I think I am quite literally addicted to caffeine. I often go through phases of trying to not have any caffeine at all, and when I've been off caffeine for a while I get progressively more and more depressed. Last week I felt like I'd hit rock bottom. And then we got the new espresso machine at work and now life is good again. I think I may have a problem.

On the plus side, caffeine is fairly innocuous as far as highly-addictive substances go, and now that there's this espresso machine I always have ready access to a source of non-caloric caffeine (before this it was either terrible coffee or HFCS-laden soda) so I don't have to feel guilty and/or fat about drinking so much now.

(Of course I do need to find the right balance for intake vs. suicidal thoughts, since right now I have one hell of a buzzy headache.)
