At this point I think the coffee is a habitual crutch. It started as a way for me to focus and it was readily available. At this point, my brain just reaches for coffee when I get stressed.
If I can find a decaf coffee that tastes good, I'll have to give that a try, thanks.
Epic- I'm open to talk in more detail, if you're at all interested. Maybe i havent heard of some of the ways to cope you have come across.
It's also pretty likely we have reacted differently to similar stimuli. My doctor has more than once called my case "out of the norm" and "atypical". I'm pen to discuss that in more detail too though.
