@yo.fyi: Too much caffeine can raise cortisol and interfere with progesterone’s calming effect which can cause: • anxiety • palpitations • sleep issues • breast tenderness • “internal shaking” feeling HENCE more mood swings, irritability, fatigue and sometimes even acute anxiety. Nung una, I was just trying to figure out how I can self regulate for my kids kasi nag ssnap talaga ako sa kanila huhu. I'm especially hard on my kids during my luteal phase bec it felt almost impossible to keep my sht together when my hormones are upside down. ONLY to find out that it’s not the hormones that’s causing the mood swings. It was the caffeine 🤦‍♀️ Tapos last week, I was feeling paralyzed by anxiety so I decided to drink coffee to kind of shake it off? Only to have a panic attack ☠️ As someone who's borderline coffee dependent, naisip ko agad na DI KO KAYA WALANG KAPE GIRL. The first day was the trickiest bec I was sleepy since nagbbreastfeed ako sa gabi. So naghahanap talaga yung katawan ko ng kape. But despite being sleepy, the mood swings weren't swinging so parang ako 🤔 As I continue my days without coffee, I found that I was actually less fatigued kaya less irritable din ako. Although I think di naman kailangan totally no coffee at all. It was just my personal choice kasi hirap din ako mag control once I start drinking coffee. Feeling ko limiting coffee will still help a lot! Most likely, marami pa rin ibang reasons why there’s a dip in energy/mood and even anxiety but removing my caffeine consumption especially helped me be more emotionally and energetically regulated or dare I say, productive?? It is actually COUNTER INTUITIVE because I tend to look for caffeine when I feel unproductive or "slow". But maybe that's what my body was trying to tell me: SLOW THE FCK DOWN BTCH!! Learning all this also helped me be kinder, patient and understanding sa kids ko pati sa sarili ko 🥺 Hope this helps 💖
