Caffeine Addiction

I feel like death is just around the corner. Stomach upset led me to ditch the coffee on Monday. Tuesday morning I barely made it out of bed at 9 am (1.5 hours late to work). I could not believe how tired I felt. I swear it was just like mono. I stayed away from the coffee because I was feeling quite bad. SHITTY. Today was the same story. HELL. The initial stomach trouble was probably due to traveling and eating really bad food all weekend. Inadvertently giving up coffee only made me ill and life worse. SERIOUSLY. I dropped dead on my lunch break, slept after work, and still am suffering from a headache. I read an article about caffeine withdrawals on the John Hopkin's website. Symptoms range from headache to flu-like body aches and nausea! HOLY SHIT. The article also said that it can last from 2-9 days. TRAGEDY.
So here I am-in bed, weary, still tired after 10+ hours of snooze time.
WITHDRAWAL FATIGUE. I am plagued with a decision: complete the detox or plummet back into addiction.
