I'm not there yet, but I am slowly getting my energy back day by day as I am getting off of caffeine for the 100th+ time.

Caffeine gave me euphoria, energy, it slowed the world down, it gave me optimism, and I felt I could think twice as fast as normal if not more.  Later, it made me dehydrated, restless, like my energy reserves were becoming more and more depleted, thin, and mentally exhausted.

Withdrawal gave me headaches and I just had to sleep a lot.  When I was awake, it was hard to concentrate because I was so tired.  I still feel that way even now, but less so as days go by.  After I get through the withdrawal, I hope to be able to have a normal ability to concentrate and do things and won't get worn out so easily.  To maintain this I will need to make very sure that I do what is necessary to go to bed early, so that I can get the necessary rest and not feel the need to compensate my lack of energy with caffeine.

I say all of this, but I have fallen off the wagon quickly and often.
