Coffee express - what do you think is this machine? I saw people approaching this type of machine 3 - 4 times a day. As if they were robots.
I'm seeking stimulation. I get enough sleep.
I'm drinking 2 monster energy drinks a day and constantly panic

It's not an addiction mate, honestly. Try swapping it for something without caffeine, maybe with 0 calories too like water or Zero drinks.
You just have a habit of drinking something nice tasting 24/7, I do that too but try cutting down on the calories at least.

It's zero drinks and cocoa powder right now. I consume sugar drinks once a month.
Aspartame isn't anything healthy for your guts anyways. You think it's neutral. No, it's not neutral. Better than sugar, but it sucks.

I had the same problem, I didn't want to read the thread so I apologize if this was mentioned.
First of all, do not ever drink energy drinks when tired, it will make things worse, a lot worse.
Secondly, 2 monsters a day is too much, limit yourself to one.
Try to go off for 2 days, fix your sleep and then consume it instead of coffee, take sips in a larger time range.
It helped me to battle burnout and depression tbh. For three months straight I used a specific energy drink and only with it I could focus and work. I built my current business by using controlled sugar and caffeine intake, it gave me incredible boosts of concentration. But as soon as you will go over your limits, it will give all the negative effects you already said and next day will be fucked up as well.
Search posts from those two guys - @BreaknBrix and @brainstorm1
They gave me shitloads of ideas and inspiration to dive into nootropics, neuroscience and brain chemistry hacking. Im now only learning, will post a journey thread perhaps if what I find will be useful for me and perhaps somebody else.

Dumped that friend. Made a huge thread where I hated on him.
Turned out he was a fake one.
Now I'm living this shit alone. No weird shit going on in my head 24/7.
Giving up on caffeine is a breeze without that "co-dependency".
Inspired by American music production I want to become a rapper.
Now this is a creative task!
Thinking of buying studio headphones, mic and an interface.

One per day, but I found it's barely having any effect on me.
The most apparent was disturbed sleep pattern and my food pockets being emptied 30% faster.
I would drink a monster after a while.
Then 2 days later I would go to sleep an hour later than normally.
Then 3 days later I would go to sleep 2 hours later than normally.
Then a week later I would go to sleep 5 hours later than normally.
And this pattern was driving me crazy.
I would also be more hyper, so of course there would be a side effect of having a little bit worse focus.
A task would be super easy, but I would also non-stop switch between activities.
That's just what 200 mg of caffeine does when one simply sits at their desk. Physical stimulation.
The most important part is I found that it's not really mine. Someone helped me to have it too.
It was like I was sharing that addiction with someone. It's messed up.
So dumping people first, then dumping addiction.
It's easy to become "socially addicted".

This guy went into my head and pulled the idea of caffeine being powerful if done properly straight onto the Rogan's Podcast.
But my friend who would tell me "it's a fix he needs every morning" would strongly disagree with me.
But he would strongly disagree with things that I found right and he didn't.
He always wanted to be right and that was really unhealthy for him and everyone around him.
He really lived in his own world and wanted us to live in that world as well.
At some time I have felt like my thoughts are not mine. I would also feel like my behavior isn't my own.
Finally I'm out of this odd relationship.

You don't find they are toxic until you become one.
It's interesting that you get infected from them.
One should be really careful about trusting people.

Ain't sugar free drink the sugar one. In my opinion relationships are much harder to cope with than some coffee addicitons.
They have even told me BHW is pure sh** and facebook is better. Damn, their advice was so damn bad.

Got to wait a week and let those receptors get back to normal, so I see how it hits again!
