what I did yesterday:
- woke up, consumed 200mg caffeine to not pass out immediately
- took the prescribed max dosage of antidepressants
- went to uni, cried
- went home, cried
- took my ‘emergency’ antianxiety pill
- went to work, cried so hard I got sent home after an hour
- went home again, cried
- took 2 (different) antianxiety pills
- went to bed, couldn’t sleep, took melatonin every 30 minutes till I passed out at 5pm
This person coffees.
As a personal anecdote, I’ve had tight deadlines with way too much caffeine and way to little sleep a few times in my life, and they all fucked me up.
Now, if I’m burning the candle at both ends, I’ll limit my caffeine to 2-300mg spread over a day, and stop at least 6h before sleeping. Much less fucked up. The world does not get better if you suffer for no reason, and you always would have needed just 3 more days.
