Morning coffee (wawawiwacomics)

Well this is adorable

i really dislike what caffeine does to me. it makes me uncontrollably fast, and not really in an energetic way, just a rushed way. i also dislike the sensation physically. there's just something deeply off about being on caffeine for me. i get a visceral "this is not right" feeling, not like dread but sort of in that direction, and it takes hours to fade.

i guess it's because i feel the need to control myself all the time to feel safe, and caffeine takes away some self-control and makes me more impulsive. thus i associate caffeine with a vague badness, and hence the dread-like feeling.

or maybe it's my heart telling me it's a bad idea. i did have a heart valve repair as a newborn baby and maybe i should check it out again.

You're describing what most people have from too much caffeine. So maybe your tolerance is just much lower. Or maybe you chug coffee like crazy.

What actually does to me
