i am discovering that i am totally non-functional before i've had my morning coffee. we're talking COMPLETELY non-verbal, incapable of operating light machinery, barely able to stand upright.
I too have this problem. I am a danger to myself and loved ones before I've had my coffee. I don't know what to do about it. I feel helpless and alone. I feel like kicking a kitty cat.
I rode the train down to New York with my boss very early one morning wihout having had any coffee. I was totally unintelligible and eventually he gave up on me and took a nap. Once we got to Grand Central, I got a large iced coffee, even though it was going to make us late for our appointment. Halfway through the cab ride I became human so suddenly and obviously that he commented on it. Clearly, this is a problem for me, too.
well, i can function, but as soon as i'm upright, the word "coffee" jangles around in my head like a mantra until i take care of it. this is a recently new phenomena.
It is the same with me, but with food...every two hours. I was about to rip someone's head off on the way home from class yesterday. I hated Thailand, I hated their 70s-glam-carol-brady haircuts, I hated the fact that our housekeeper bought margarine (*MARGARINE!*) twice when I said butter specifically and even described in detail what it would look like and be made from.... Then I had some lunch. All was right with the world and I loved Thailand again (except the haircuts).

It's only a problem if you don't have that morning cup ... ba boom.

My mother has been that way as long as I can remember. Just give in to the addiction and make sure you always are within 5 minutes of a cup of coffee.
