look at me, listen to me, trust me:

as somebody who is currently living through the worst trauma and depression of my life, i gotta tell you:

you cannot live on coffee

coffee cannot be your replacement for sleep or nutrients. it will become less effective over time and mess up your endocrine system (the system responsible for hormone and sleep regulation). your stress and anxiety will increase and you may put your heart and kidneys at risk. you also might shit yourself sometimes

this may all seem very obvious but its possible to be in the mindset where Living On Coffee makes sense to you

what i'm saying is coming from a place of experience. and love. you cannot live on energy replacements. no matter how tasty

eat veggies. drink water. sleep. you can do other things, you can indulge, i promise! just please, do basic self care too

#same applies to colas and energy drinks. except those are worse for you #colas are worse for your teeth and energy drinks are worse for your heart #in fact you might get a heart attack #yeah a few years ago i cut back on coffee because i was getting heart pain #but in the last five months i developed a dependence on pepsi and coke and coffee for energy #and in the last couple weeks the coffee thing got worse #and i reached a point where i wasnt even getting energy or even happiness from it anymore #plus my heart was hurting #so im taking a stand. im taking better care of my health. in general #fruits! veggies! showering more! water!#etc and so forth. and no more coffee until i can be trusted to be responsible with it #if it sounds like im describing drug addiction. then yeah #this behaved like text book drug addiction. even down to being induced by trauma #and me thinking about my next ''fix''' the second i was done with one. no good #except! coffee is waaaay easier to give up. i have painkillers for the headaches. i'll be fine #i've also been eating like shit too. because sad. but i bought healthier and easy to prepare foods #because the human body cannot live on maccas alone. it just can't. i've been having a Bad Time #everything will get a little better over time
