Great video. Giving up caffeine was the hardest thing I had ever done (and I have done some hard stuff and gone through hard things). Things started to get really good after 6 months. Before that had real bad depression/anxiety I had never had before. Now after 7 months feels like I’m 95% recovered. There is light at the end of the tunnel.
Thank you so much. I.m nearly 6 month. I can see light and its been hard journey. Some days are still hard and all symptoms are on but juts have to live it through. I send lot of love to everybody.
Man bro you dropped this when i really needed some relief, im almost reaching 90 days and i feel like it’s never gonna end, & hearing this brought me hope! Thanks so much bro!
WOW! Thank you soooo much! Your videos always calm me down! It’s crazy how caffeine withdrawals can be so brutal & scary. But listening to your experiences bring me peace and give me HOPE❣️
I've quit in June and every month I've felt like I gotten through it but the anxiety always comes back. Now at 6 months in I'm having the toughest time due to anxiety which I guess is because of the intrusive thoughts and constant reading through articles. There are good moments and then there are moments I don't feel present enough to enjoy my day. Most difficult period of my life and I'm only 25 YO and I've never had anxiety or depression or intrusive thoughts before. I've only recently quit chocolate bars, I keep telling myself it could be the reason why the anxiety came back hard. If anyone is struggling through this or is just kind enough to share their story of recovery, please reply to this comment so we can connect, I'd honestly appreciate it. I'd also gladly pay you for your time, I just need some reassurance.
Hey klutch….. first let me say that’s it’s 100% the chocolate. So I hope you’ve tapered off of that .. also vitamin waters, certain gums, certain teas and so on… just be careful and read labels… even do your research and if you can’t find something definitive don’t take it stay away from stimulants of any kind.. Drink water sleep and walk.. surround yourself with positivity… you’ll be better soon…
Yeah because they probably just assume your drinking a cup of coffee, but drinking heavy amounts of stimulants is no different then any other drug when you stop.
I'm coming up on 11 months, quit cold turkey. And I gave up all refined sugars like candy and ice cream around the same time, except I tapered off sugar which I wish I did with caffeine. I've just started to drink Holy Basil tea in the evenings and it is calming. Give it a try if your further along in recovery and the anxiety has started to fade a bit. I've read up on adrenal dysfunction which is a big part of caffeine withdrawals, and it takes time for the adrenal system to recover, many months time. For everyone fighting this just be patient with your body, the healing process, and yourself.
@@LrgPicture doing much better anxiety has decreased to the point where it's mostly just annoying and isn't intense or lasts as long. Psychologically I reached a point where I realize I will make it through this and it wasn't going to kill me. I do have to watch sugar intake I realized that I was slowly buying sweets again, a donut here or a cinnamon bun there and then this past week a half gallon of ice cream. I was looking for a dopamine buzz from sugar, and was falling into the same trap. Coffee and sugar combined trigger surges in dopamine, and I was addicted to both. Also been taking chelated magnesium which is calming, and 2grams of vitamin c daily. Going through withdrawals the body burns through vitamin c so you need more of it.
@@richardwrynn824 that’s so good to hear… I’m so very happy for you and your progress…I just had a hiccup.. I took a stimulant and didn’t realize it was… immediately regretted it… it’s been about a week and so I’m getting better but I swear anxiety is for the birds! Absolutely hate it…. You’re right about sugar too… stimulant dopamine hits… smh.
This is encouraging. I'm a month off caffeine and I thought it was over lol ..sometimes I have difficulty sleeping along with sensations of panic and chest and throat tightness
Approaching two years on this journey, you were such a large help at the beginning and I’m doing so much better! We need to catch up soon, Cato! I appreciate you so much! - Kyle
J C I’m going to be honest, it took a while. What I will tell you is that everyone’s experience is different, but the end result is the same - you come back. Slowly but surely. Just know you are going to be in for a rollercoaster ride. When you’re at the top, you’re gonna come down. And when you’re down, just know you’re going to come up. Sometimes the rise and drops are large or small. It’ll all happen until the ride is over and you can get off
@@StinjaProductions that's one of the best ways I've heard it explained. I'm on day 92, just had about a week of feeling great. Excitement, imagination, energy, sleeping well. I would have small waves of weirdness here and there, but overall great.... BUT today, tiredness, dizziness, blurry vision, a little anxiety. Just feel off. It's the worst I've felt in a month. Not where I was, but a bad dip. Just enjoying the ride.
Love your channel bro.... I was living life going to the gym, Going out with friends... Then about six months ago this Anxiety hit me hard out of nowhere, Haven't been my self ever since.... So I'm trying to figure out if it was all the caffeine I was putting in my body for year's or the alcohol or both
Hey did you expirience like you felt normal but at night suddenly you feel like u goona die or are semiasleep and you tremor up or feel like u jitter and wake up rightaway??
drippxzzz YaBoy I had that the first 2 months really bad , now that I’m at 5 months I have it once in a while. It’s anxiety but it really sucks I know how you feel
Is it normal to feel derealization/disconnect from reality and feel off balance when giving up caffeine? I am at month two was drinking pre workout, two monsters and a cup of coffee daily!
Still feeling bad but better then before, feels like i get hit with burst of adrenaline at random and feel borderline psychotic a few times a day it lasts like ten minutes. Also having heart palpitations and blood pressure fluctuations honestly my symptoms are identical to catos!
@@matthaines4249 hey, how are you doing now? I'm at 2 months now. I've been dissociating ever since quitting caffeine. I'm disconnected from myself. Are u still going through it?
Can anyone list in detail what their caffiene overdose symptoms and experience was like for them. Im trying to figure out if I had one from jt which leads me to quitting cold turkey and may be why I am having such bad symptoms now.
@@vanessajacobs9181 some days better some days still crap . on just over 3 months since withdrawal started.. off caffeine now since December . So we see by March how I feel . You improving ?
It’s been almost two months with stomach issues gas and stomach cramps and really really bad anxiety I need help is that normal to happen need help please
Anxiety was all gone by the first 6 months even a little less for me but i am 19 years old woke as Fuck so it may not be as fast for everyone Speaking for mans semen retention seems to accelerate the recovery time
