Wondering how normal I am after 3 days?
So I stopped any and all caffeine 3 days ago. I used to be having 4-5 coffees and an energy drink most days. For the last three days I've felt very irritable, genuinely depressed, slightly randomly emotional and mood swingy, constantly sleepy, weak and lethargic, and spaced out and mentally very slow.
I'm slightly concerned because this seems like a lot of change. Is this all pretty normal for quitting caffeine completely or is there likely something underlying going on? Also, how long am I going to feel like this?
I originally quit to reduce OCD/anxiety symptoms, and try and live more in the 'real world'. I've been feeling spaced out and derealised for about 3 years now, always feeling like I'm in a dream or watching life on TV and am trying to see if caffeine is why. Will this have any impact on that? And how long will it take?
