I know that I care about things that I shouldn't way more than the reasonable misstep. I worry about things that most people don't think about on a regular basis. I let myself get so wrapped up what goes on in my head that I often miss what goes on in the world around me

you can quit caffeine. its actually quite easy. i did it about 5 years ago. if you still need a pick me up to get you going. try b vitamins. vitamin water zero revive works for me. ive quit caffeine and aspartame and trust me, it limits your drink choices immensley LOL. i used to daydream of death knowing it was coming soon. since i went on anti anxiety meds it doesnt happen anymore. if you dont want to try meds and og natural. try st johns wort. i tried natural for so many years finally i gave up because it was not working.

I quit a while back, but it is still hard for me to remember why I did it when I'm exhausted all of the time. It's weird to think that, a year and a half ago, I smoked half a pack of cigarettes and drank three cups of coffee a day. Now, I do neither. The only caffeine I take in now is from chocolate. I think that I would like to start drinking at least green tea again, but I don't know. I never know how it is going to affect me. Thanks for the advice. I know that revive always helps me if I have a hangover; so, I'm sure it will help when I'm feeling sluggish.

I have been doing better. I don't want to do meds, but I did go to therapy for a while. I can't do St. Johns Wort because I'm allergic. I have just been trying to increase my B vitamins, keep my mind busy and exercise regularly. It has helped me a lot. I just wish that I could kick the habit of always thinking of the worst case scenario.

I'm offering up a hug and I can't empathsize really. I've always had this switch in my head that only allows me so much worry or nervousness then it just goes click and I'm thinking what's the point of freaking, It'll happen or not. But something will always happen

I think that you can accept that there are things that are out of your control, whereas I struggle with the concept. I always want to be in control and have a hard time accepting that when something bad does happen, it will happen whether I exhausted myself worrying about it or not. It sucks because it impedes the decisions I make sometimes.

If we could mix it together, that would be awesome!
