Energy drinks are really, really bad for you. Try if you can to wean off

Yes, regular tea leaves are full of caffeine too but they don't seem to have quite the same effect on me even if I drink a whole pot of green or black tea.

This is one if those things you always see repeated as fact and it kind if is true but isn’t. A regular British cup of tea has way less caffeine than coffee.

That's why I wear hoodies all the time. I like sunlight, but I hate getting sun directly on my skin or getting tanned.

Wizard hat. Get one

I am actually looking to get a hat in the near future. I have a nice felt hat I kind of like, but years ago when I got it I made the dreadful mistake of getting it in black and it just absorbs all the heat, terrible. I need to become a white-hatted wizard reflecting all the light at passers by.

I have a broad brimmed straw sun hat and one of those roll-up straw visors elderly Chinese ladies wear because i am pale and burn easily. Embrace the hat life.
 
Well, my cat is still missing and it's not looking good, but considering how fat the local stray cats are I hope he just found somebody else to stay with. Hopefully.

I'm beginning to sense a pattern. If I drink an energy drink, or a cup of coffee for that matter, my anxiety spikes and I find myself ruminating more easily.

It's weirdly the opposite for me, energy drinks calm me down, I usually drink one when I'm high anxiety and I just chill out. Maybe it's cause the caffeine does nothing to me? Either way, maybe look into decaf options.

Thread Tax: It's hard to tell when I'm reasonably upset at something or am just a psycho BPD-acting bitch, so I've resorted to just not voicing any of my issues with my friends. It's getting hard to hold in though and I think they're noticing the repressed animosity :(

decaf tastes like ass, I hate it. Better to just avoid it entirely and make it a maximum once a month thing, like I already do with takeout food for example.
Just gotta have an actual backbone, which is something I could stand to develop as a general thing.

I've never noticed a difference personally, idk, maybe I'm just clinically insane

Maybe, my parents always limited my energy drink consumption to like once a month. I never got why, they said "It's bad for you" but when I asked "why?" they would say "It just... Is.". Either way, they stopped caring now and I just have them whenever. But maybe they were onto something.
 
Parents invited me over for dinner. Gonna eat my mom's corned beef and cabbage tonight. I hope she made her sodabread too. If I'm lucky, I'll get some leftovers out of it.

Things are great. Happy St. Patrick's day.
 
I've gotten every fucking cold that's been going around the past 3 weeks and I'm fucking tired of it.

If she did please have an extra slice for me. That stuff is so damn good.

Thread tax: forgive yourself. If you're judging your past through a perspective you have now and you're using a standard you didn't or even couldn't have had back then, that's psychological self-flagellation for no reason. If you fucked up big time and you knew better, consider that the price for learning not to do it again. Either way, let it go.

I understand this now.

Wait is it really that bad? What if I drink one like once a week? I usually dilute it (do NOT judge me) and it lasts 2/3 days... I also take heart medication or blood pressure or whatever (but it's actually for my hair) so I guess I'm going to die?

Relatable, whenever I'm upset with a friend I need to take a VERY deep breath and not say anything. Still working on that. I burned a lot of bridges over the years and I regret it a lot. Just come on over here to the good ol' Kiwi farms and call someone a nigger to blow off some steam.

Edit: Speaking of burning bridges, today I saw one of those people on campus, I was going to say hi but for some reason I didn't. Then I took a different route to the metro station and walked past the house of one of those past friends. So many amazing memories there, like those friendships when you just go to someone's house and it feels like your own home. Just a bunch of nerds playing MtG while others showed each other funny shit on youtube, making dinner, burning said dinner and almost starting a house fire. But unfortunately I cut the whole friend group off completely a few years ago. I don't know what they're up to or if they're all still friends.
I'd like to believe that I made a good decision by separating myself from them, but sometimes I'm not sure and I get this overwhelming dark, heavy feeling in my chest. I miss having a friend group. I miss my fucking nerds.

Allegedly, an energy drink will stay in your body for a week. As in, all of those chemicals and additives that makes an energy drink have an effect on your body won't be fully flushed out of your system for a week.
Mind, I was told this by a nutritionist in a casual conversation and she didn't exactly back any of her claims up with a source.
You're not going to die but as you get older, the negative effects from indulging in energy drinks on the regular will start to have an impact. It's not a guaranteed death sentence of a triple-cancer mere months after you turn 30, but it's something you should potentially be mindful of if you drink five cans of Red Bull every day and have been doing so for years.

Just like everything else in life, moderation is key.
 
Found out my aunt and uncle are getting divorced. I'm glad tbh, despite hating divorce, due to the fact my uncle is a piece of work that burned the bridge with the rest of the family due to his narcissism.
