Definitely. I've cut all caffeine for 2 months now and I'm way less anxious/panicky (in my case it made my body way oversensitive to any stimulation). I also have IBS lol so coffee is a no-no. I still love the smell of coffee tho

@Wonder24 I'm too afraid to try tbh, I replaced coffee with matcha (green tea)

It can for some people, yes. I’ve been taking in caffeine since I was 18 years old and I have ADD, so it doesn’t do much except wake me up a little at this point 😆

Yes, but it seems like the amount matters for me. I keep a log book of things I eat and consume. I can have a cup of coffee. If I have 3 cups of coffee, it’s too much. Energy drinks? No go. It’s too much. I also found that artificial sweeteners and certain food dyes like Red 40 have a significant impact on me.

Flare ups when stressed.
Does anyone Else’s ocd flare up bad when in stressful life situations? I was doing amazing and now that I’m having some drama with my life it seems to have come back with a vengeance. Anyone else?

Sleep and OCD?
Does anyone else's OCD get worse when you haven't slept well? I haven't been sleeping well since this weekend and my OCD and anxiety is just making me feel super down. Does anyone else have this problem?
