    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.

      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.
