Hmmmm.

I think I might need to stop drinking coffee. This induces panic in me, making me wonder how I'm going to stay awake through my workday. However, the physiological effects are starting to take their toll - I can feel my muscles bunching and trying to pull away from the bone as I finish my second cup. That area in my chest that tightens whenever I haven't eaten enough/am too stressed/whatever - the place that makes it feel like I have rebar sticking through my torso and/or am having a heart attack - that's playing up, too.

It's not like the servings are huge, either. I take in probably 12 oz. of coffee total, and always before 10 a.m., else I can't sleep at night. This is ridiculous.

But the muscle bunching? So not fun. I'll try cutting down first, see if that works.


Eh. It's a small thing in the grand scheme of things.

Not to be pushy, but have you tried real tea? Like a nice loose leaf blend rather than the cheap tea bag version? Maybe you could find an herbal blend that you like so that you can at least have the hot cup of something in the morning without the caffeine.

It's less the hot stuff in the morning and more the "OMG am so tired need to prop up my eyelids w/a toothpick" that's driving the coffee consumption.

S'okay. Thank you, though!
