  • I definitely have both ADHD and caffeine makes my symptoms worse. Even a single cup of coffee will have my eye twitching and I’ll be anxious. The other day I accidentally drank two mugs of caffeinated coffee and I kept feeling like there was a being standing behind me all day at work just out of sight even though I was in an empty room.

    It also makes it impossible to focus on anything. I’ll be clenching my jaw racing from a painting to a sewing project to violin practice to work and then I’ll be out in the yard gardening and back inside trying to organize a shelf. That time with the two mugs I also couldn’t stop obsessing over growing bonsai trees as an investment opportunity, and how I’d setup an automatic watering system for the 200+ bonsai I was going to start from cuttings from a tree in my yard. Good times

    So yeah caffeine is not great for my brain. What helps is plenty of sleep, journaling, meditation, eating plenty of fiber, and quitting alcohol and caffeine.
