There is a bar at this meeting, which never happens. The plot thickens.

 

I tried to quit caffeine like 4 days ago and it ruined me, now im back

 

I was a daily coffee drinker for 13+ years and somehow was able to quit. I was just in a bad mood for 3 days.

I realized that when I drank coffee, I was still just as tired. I just felt more jittery and anxious.

I will occasionally get a small cup at work for the 2 days a week I'm in the office. Maybe it helps me a bit more on those days now that my body isn't used to it as much. Or it's just a placebo effect.

 

I hate how anxious I get waiting around for something. My fantasy football draft is at 8 and I can’t focus or do anything because I’m just waiting around for it. I’m trying to watch a movie and can’t focus at all.

 

Hope you’re getting support. Is it mostly back to school stuff?

 

Well I was anxious all night until I went to my buddy’s house for the draft and had one of the better nights of the last few months so that makes up for it some what.

 

IDK. It’s been hard for me to identify what exactly is causing it but back to school is part of it. I guess I don’t do well with change. Having time with my kids all summer and getting that taken away really sucks.

 

Had an MRI that thankfully came back fine, but I apparently have a 6mm cyst at the back left of my nose and now my brain is swirling over wtf it is

 

Ayy just doing an MRI would give me a panic attack. I’m sure it’s nothing!!

 

I got them to play me some Paramore over headphones so it was no sweat lmao

 

Day 2 of brupoprion let's go

 

i’m on week 4ish it’s been very good

 

I don't know how to stop being an asshole. I'm so negative about everything. I've been trying for years but there's clearly something fundamentally wrong with me.

 

How do I fix myself? Why do I hate everything that brings people joy? Therapy for decades hasn't done enough, neither has medication. I just don't understand why I'm like this.

 

I’ve done 3 MRIs and it’s hell every time, even with Valium. I hate riding elevators even, though, so.

 

I avoid elevators all the time.

 

I have this ALL the time. I really hope it goes away for you because I know how fucking awful it is to feel this way.

 

In NYC last week for work and the client was on the 45th floor, thought I was gonna freak on the ride up and down.

 

yeah that would fuck me up especially since the ride takes longer and it probably goes really fast lol

huge fear of getting trapped in a broken elevator

 

I had to get an MRI and several scans and tests and shit done while I was in full blown fentanyl withdrawal earlier this year and it was an absolutely miserable experience. I was in the waiting room for like 5-6 hours waiting and getting pulled for the MRI and an xray and some other thing they had to do and blood tests and all that and yeah that was just the beginning of what would turn out to be a real nightmare of a hospital stay which has pretty much made me vow to never go to a hospital again

 

I work at a hotel and I work on the 8th floor, get dressed on the 2nd, and the break room/cafe is on the 6th with parking on 4th so I’m taking elevators all day, but the fun twist is that one of the two we have in back of house breaks down CONSTANTLY. I haven’t been caught on it when it does yet but I’ve only been there six weeks so I’m sure it’ll happen eventually

 

I hate hospitals but I was in and out of them enough growing up that they really don't really phase me. Enough times where when I'm asked if I've ever had an MRI before by the techs I say yeah but I don't remember all of the reasons why lol.

 

You'd hate my apartment then, I've been trapped in ours at least 4 or 5 times haha

 

may god protect you
