Stop drinking energy drinks if you have anxiety!

I have anxiety, and I rarely drink energy drinks because I know how unhealthy they are, especially given the symptoms they can trigger for someone with anxiety.

Today, I thought, "It's been a long time since I had one, so why not?"

But just 15 minutes after drinking it, I started feeling dizzy, lightheaded, tired, and like my legs were about to shake.

Thankfully, I recognize these as symptoms linked to energy drinks, so I'm able to calm myself down.

However, this experience has confirmed that I need to double down on avoiding them entirely.

So, for everyone that has anxiety; please do NOT drink energy drinks, especially if you know it’s hard for you to manage their effects.
