Was NOT expecting so many to relate to this wow! Thank you all for sharing your experiences, I find it really interesting how majorly different it can be by individual For me, it's a toss up (and depends on amount) if nothing happens, I get more focused, OR I get blasted lol

Seeing how many people, especially with mental health conditions, are negatively effected by caffeine is sad because of how EVERYWHERE it is in the US Fully legal to give to little children and barely any restrictions on it Yet weed and 🍄s are still illegal all over the US 🫢

I can't keep up with every single comment @ this point but I love you all pls stay safe with caffeine use and be kind to your brains and yo each other ❤️

@Dragoncatclem While I don't feel more energetic, it does help me focus. I feel like I have brain fog in the morning without my coffee. But that could just be caffeine addiction from years of drinking it 😅

@Delaxiox Some say caffeine (or weed for others) essentially "connects the dots" that's missing in an ADHD brain, and it's a careful line to tread between "this helps me feel more normal" vs potential for addiction 🫤

@Dragoncatclem For me its like my adhd regresses to my childhood hyper adhd and not my current adult adhd, which tbh is a nice change of pace because it lets me have more fun, though i dont do it often because im not a huge fan of my heart pounding for no reason

@HeivDurr This sometimes happens to me also which can either mean I'm about to have a very productive day or a very unproductive day 😅

@Dragoncatclem All caffeine does for me is makes me focus a pinch more but sometimes it makes me sleepy so I drink it slow and controlled (though I dont drink coffee)

@RoarOmegaRoar60 This HAS to be the reason why I'm very bias to iced coffee

@Dragoncatclem I've never officially confirmed if I have ADHD but yes. If I drink a little coffee, I can rake a nap right after. If I drink a little more, a switch gets flipped and suddenly I am buzzing with productivity and I can feel the caffeine in my brain lol

@KhakiKoyote Honestly kind of a mood. Halfway in to my big mug of cold brew and I'm absolutely chillin. Finishing it? And like a couple hours later? Fuckin wired

@Dragoncatclem If I drink strong enough coffee it cancles my meds and I have the strong ADD stuff happen. You know, can't focus, jittery, loss in short term memory. Coworkers thought I got high or something, but nope just my order got a little mess up and didn't get decaf.

@ErosRaccoon Scary when places aren't careful about that, it can be super dangerous for some people

@Dragoncatclem This is called a paradoxical reaction and it's pretty common in people with neurological differences

@FrostingSloth Interesting!

@Dragoncatclem Wait is that an adhd thing I always assumed caffeine doesn’t affect me cause I’ve had so much of it throughout my life

@HoshMyTots I mean tolerance does still exist yes. And there's not one for sure way ADHD folks are effected

@Dragoncatclem I have a friend who drinks coffeine and gets knocked out from it.

@Dragoncatclem Yes!!

@Dragoncatclem Yup :(
