I used to like drinking coffee and even now I like it because of the fact that it does make me cheery and my brain stimulated which is why maybe I did not suffer depression considering that there are lots of reasons for me to get depressed.
But I could not drink coffee anymore unlike before where I am just simply addicted to it and what prompted me to quit it is because of the bitter aftertaste in my mouth which is caused by the side-effects of my parathyroid medicine, so when I drink coffee I get that bad taste magnified so in turn my drinking got lesser and lesser, substituting sips of cold fruit/pineapple fruit juice instead of asking my mother to give me coffee.
Now in this family only my father drinks coffee while my mother drinks yellow ginger which I know will be better for her health. I myself drink coffee once in a while especially when I am viewing the Thanksgiving activities every Thursdays.
But now I am not drinking much coffee so I can just sleep when I want and never have any trouble doing it except the duration is short and intermittent maybe because of my other health issues affecting the quality of my sleep.
I also noticed that if I indulge in coffee I may be cheery and stimulated with my brain but it sacrifices my sleep quality so I just said to myself that I have to really take off my addiction from it.
One negative effect for me is that without coffee I feel much bluer and sadder these days, sometimes I would listen to certain songs or watch certain videos and tears would just well on my eyes and then I would begin to think about my health and condition so it sucks, reality kicks in and I begin to get sad and cry.
