Do you like coffee? It’s not fool proof, but I basically bribe myself with coffee. I got one of those coffee makers that you can set to brew at a certain time. I’m much more likely to lurch into the kitchen at some point if I know I have coffee already waiting, if only because I hate wasting it.
ETA I kinda recommend going half-caf if you do this though, because caffeine dependence won’t help you in the long term. I’m suggesting motivating yourself with something tasty, not making your heart race 24/7
L-theanine stops the conversion of dopamine into adrenaline. This is why green tea isn’t as stressful an experience as black tea or coffee. You can buy l-theanine tablets all over the place. I take one with coffee every time and that has resovled the issue of coffee stressing me out.

I do indeed like coffee, but unfortunately (please don’t laugh) I can only drink decaf now because regular ☕️ will sometimes trigger a panic attack. 🙁
Hey that’s completely fine, I just quit coffee some weeks ago. It’s sooo much better for the ol’ anxiety
Not laughing at all, I think it’s great that you identified the trigger and had the willpower to cut it out of your life.
