Yeah I can't drink coffee anymore. Fucks up my entire day with intense stress ans a worn out feeling after a single cup. Though it seems to vary greatly. Every now and then I "forget" this and suffer again

Every now and then I “forget” this and suffer again
understandable, happens to me too
All you gotta do is add a shot of whisky or brandy alongside the espresso that's all. It will calm you right down.....
four shots
little coffee
Uh
Holy shit, I can't be reading that right. FOUR espresso shots?
The issue isn't your anxiety, it's your completely unhinged idea of what a cozy little coffee is.
That's close to the FDAs safe reccomended daily limit for caffeine, of fucking course you're gonna spike your anxiety.
It depends on your tolerance, really. I drink about 48-64oz of coffee a day and it doesn't have any negative effects on me.
But I do have ADHD, so my body's response to stimulants is different.
Can confirm. 30mg of Adderall makes me want a nap
For real, sleeping with a quiet mind is so good.
I can watch my heart rate actually lower when I have my first cup (from low 70s to high 50s)
i actually misread the comic as "four little sips" at first.
No it's not..? Like not even close. The FDA safe limit is 400 mg. So 4 shot sis like half the daily recommended.
At 256 mg of caffeine it's slightly over the single serving recommendation. Which is 200.
And that's just the recommended. The safe limit is 700-800g a day.
Seriously unless your have a caffeine sensitivity 300-400 mg a day should literally be nothing to most people over a 12 hour period.
The comic says in 30 minutes.
Edit: and from what I'm seeing online, depending on some factors like the type of beans used, four espresso shots could end up around 300mg. 3/4 of the daily reccomended limit in 30 minutes is going to be tough on most people, especially to someone looking at it "as a treat" instead of just their regular coffee/caffeine for the day.
I work in tech and I can't drink alcohol, so I'm no stranger to caffeine. It's one of a few vices available to me. But I'm not going to pretend that my worst of drinking 64oz of coffee, a caffeinated soda or two, and a caffeinated mint is normal. Or that wouldn't make me feel ill if I did it all in 30 minutes even with my tolerance.

I learned the hard way that my limit is one and a half. The half means “sometimes, a second shot is fine, sometimes NOT”
My soul loves coffee. My stomach demands I can only drink tea 😭 chai lattes are pretty fire though
I grew up in a strong Black Tea for breakfast kinda household, and putting milk in it was pretty frowned upon because that's what Kazakhstan People (?) do. (My parents are racist in ways most people couldn't even comprehend) So I only tried Chai Latte kinda recently, but compared to coffee it just lacks depth and tastes kinda watery to me. Which I'm pretty sad about since I'm not supposed to drink coffee at the moment ;_;
Theres a south Asian store around the corner from me so im always stocked up on chai. When I work from home its basically all I drink during the day.
pretty good way to summarize my opinion of it as well :3
Meanwhile, I slam 300mg in an energy drink and take a nap about 2 hours later...
Do you have ADHD?
I may have a touch of the ADHD, but never been diagnosed.
I've worked 3rd shift for over a decade & have cultivated my circadian arrythmia to the point where I can sleep 2 hrs and feel well rested or sleep 14 hours and be tired, but I don't get to pick which one I get.
Odd, I didn't know I had another lemmy account or that I've worked 3rd shift for over a decade. But the circadian arrhythmia describes me perfectly.
I'm in this post and I don't like it... Now excuse me while I fight to awaken from a 16 hour nap and desperately try to get to work on time.
LOL lightweight.
Coffee gives me acid gut and the shits these days no matter what type I try.
Ah... THAT explains the name
the shits
I thought that's why we drink coffee, no?
Coffee in the morning is a very nice regulator to keep me on schedule.
There are some nice decaf coffees out there if you like coffee but don't want the caffeine. Almost anything using the CO2 process will be pretty great.
thanks :) i will look into it when i have some time for it :D
Whatever we do, folks, let’s avoid at all costs discussing the condition of that toilet.
Don't ever turn on the bidet too early!
I wish I could handle coffee :(
Me too. I still drink it, but I wish I could handle it.
i got used the jitterness the more i drank it, i dont drink everyday. i get more excitable and jittery from milk tea though
at least it seems to be a widespread phenomenon. i could always handle coffee easily, drank 3 of them along the day. now i can't even handle a small sip or my heart starts to race. idk why that is.
Don't mix caffeine and sugar is typically the best advice in that instance.
The way to get past the bad part is to remember than you WON'T remember the lesson and you'll have the moment of enjoyment with coffee again.
