But, at the same time, I couldn’t shake the looming feeling of depression I had in the mornings that kept creeping up on me if I missed my morning coffee. I questioned depression as a possibility, but I couldn’t find a reason for the sadness. Back then, I bought coffee once a day without an issue, until one day in November I started feeling strange.

Productivity is what I live for, and I cannot spend a day without getting a workout in or getting a head start on the week’s readings.

The problem is not necessarily addiction to the sweet taste of cappuccino, and the real issue is beyond handing the cashier your money.Ĭoffee dependence is not the desire to have coffee, but rather a series of underlying symptoms that come as a result of not having the beans’ magical ingredient-caffeine. It’s not that I care about your health I’m just taking your order because that’s what I get paid for, but I do wish that coffee addiction wasn’t considered such a joke, because a casual latte habit can turn into a serious issue really quickly. As a barista, I hear “I’m so addicted to coffee,” followed by an awkward laugh to disguise the seriousness of their play-addiction, at least 30 times a day.
