Coffee :(
The "virus wombo combo" of mono and COVID fucked a lot of things up permanently, but most of them have rebounded to an acceptable state. Whenever I drink coffee it fucks me up, even decaf coffee. Makes me feel tired as hell, stressed, overstimulated. It also seems to last for almost a full day. Drink coffee in the morning, and I have a big chance of sleeping badly.
Not that it's guaranteed to hold me back...
Every now and then the sane part of my brain forgets to pay attention and my coffee craving gets the better of me.
Do other cafinated drinks have the same effect?
Not nearly as bad, if at all. I drink a lot of tea on work days (probably over a liter) and have never had issues with that. I don't regularly drink energy drink or cola etc, but he times that I had them also didn't have the same effect.
While caffeine also doesn't necessarily make my body happy, I do think that there's something else that upsets my body when drinking coffee. Maybe something to do with dehydration or histamine intolerance. Idk.
Edit: hmmm but apparently black tea and green tea are also high in histamine and I drink a lot of that. It remains a mystery
Hmm, interesting, that is indeed quite a mystery.
