SO tired without caffeine
SO tired without caffeine
Once upon a time I drank 4-shot lattes every morning. I have now been off ALL caffeine for about 2.5 months and find it so hard to get through every day. I have absolutely no energy or motivation to do anything (although I acknowledge that this could also be part of my depression). Has anyone else had this problem when quitting caffeine? If so, how did you perk yourself up?

Re: SO tired without caffeine
Hi Miss,
First, congratulations coming off of the caffeine. That is quite an accomplishment
Second, I would make sure your selftalk around your"energy level" is positive. A lot of us wake up very negative; repeating how tired we are and how long the day is going to be and how we're always going to feel this...you get the picture.
Third, try to get a brisk walk in outside to wake up your senses. Splash some water on your face and start the day quickly. Green tea can be a nice alternative to coffee if you're needing a little spark and you're adrenaline/anxiety levels are under control.
I hope this helps:) Remember, slow and steady wins the race.
