Hey guys. I had a small decaf with a shot of French vanilla, a splash of cream and sweet cold foam and I did not freak out! So delicious!

If it is just about managing the levels?

Tea has a bit. Chocolate has a bit too and is my own preference for a coffee-esque drink.

That said, the best thing you can do is exercise and expose yourself to new experiences. Exercise keeps the body energy up. Experiences are effectively fuel for the brain.

I get overly hyped up when I excersize too I don't know wtf is wrong with me

[Effably]

Overly hyped in what way? There is no cause for concern if this is just you being excited and feeling alive but if it results in trouble breathing, painful heart palpitations or alike it might be worth checking.

In general, as far as medicine has come, eating, sleeping and exercising is typically as effective as most medicine, with exceptions of course.

What the fuck does that even mean?
If you suffer with high anxiety coffee is the last thing you need.

There's no better drug for anxiety than alcohol

[Mariogirl09]

So become an alcoholic? Nice

Maybe you can try "Calm" tea by Tazo. I think they have it at Starbucks.

Also there's a variety of teas to calm you - like chamomile and sleepytime teas.

tea (not matcha) or even b12 supplements work

just dont do anything that has caffeine lol

[Staximus]

Anything that gives you energy from caffeine or that other crap that's in most energy drinks is going to be bad

[DryGermanGuy]

Better eat an energy bar before training.

Decaf coffee, herbal tea
