Because you’re addicted to the point that you’re physically dependent on caffeine to be able to function. As an experiment try going three days without it and see if you can endure the withdrawal symptoms. It takes around a week to get over the worst part, around a month to get over the worst cravings, three months to feel better and around a year for your body to reach a new baseline. The advantage is feeling well when you wake up, having stable energy throughout the day until you go to bed, better sleep and feeling more relaxed and present in your surroundings.

Drug addiction at its cutest.
What actually does to me
Me with ADHD meds.
i really dislike what caffeine does to me. it makes me uncontrollably fast, and not really in an energetic way, just a rushed way. i also dislike the sensation physically. there’s just something deeply off about being on caffeine for me. i get a visceral “this is not right” feeling, not like dread but sort of in that direction, and it takes hours to fade.
i guess it’s because i feel the need to control myself all the time to feel safe, and caffeine takes away some self-control and makes me more impulsive. thus i associate caffeine with a vague badness, and hence the dread-like feeling.
or maybe it’s my heart telling me it’s a bad idea. i did have a heart valve repair as a newborn baby and maybe i should check it out again.
Is that your experience when you have it in the morning or is it used to stave off sleepiness later in the day/night? Because that experience sounds a bit like me with sleep deprivation. “This isn’t right” paranoia. I don’t associate it with caffeine because I know it’s masking the sleepiness and it’s the sleepiness causing the paranoia. Like one time, I got paranoid that the face in the constellation of Taurus was watching me. Totally illogical and a sign to pack it in and quit stargazing for the night.
I’m just curious. I drink it a lot. It’s a tool. Whether it works or it’s a placebo slotted into a natural cycle, I’ll never know, because it makes me happy and I continue the routine.
just whenever. i tried a glass of iced coffee in the morning for a while and that still negatively impacted me. but i also failed to mention that i am diagnosed with schizophrenia and medicated, which obviously feeds into the feeling of safety and delusory aspects.
You’re describing what most people have from too much caffeine. So maybe your tolerance is just much lower. Or maybe you chug coffee like crazy.
i don’t drink any coffee or cola or energy drinks or black/green tea because of these effects. i guess I’m just very sensitive.
Well this is adorable
