Cutting out the caffeine can make you depressed too, depending on how much of it you use to drink. But, it sure won't cure depression. If it were that easy we would all be caffeine free. I am sorry you feel so down on life, there are free clinics you can go to to get help. Have you tried you local mental health department?

If you recently cut out the caffiene, you might be going through withdrawals. That can feel pretty much like a mild depression, so try to tough it out for a while and see if things level out.

I agree about finding some help though...there are free and sliding-scale clinics in many areas.

It takes time to get the caffine jitters out of your life, I've found that keeping up some exercise helped. We LIKE you !

I used to think my life hated me, too. Then, someone showed me that I have the ability to love myself; that if I was the least bit willing to try, I could move out of the "hating my life" place to the "live gives me joy" place. Like anything else, it is something that can be learned. This site helped me learn many good things, which I use on a daily basis.
