horrible caffeine withdrawals; down to half a cup a day.
(posted on Wednesday, February 16 by eii wyy nae.)
so im attempting to cut caffeine out of my diet right now. i started feeling generally icky every time i drank anything caffeinated, which has always been my cue to cut back. when the heart is palpitating daily & the chest pains start i tend to listen. so as i always do, i quit cold~turkey. & as always, on day 2, the crabbiness sets in. needless to say i suggested that mr. man bring home a large coffee so that i could make it through the event. all was well w/ the world as soon as i took the first sip. that was last sunday. today is day 3 & all is still well.
yesterday i woke w/ the most horrific w/drawal headache ever. it was so bad that my vision was being affected. while maaa was driving coco who school to school, the white lines on the road actually looked like they were floating above the road. very trippy. it wasnt working. i ate some cucumbers. still nothing. i could feel the energy, i just wasnt getting any relief @ all. so i did something uncharacteristic of myself. i reached out for help.
i jumped on twitter & put the word out that i could use some extra energy if anyone wanted to share. lo & beehold, i got some responses. some angels from the twitterverse reached back & within 20 minutes my headache was completely gone. i never felt better. the headache was gone, the irritability was gone & the cravings were gone. very trippy.
so as i continue on my way to freedom from the clutches of caffeine, i’ll continue to reach out when things feel out of control for me. reaching out for help used to feel like a sign of weakness & now it just feels empowering. it leaves me feeling like my heart is growing & glowing. healing isnt something ive to do by myself. healing can only happen if i listen to my spirit & hear when she says, "you need help." then i drink decaf & pretend its the real thing. im also getting pretty good @ pretending that decaf is the real thing.
