I know this is silly, but I figured I would share. For those of you who drink soda or coffee or anything like that. You should think about rducing your caffiene intake and in exchange drink caffiene free pepsi or coke. It tastes the same as other coke or pepsi, just without the head trip from the caffiene. I am having a silly day trying to regroup from my recent suicidal bout. I am not suicidal much anymore since thanks to you guys I let my husband have the what for! I told him he was an asshole for discouraging me and he should never ever tell me anything's not worth doin again, and the next time he does he will be sleepin on the couch and in the dog house! Lots of luv to ya all princess

Some days I feel I need to keep away from cofee, of course being a brit, I have tea but that's full of it also. Do you know if green tea has less caffeine? When I'm feeling a bit sensitive, I switch to that.

Mostly I drink bottled water. Every now and then I drink diet coke, but I have to have 2 cups of coffee in the morning or I just can't function.

there's green tea with no caffiene. Try Lipton Green Tea with citrus. I am saying that Caffiene free pepsi and coke tastes just as good as the stuff that does have caffiene. I am not allowed much caffiene either. Lots of luv to you all.

Caffeine actually helps me be less anxious so I'm figuring I've got some ADHD traits somewhere

I will drink my diet Coke with caffein until they peal it from my dead cold hand. I going to write in my will that they include a 12 pack with me when I am buried.

Just incase the Egyptians were correct.

You might be giving up caffeine when you switch to diet soda but you're gaining a nasty ingredient called aspartamine....you might as well go and drink draino instead

    I find myself going places in the car and not wanting to get out of the car. I come back home and I don't want to get out of the car. I think it's the only time I spend reflecting. Chronic tiredness from Long Covid plus the immunosupressing meds for my Crohn's is slowing me down but everything just seems a massive effort. I am dealing with the paperwork following my father's death but it's not...

    Wow, it's the middle of the week already!Today is our 11 year anniversary, so we're going out to a nice dinner.  I'm losing a lot of sleep these days, hence a wonky schedule and uncomfortable feelings.  But I know it will pass, eventually.I hope all of you have a peaceful day, and may good things come your way!
