I agree, I tend to drink tea as an alternative when I don’t drink, which is much healthier. :)
I need to start doing that. To get through my day at work when I super tired(which is ALWAYS), I drink Red Bull :( I know I shouldn’t because it’s unhealthy and not good for people with anxiety, but I can’t help it I need to find a substitute. Any suggestions if you know of anything for energy?

I’m not sure, maybe coffee? Lots of caffiene but doesn’t have all the extra stuff in that red bull has.

Also green tea, you could have 3 cups a day I think it only has 30mg of caffiene, not quite a red bull but still enough for some mental energy. and very healthy!

Also carrot juice I believe is energising, worth looking into :)

Sweet thanks! Definitely need a substitution. I don’t drink coffee, but def going to look into carrot juice and I have green tea I haven’t opened yet, lol. I love black tea, but that might have TOO much caffeine

I discovered I like Vodka with Apple Juice. This can't be good.

I'm an alcoholic that has been dealing with anxiety since I was 12 years old. I had a shrink tell me that coffee will make you more anxious immediately but alcohol will make you more anxious the next day. It's easy to get into a cycle of using the alcohol as medication but very hard to keep your dosage in a healthy range.

Black tea is ok, it’s somewhere between green tea and coffee in terms of caffeine:)
