Barista Suffers Caffeine-Induced Anxiety Attack and No One is Surprised

Yeah, that barista was me this morning. I never considered myself an anxious person capable of having an attack, but I guess it's common for it to happen unexpectedly and suddenly. One moment you're stamping logos on cups, the next you're dropping said stamp and stamping your own jeans being unable to grasp anything due to trembling.


Perhaps I did this to myself. I hadn't eaten anything yet and I had consumed an Americano and an energy drink (which I never drink... there was a promo code for free Xbox live... I was weak) at home before the shift. On top of this, I have been stressed, nervous, and worried about starting my own voice acting career. It's a lot of pressure! So, I'm gonna cool it on the caffeine and try to, I don't know, eat.


Some good news, though! Acoustic foam has arrived and I'm ready to get this ball rolling. I think the wait for things to come in the mail has been hard, so I'm thankful it's starting to arrive. I'm still very excited despite my episode today. Here's hoping my anxiety attack streak ends at 1, but if not, I definitely will work on getting help for that. Maybe I'm just hopeful that today was the perfect storm and it won't happen again. Maybe that's foolish. Not sure.


Well, thanks for keeping up! I'll keep you all posted. Stay tuned!
