I don't consider myself a coffee junkie. Tuesday-Friday and Sunday, at exactly 1:50 pm before I start work I, drink one 8 oz. cup of coffee. Black. With two packets of Equal. Around five I have another cup. Sometimes just half a cup depending on how I'm feeling. I drink tons of water or vitamin water during the day too. So, I think it was Wednesday last week that I realized the sinus-headaches I thought I had, might have actually been extremely bad caffeine headaches. Or at the very worst, caffeine withdrawal headaches. I've been getting those hammering-god-want-to-die kind of headaches that force you to take in gulps of air and chug two cups of water to feel better. Even more annoying, I kept wanting to drink coffee.
So okay, sounding like a coffee junkie...
The last two weeks have been insanely stressful. I wasn't sleeping well and I refused to take my sleeping medication. It knocks me out and I'm groggy for days and life is horrible. There is nothing worse than NOT being able to wake the hell up. So to counter-attack how half-comatose-ness, I'd down at least three cups of coffee in the hours between 1 and 8 pm. Looking back, I realize I mighta been overdoing it.
What's weird is when I'm at home and have a day off work I don't even go near coffee. I don't even own a coffee maker. Sometimes I catch myself wanting coffee but mostly just for the taste of it though. Anyway, after experiencing the over-caffeinated-head-pains-from-hell last week I cut myself off. From Thursday to Monday I didn't drink any coffee and when I went out and passed by coffee shops, I didn't buy or want any coffee. I had to actually fight back the urge to gag at the smell. Today at work was even worse. I wanted a cup of coffee before I was off the elevator to the office. I made a cup, same as usual, but it was almost 3:25pm by this time because I had a later shift today. I couldn't even fill the cup. So I settled on half. I WANTED the coffee but I also wanted a Coke way more XD;;;. I got to my desk and let the coffee sit until it was barely warm and I couldn't bring myself to take a sip. I finally gave in (I felt bad for wasting the Styrofoam) and put a ton of vanilla creamer into and managed to drink it. I got a headache about 20 minutes later.
W. T. F?
It feels really lame and damn stupid to suddenly develop some sort of sensitivity to coffee. I've been drinking it for the last fives years. I LIKE coffee. Maybe it's just the weather? I don't know. Maybe my body is tired of the coffee every single day. No idea. But I have a huge issue with having food/liquid incompatibilities. I keep craving a Coke, but knowing there's caffeine in it has me nervous to drink one. I do not need another OC thing to deal with. To this day I can't figure out why the hell I'm allergic to corn, but I am. I thought at first maybe I just didn't like it. But I don't like onions and I eat those just fine in food. But just the smell of corn, or knowing it's IN food, makes nauseous to the point I have to lay down or risk puking. But I can still eat popcorn. If I even see yellow chunks in food and I think it's corn, I can't eat the damn food.
Guh.
I'm getting a vanilla latte on the way to work tomorrow to test this again. I love my lattes. It's almost Pumpkin Spice latte season too. I will be majorly pissed if my body bitches out now... Oh wait, they can do decaf lattes XD;;. But wtf is the point of coffee with out the energy spike {:|?
*grits teeth* Damn I like, want some coffee now...
