Forum:
I developed a caffeine addiction in 2020 when I started drinking coffee every day, and had enough money to start buying energy drinks. I felt like it helped with my anxiety, and I was yet to be diagnosed with ADHD, and given the medication I needed, people with ADHD will often use caffeine as a way to self-medicate. It was also something I used for comfort, and a way to not feel hungry in the worst of my eating disorder (I'm doing better now).
That being said, I haven't gone a day in about three years without starting my day with coffee or an energy drink, and it's starting to affect my body. At this point in my life, I usually have coffee and a soda every day, there was a point where I was drinking 3-6 cups of coffee a day on an empty stomach, and adding a diet soda on top of that.
I would like to be able to go a day without having caffeine or getting a bad headache, and giving in.
Thank you for reading my rant, any advice would be much appriciated.
