used to meditate on and off for a year or so but this doesn't work, meditation needs to be a daily habit because you are changing unconscious processes, quite literally changing the synaptic pathways of the brain. Since reading this book I've sustained my practice for over two months straight, never missing a single day, it's all thanks to advice in the first chapter.

If even this book doesn't cut it for you, you might need to go to a meditation center and get direct instruction. I hope you find your way, my friend.

Thank you, friend. And thanks for the stupid fucking book for gay retards that you want me to read for some reason. It's a big help.

Wallowing in self-pity for attention, any notice of your existence eagerly grasped for validation. Jerking each other off in your Internet hugbox, propping up your inadequacies. Easier than facing and overcoming them. You're women.

They aren't brainlets, they're usually compensating for shit sleep habits. Plus, a huge proportion of American professionals use coffee daily and are quite successful.

Based.

I couldn't be a pilot as I'm colourblind, so I build long range fpv UAVs now.

Did you experience digestive immotility?
If so, what did you do to fix it?
t. Quit coffee a year ago, and gut is perma-slow fiber or not.

maybe don't go cold turkey, drink one cup of coffee every 2 days, or smthing like that.
But to be honest, you're already 5 days in, I don't think there are too many withdrawal symptoms to be had at that point... and if you're craving coffee simply drink anything else, like any type of tea + milk (not black obviously because it has caffeine).

>decaf
it still has caffeine though, Idk how much but it has. I think 1/4 of a regular coffee

You're a retard, fuck off. I was literally diagnosed with social phobia and depression at one point in my life. And no, I'm not blaming anyone about it.

You're so stupid that a thread about trying to make our situation better, where we're literally taking about how to reduce our anxiety it's a indicative of being pathetic and "looking for excuses". An excuse would be looking for something to blame that we could not change, like: I'm like this because my parents made me like this, so now I do nothing.
What we're doing in this thread is actually the opposite, you're literally contradicting yourself.
If you're so "not pathetic" then what the fuck are you doing in Jow Forums?

But I just bought a Nespresso

Lmao I feel better when I drink coffee
Just lol at denying yourself this great pleasure

Lmao I feel better when I shoot heroin
Just lol at denying yourself this great pleasure

Fuck you I'm trying this
I won't cut coffee, that's dumb, but I'll cut sugar and see if it helps

>social phobia because you're too big of a faggot watching porn more than you talk to people
>wonders why you have "anxiety" because you're so incredibly lazy to work on yourself
>t.the generation who wants everything handed to them

>t. Generation that squandered everything given to them

Is this a meme? There's so much support for it that I am just not sure anymore.

My problem is not even "anxiety". Maybe it is. I don't know how to call it, but I just feel my mind is way too fast. Way too many different thoughts going at the same time at any point in the day. I am not sure if that is what being anxious means. I'm not expecting anything, it's just too many random thoughts that I can't even understand. It is especially bad when I am trying to sleep but it also gets on the way of concentration at work.
It especially takes a hit on my will to do anything productive. Taking deep breaths can help, but it gets to such a chaotic point I don't even have the will to concentrate on taking deep breaths, I just end up half-assing everything and eating a lot of sugar when I get home.
This is pretty much the problem of my life and it'd help me wonders if some user had similar experiences and knew the solution. I'm very sure coffee is not the problem here since I felt this much before drinking coffee.

>>Social anxiety from a drink
You faggots need to grow the fuck up and look the real world in the eye. You think when gramps was fragging Nazis he gave a fuck about social anxiety. No fucking way get a job you louse.

ever tried mindfulness meditation?

amazon.com/Reclaim-Your-Brain-Thoughts-Control/dp/1594632979
I wouldn't say no to considering medication either

I don't have time to meditate, my life is quite fast paced to be honest
Will have a look at your book though thanks

You don't have 15 free minutes in some of your days?

I guess I have free time at night, but isn't it too late by then? All my important tasks, such as college and work, will have already passed by.
