i'm drinking like 4-5 cups of coffee or tea a day
is this bad? i feel like i constantly need something to stimulate my mind otherwise i get depressed and unmotivated. drinking coffee or tea keeps the negative thoughts at bay
I don't really have advice, just bumping because I feel the same way. I guess the best that I can offer is telling you that you're not alone.

When combining caffeine and ritalin, I've noticed my mind seems really clear. The two complement each other.
Also, taken together they make EDM sound waaayyy cooler.

coffee? no. substituting your addictions because it
"keeps the negative thoughts at bay" is pretty bad.
You have to address this issue rather than cover it up with distractions. Why are you depressed? Why do you think you're having these thoughts? What are you going to do about it?
I drink five 10oz cups of coffee a day. Healthy as can be, workout every day and feel great. Never had any problems because of it.
I once tried to cut back but couldn't. I love my coffee, the taste of it, the texture of it, the SHMELL OF IT. Works out to be like 600 or more mg of caffeine a day. Eh, I still get to bed at night.

I don't think that's bad.
But I think that tea is better than coffee.
Quitting my daily 4-5 mugs of tea overnight caused me 2 days of dull headache, so there is a physical dependency alright. I'm mainly limiting it to save time though. The whole ritual is a tempting justification for not using my hands for something productive.
Thoughts need to be worked through, not suppressed. Give them certain form in writing, and be analytical.
