I get like this with coffee. I use to drink so much dt. soda that it was wrecking my teeth so I switched to coffee. caffeine is a stimulant...because i believe that i have ADD it makes sense that I would need it to help keep me focused during the day. I drink quite a bit of it too.
When I do not have it I feel sad...the withdrawals can be horrendous depending on how much you drink.
I quit caffeine 2 years ago for6 months and the first month was the hardest...and I was extremely tired with terrible headaches that made the little depression i had worse.
Another fact is that I was not dealing with the "stuff" in my life or "facing myself" when it came to my issues so when I took away caffeine I had nothing to help me focus on the work I needed to get done... i decided to go to counseling and learned a great deal about myself (i am no way suggesting this is what is happening with you I just know that I was slightly to depressed to begin with have the withdrawal and it effects aggravated the depression to a higher level).
Hope this helps
