Experiment
Yesterday, I didn't need coffee. But I took a couple of cups anyway because I was feeling a little worn out because new meds.
Today, when I don't have to drive, I am having a No Coffee Day. If I wish to have a hot beverage, I will return to my childhood comfort - tea.
There's little that can't be fixed by a nice hot cup of tea. Ask Douglas Adams and The Doctor.
For me, tea is relaxing. It's the calm-me-down rather than the pick-me-up. BUT... if I can cut down my coffee intake, then I can maybe tone down the anxiety and then maybe not need the little green pills that make me feel all worn out all the time.
Fingers crossed.
Anxiety is a vicious cycle that's hard to stop, sometimes.
Let's hope I can put a soft brake on this one.
