Method #1: Limiting Caffeine Intake

I have real bad anxiety. It's not obvious to everyone around me, but my heart races a lot, and my mind races even faster. Much faster. This is why I have issues during sex sometimes; I can't turn off my brain!

Caffeine heightens my anxiety, but I'm a caffeine junky and can't function without it. However, I'm committed to fixing this problem, so I cut all caffeinated beverages out of my diet. For three days I didn't have a drop, and I was a tired, crabby, lethargic prick. Thank the lord I accidentally drank some caffeinated tea. It was "lemon lift." That sounds herbal, right? Nope.

I immediately felt better. I was working on a creative project with some friends, and all of a sudden I was more upbeat, contributing more, and just . . . happier.

I can't cut caffeine. I just can't. But, I'm committing to stopping after 2PM every day. I just need that diet pepsi after lunch.
