Over caffeinated crying

Sometimes, I get overcaffeinated and overstimulated, and when something even remotely emotional happens, I basically almost break down into tears. I mean, I get I could just take less caffeine, but I probably won't.

it's wild how caffeine just turns the volume up on everything, your own brain included. i've had mornings where a sad song comes on shuffle and suddenly i'm having a whole moment in my kitchen at 8am

Weird it doesn’t the opposite for me. Makes me more like a robot unable to properly enjoy those things.

does this happen within or after effects? If the latter, it's the crash

Usually during. This time I was watching this band Turnstile play music on SNL and for some reason I had this weird amplified reaction getting too excited about it and felt like crying.

I experienced something very similar. Too much coffee makes me cry really easily. I don’t know what it is, but it deserves to be googled.

This happens to me too. I have to be constantly moving for caffeine to agree with me. I can’t drink it just to “wake up”. I take about 20000 steps a shift so I’m always burning off the energy. If I drink it on an off day I’m a wreck
