My tactic of drinking a fuck ton of coffee to help me write has backfired intensely : chapotraphouse

we should all do stimulants together

The Stimulant Council, whose combined knowledge and alacrity allows for rapid breakthroughs (within a certain time window, after which the breakthroughs drop off considerably)

Reminds me of the Ballmer Peak xkcd gag.

I feel that, I'm super easily overstimulated by caffeine and theobromine, it's so fucking evil

Some more anxiety tips:

-Be cold, can’t feel your shakes when your shivering

-Splash cold water on face, slap your vagus nerve in the face.

Yeah, I'm the same. I've been doing ice coffees, but I think it's just the sugar energizing me.

Do you have ADHD? Stimulants don't work for people with ADHD

Yeah it's of course an oversimplification, but with a sample size of approximately 5 all of the people I know with ADHD told me that coffee/energy only calms them down

[–] whogivesashit@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 10 months ago

I mean stimulants are what they give you to treat ADHD. Adderall, Vyvanse etc.

Many undiagnosed adhd people self medicate with smoking and coffee.

In my experience caffeine does help, but not as much. I find tea to be better than coffee.

Nicotine was honestly the most effective outside of controlled substances, but a nasty habit so I gave it up.

Can confirm, I sometimes chug an energy drink to quiet my brain for a nap. I also don’t recommend anyone do this

[–] BashfulBob@hexbear.net 3 points 10 months ago

Never.

Stop.

Pooping.
