speaking of addiction,
i’ve been carrying around a burden for a while now.
i noticed this particular addiction was syncing with an issue that i have too.
foxhole…
I found myself getting addicted to coffee,
especially Dunkin’ Donuts.
so last weekend,
i ordered an iced coffee from dunkin donuts and fucked up my order.
i ordered my usual:
Lg Iced Coffee
Almond Milk
Coconut Shot
Extra Caramel Swirl
Less Ice
…but in the cold brew version.
i decided to change the order to a medium but didn’t realize it reset my shit.
when i pulled the coffee out the bag:
Why come a medium cold brew WITH NOTHING IN IT arrived???
it was just an all-black iced coffee.
thank God i had caramel creamer in my crib that made it tolerable.
an hour or two later,
that shit decided to ransacked my anxiety.
i haven’t been sleeping because my anxiety has been on 10 these last few weeks.
i couldn’t figure out what was going on,
but after doing research,
i saw that coffee and folks with anxiety don’t go together.
adding the extra shot of espresso was fucking me hard in my ass too.
i learned that cold brew is the stronger form of coffee as well.
i had to wonder if what i thought was food poisoning was a legit anxiety attack over the weekend?
sigh.
i really like it when i’m fully caffeinated BUT i think i have to scale all the way back.
ugh.
stay away from me,
you icey devil.
Maybe you should try some tea for a week and see how that will make you feel. They got all kinds that are flavored so you don’t really have to add much sugar to them (although if you do i would recommend honey and lemon). I personally drink this Purple Acai & Blueberry green tea and add lemon.
^oooh i think i saw that one in the store.
i’ll check it out.
i may try a black tea if i need caffeine.
I stay away from ice coffee.
Yea, cold brew coffee is much stronger & has more caffeine than espresso. Espresso beans are roasted longer which takes more caffeine out of the beans whereas regular coffee beans are roasted less so the caffeine stays intact. Plain espresso may taste stronger but it’s because it’s a concentrated amount of coffee. I learned this from starfucks website many many moons ago.
I love me some coffee but I like it hot and black….
They really sell mud and people drink it haha! Couldn’t be me!
Welcome to my guilty pleasure I love them. Large caramel iced coffee, almond milk with 3 sugars
^i’m TRYING to figure out who i can swing this with anxiety.
