Is it possible for a caffeine addict to feel depressed if they don't get their caffeine?
I usually drink coffee in the morning, but today I didn't have any 'cause I was in a hurry. I felt depressed all day and couldn't stop crying. There were little things that I was sad about, but nothing that big that could really make me cry like this. Could this have been from my lack of caffeine?
common withdrawal symptoms: headache; fatigue or drowsiness; dysphoric mood including depression and irritability; difficulty concentrating; and flu-like symptoms of nausea, vomiting and muscle pain or stiffness.
YES it can cause depression!!!!!!

The Truth About Caffeine Addiction?
"I'm addicted to caffeine" is a phrase often repeated jokingly by people as they reach for their morning tea or coffee. But is caffeine addiction real and how seriously should you take it?
Caffeine can be found in tea, coffee and cola, which may explain why these drinks are so popular. Once the caffeine is ingested it affects your central nervous system and acts as a stimulant increasing your energy levels and making you feel good. But the addictive nature of caffeine can also have a significantly detrimental effect.
When was the last time you went without a cup of coffee in the morning? It's estimated that about 9 out of every 10 families drink coffee on a daily basis. When you feed your body a substance that it begins to rely on to function, however, that's when it can become dangerous.
According to Professor Roland Griffiths of the John Hopkins School of Medicine, caffeine produces significant withdrawal symptoms. These symptoms are followed by the intense need for coffee or for another beverage that is high in caffeine. Withdrawal includes headaches, irritability and moodiness. Caffeine has also been documented as the possible cause for stomach ulcers, infertility, insomnia, breast tumours and nervous system disorders.
It is also one of the most common reasons for hyperactivity in young children. If you or a loved one suffer from caffeine addiction, then perhaps its time you realised the damage that's being done to your body. Make an attempt to go just 24 hours without any caffeine intake. In addition to coffee, avoid energy drinks, fizzy drinks and tea; replace them with water instead. Caffeine is one habit that you need to watch closely. Years of caffeine abuse can bring about serious illness. If you're going to try and cease your caffeine intake, try weaning yourself off gradually, and be prepared for the possibility of a bout of depression.
In comparison to most drug addictions, a caffeine dependency is relatively easy to kick. Start by reducing your daily dose of caffeinated beverages and eventually wean yourself off them entirely. If you don't want to quit altogether then be mindful of the amount of caffeine you ingest everyday. Restrict yourself to just one coffee at the beginning of the day.
While it's easy to quit if you have self control, the fact that it's legal and part of your weekly shopping list doesn't discourage its use. You'll need to be really determined to break your caffeine addition if you're going to be successful. If you want to be mentally alert all the time, then stop your caffeine addiction in its tracks. You'll likely find that, overall, you have more energy and better health.
