Coffee as an anti-depressant

Seattle's Best? That's what they sell in gas stations here.

Independent shops are the best imo. Lots of costa stuff, fair trade, strong brews and what not.

 

I think gas stations just have the brand of coffee on drip
there are actually fully equipped Seattle's Best Coffee shops though..

hmm, I don't like just plain black coffee, I guess a lot of people do though

 

"Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system and acts as an antidepressant by elevating serotonin and dopamine..."
"Some experience the mood boost more than others. Unknowingly, many people self-medicate depression with caffeine."

My life got a lot more awesome when I broke myself of cigarettes and caffeine. The two went hand in hand for me. I still have coffee, green tea, or chai once in a while, but I won't let myself get in that cycle again.

To answer the original question, coffee does give me the feel goods.


P.s. Caribou Coffee or gtfo

 

Got more awesome how?

Energy levels?

We had caribou coffee in VA. I like all the shit down here straight from the islands. No trademarked name whatsoever.

 

Energy levels, mental stability, and all around wellness. I'm too strong headed to be a slave to anything, caffeine included. Caribou is amazing. My favorite is the stuff from my friend's coffee plantation in Costa Rica. That only comes once year though.

 

No connection there for me--3 to 4 cups of coffee just gives me the shakes. If it works for you, keep at it.

 

I had a friend ( yes, i do have them but i have to pay for them) give me an awesome tip recently.

Twinings lemon and ginger tea mixed with cappucino

OM freakin G its awesome, ginger tea has to be good stuff like Twinings and the cap has to be strong. But ginger cappucino, did i say it was awesome

Twinings quality products are available from the prat aisle in the supemarket today

 

So 3-4 cups causes people to not commit suicide... at 3-4 pots of coffee a day I should live forever.


Maybe I should re-think this...

 

I feel like it just helps waking me up.

 

i get blue when i run out of fags then feel better when i've had a smoke.

i imagine coffee is the same. "i feel fantastic" nah, mate. you just aren't feeling withdrawal now.

 

3 or 4 cups of coffee doesn't make me feel better at all. In fact it gives me a mean case of the shits.

 

That used to be the case with me, so for years I avoided coffee. Now it causes me no digestive problems at all. I have especially grown fond of coffee since I began intermittent fasting, since it's one of the few permissible things to drink aside from water and tea.

 

ive cut down to one cup too


the extra large...its a 24oz
