    One day at work I literally had the thought that I should make another cup of coffee to calm my nerves before a presentation. Then I thought about how dumb that is, and did it anyways.

      Caffeine addiction is so normalized that we seldom think in the moment about if caffeine makes our anxiety worse - we just want to not be so tired

        It, in fact, did not calm my nerves. I got through it though!

        I was in bad shape either way, at least I got that smooth robust flavor.

        9/10 would do again.

          Glad you did!

          Yesterday, i pressed the wrong buttons and ended up with a latte without coffee. So i decided to add a double espresso, instead of “boring” coffee.

          I definitely got the other, rather hard, robust flavor and my senses only stopped tingling after i had drunk at least a bottle of water afterwards.

    As of like a week ago caffeine has started making me extremely wired and restless. I don’t know what happened, I just cannot handle the same amounts I used to take just 2 weeks ago. Which sucks because that’s how I had enough energy after work.
