This is a caffeine free update. I have decided to make this my last boring update. Going forward, I’ll only post meaningful updates.
My sleep schedule has basically leveled out. The headaches are almost non-existent now. The memory and attention problems are coming around. I’m doing much better without caffeine.
Memory
One thing I have noticed is my short term memory is pretty horrible lately. I was in the shower two days ago and thought that I forgot my washcloth so I got out, dripped on everything in the bathroom, grabbed my washcloth, got back into the shower only to find another washcloth exactly where I always put it – draped over the shower head. It was there the entire time. What was I thinking? I also forget what I’m thinking about sometimes and forget what I was going to say. It’s frustrating. I actually think this is due to sleep abnormalities. I believe it will even out over time.
Emotion
I still feel a lack of emotion and excitement. I have two feelings: chilled out and frustrated. I’m either mellow or I’m bothered by something. That bothers me. See… there I go again! =)
Conclusion
Look up the symptoms of adrenal exhaustion and see if you relate to them. Coffee can throw your entire body out of whack. I know it’s natural but it’s still a drug. It forces your body into a state it would not be in with any other food. If you quit caffeine, you’ll have a few days of headaches, and few days of being tired, and then everything is alright again. The difference is that you’ll feel like yourself again.
