When I was a kid (and for a long while afterwards) I could drink like 8 mountain dews and feel absolutely nothing. Now that I’m an adult with anxiety, this isn’t the case. I’ve had to limit myself to one caffeinated drink a day and that’s only if I’m doing something like working or studying and have to be attentive for long hours. Recently my anxiety has been worse and now I can’t even do that. I had a few sips of a caffeinated soda and it made me spiral having super bad anxiety. Also, recently the same is with sugar, or at least is triggers my anxiety a little but not as badly as caffeine.

Do other people get this reaction? Please let me know.
