Drugs, alcohol, and now coffee! I’ve used a variety of substances to self medicate while in a depressed mood. A few years ago I cut out cannabis, and I stay away from using alcohol when I’m down, but I have no limits with coffee. It seems like I can drink as much as I want whenever I want and it doesn’t create the same problems it does when my mood is better.

    The half-time of caffeine in our bodies is pretty long, like 6 hours IIRC. Might affect the quality of sleep even if you manage to fall asleep

      I feel like my sleep is better than normal, nothing is compounding.

      I’m feeling better today finally. Woke up at 8am, energy is good, thinking clearly. Ready to take a break from social media for a while.

        That’s good then. I also love coffee and drink absurd amounts during the day :⁠-⁠)
