Unpopular opinion: let’s talk Coffee & anxiety

In an effort to address anxiety, stress, and hormonal acne, I decided to quit coffee, a habit I'd had since 16. The initial two days without it were challenging, marked by headaches and caffeine withdrawal symptoms. However, the benefits soon became evident; I woke up naturally and felt fantastic. I literally woke up before my alarm clock, I’d never felt more energized in the morning. This positive change continued until the pressure of clinicals led me to have coffee again for a boost. The old cravings returned, but I learned to consume it strategically, post-meals with protein to stabilize cortisol and sugar levels. Moreover, I now avoid coffee during anxious periods. Despite the ups and downs, I'm determined to quit coffee entirely again, recognizing its effects on my well-being. Here's to my journey towards a coffee-free lifestyle once more! Wish me luck girls! 💖
