Why am I so depressed and derealized?
So, i started feeling weird one day, thinking there was something wrong with my heart. Turns out it was an anxiety attack. (It came and it went). After years of drinking 2/4 cans of energydrinks a day, i decided to cut down/quit.
The first few days, i only had one can (gradually sipping through the day), to other drinks with less caffeine. I was already used to the withdrawal headaches and fatigue.
But the thing i did not see coming was the derealization and the depression, and i’m almost convinced my quitting has nothing to do with this.
I drank a cup of coffee again 2 days ago, after a few days of no/minimal caffeine, and i got an anxiety attack again. And it was a bad one. Yesterday i felt very tired and depressed, and today i feel like it’s even worse. When i’m outside nothing feels real.
Is this part of it? How long does it take? I need someone to talk to about this.
