        I’m fairly sure I’m mildly audhd. Not sure if autistic or ADHD (or both) honestly, family never followed up on initial doctor concerns when I was a kid, and I’ve not gotten tested as an adult but have signs of both: focus issues, hyperactivity, eye contact issues, touch sensitivity (I can feel my socks rubbing, pants crinkling at the knee, etc. and it can be seriously distracting/distressing), noise sensitivity, etc.

        Stimulants like caffeine and tea help me focus a bit better. And can confirm, coffee is magic. A cup in the morning can get me going, and a cup in the evening will let me sleep like a baby. I can guzzle a mug 30 minutes before bed and it’s relaxing, will still conk right out.

        Also, can easily drink 30+ ounces a day and not get jitters or even nudge my heart rate, my HR is usually in the mid-60s to low 70s throughout the day unless I’m being physically active or doing dedicated exercise.

    I think my depression broke my caffeine response. I can drink 2 16oz Celsius cans and still fall asleep immediately.

      Be careful on those, my buddy was drinking 4 a day and had a stroke. Even if the mental responses is borked, it still hits you physically!

        I almost never go above 1 a day, I was just trying it because 1 wasn’t doing anything. But since 2 didn’t help either, I just went back to 1.

    I only notice that I drank too much coffee because my chest feels weird and then I get scared and try to have self control for some time.

    Look, my lisdexamphetamine barely gets me out of bed at this point and I’m all out of methylphenidate "boosters’. Trust me. I know what I’m doing.
