[The Madcap]

Hey guys, so For a while now, I've been wondering if I have ADD. I could never concentrate well throughout elementary school and even after high school. I always procrastinate and would always day dream. I always get anxious about things as well, like in high school when I walked in the hallway I thought people were looking at me. I was always the quiet kid. I get angry sort of easily and am really sensitive and have a really bad self esteem. My dad, as well as my grandma, have anxiety problems as well. Sometimes i'll feel so happy, and just want to hug someone, other times, I'll be playing a game, and will get bored and lose interest in it, then feel depressed. Sometimes I feel attractive and confident, other times I feel ugly and low. Thinking about bad things from the past or things that upset me will get me depressed and really angry. (I can't help thinking about the past) I hate being humiliated, it really gets me angry. I mean, I'm a really nice person, I'm just really sensitive. Sometimes I hate the world because I can't tell who's nice or not. Like people are always rude to me in customer service (at work) and I now look at everyone negatively. Caffeine seems to give me a nice buzz. I get hyper and talkative, but I am SUPER sensitive with caffeine. like more irritable. I need help guys.

i would say that the caffiene does affect how you feel. me myself need at least 5 cups a day to function. i hope you feel better and everyone has good and bad days. some more than others, like myself too. i have problems concentrating too. i am not one you should listen to as the only one, as i have so many other problems too. maybe somebody else here could add to what i had to say. good luck

I suffer from anxiety and all my doctors have told me to avoid caffeine, it feels good but it makes the anxiety worse.

Sounds to me, like the not uncommon vicissitudes of youth and part of the development of your adult personality so I don't think you need to fear the worst.

It is good that you are so self-aware though.

I drink 2 redbulls a day or else I get huge migraines. I'm trying to quit caffeine and sugar for good

I feel that I can only urge you to ease up on the caffeine intake. Coffee does taste great, but it's hard on our bodies (in medium to high doses). Caffeine withdrawals aren't fun or easy either.

Best wishes to you!
