Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I shouldn't be saying this online, but I'm not lactose intolerant and I very occasionally drink black coffee which does give me the runs.
That being said, I only take it if I have something really important that I wanna be fully awake for, but only if its within the next 1-2 hours because I don't wanna be 3 hours into something feeling like a pressurized gas bag lol.
Eating food before or alongside coffee can help mitigate this effect, but most people have it in the morning with breakfast which is usually a light meal so it doesn't stop all of it.
Also the anxiety probably comes from the increased heart rate alongside a mental stress factor. If you're not worried about something, you'll feel awake but a bit lax. But if you're already nervous or anxious, coffee will multiply it.
