My bad alternate uses caffeine for this or if we are already loaded up with it, it sustains him. It's his energy. Too much of it will bring him out in a bad way so, we have to be careful with the intake. However, I do need coffee in the mornings to help me stay awake because of sleep apnea.
Sorry for letting go of some of the information that I have in me but, this has been happening a lot lately as part of my stress. Sorry for coming in to yet another thread and making it about me. I know that that is very rude. I just have an intense need to express this stuff. And for once I feel that I have found an online community that understands. But, back to what AlwaysChanging2 said about staying pissed off. That is my dark alternate when he isn't high on one of his delusions and going on about his 'perceived' powers.
