Decaf - anyone here not on caffeine?

Miranda might help.

I don't understand how but I will give it a watch...

Maybe it's Miranda Priestly

Yikes.
Then you're going to need beer not caffeine.

Stopped at the doctor. She took some blood for a thyroid test, gave me a box of Zoloft. Says I seem depressed and anxious, sending me to see a therapist, told me not to read the news so much. Said caffeine could exasperate the problem but isn’t the root cause. Explains the lack of energy and motivation.

I don’t know, I don’t feel like my life is bad enough for me to be all depressed about it. I have a lot of good things going for me, and everyone is dealing with some degree of suck, right? I just don’t feel entitled to be a “depressed” person.

Still going avoid caffeine for a while longer to see what difference it makes.

I'm running the same tests because I've been feeling burnt out for some time now. Doctor suspects a magnesium deficiency or something is wrong with thyroid.

French press :vomit:
Get an Aeropress and then see your coffee addiction suddenly take off.

What's the difference?

Careful here. There are two uses of the word "depression":
1) The colloquial use, i.e. I think you ought to know, I'm feeling very depressed...
2) The clinical use, which is a collection of symptoms which may include the above, but doesn't necessarily. There's a long list of symptoms, and you need a subset of them for the diagnosis. Check this list, for example.

What's the difference?

French press, insipid/dishwater flavour, Aeropress rich vibrant flavour. Also easier to transport and no glass beaker to break.

I was down to 1 cup a day and now I'm trying to do 1 day on / 1 day off
