Yes, maybe this is just me, but every time I have an extended work from home period, depression follows after a few months.

I was working around this once by drinking red bull, which I found lifted my emotions temporarily, but after it wore off in 4 hours I crashed way harder into despair. This effect built up over time and fortunately I noticed it and stopped using it routinely.

YMMV - just a friendly warning of how it affected me.

Yes!

And the worst case scenarios happened when my body was tired and wanted to stop, but my brain was high on Red Bull and didn't let me fall sleep.

If you generally use anything as a crutch it will start wearing off and you will build up a tolerance unless you start enjoying it for the sake of enjoying it and nothing more.

This can apply to pretty much any substance or routine. Right now for me it's video games :(
