Coffee makes my depression go away...?

Question

I am 19 and in nursing school and work full time as a CNA.

I was raped and abused from 13 to 17.

I attempt suicide by overdosing on Jan 2016.

I still struggle deeply with anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts.

I also struggle with fatigue.  Like I cannot focus and I can never stop sleeping.

I found out that drinking coffee not only greatly lessons my depression, but takes away my fatigue like I just slept for 5 hours.

Harvard did a 6.5 year study and found that 2 to 4 cups of coffee a day lessons suicidal ideation by 50%
It is wonderful.

Just sharing if anyone else wants to know!

I am so glad I found this!!

Answer

However, you need to very careful drinking that much coffee because there is such a thing as a caffeine overdose; and also people with heart problems should definitely not drink that much.

Answer

I can see why. Caffeine has similar properties to certain drugs, it's a stimulant. When you have something like depression where certain chemicals in your brain are lower I could imagine that using something like a stimulant would activate or light up those areas a little more. However drinking an excessive amount of coffee isn't neccesarily ideal or good for you, also you can develope a bit of a dependency for the coffee cause like once again it has similar properties to certain drugs it's a stimulant that has some addicting qualities to it. But I'm glad that something is working with helping your depression at this time. I would also recommend trying to talk to someone becoming too dependent on something as the only method of helping your problem can have negative effects.

Answer

If i drank that much coffee i think it would legitimately kill me 😅 It probably helps because caffeine is an upper. The problem with drinking that much caffeine is (obviously heart problems) you become dependent on it then if you ever want to cut back youll go through caffeine withdrawal
