I know that caffeine can induce anxiety and panic attacks, so I'm definitely steering clear of caffeinated drinks. But currently I don't feel well and would like to drink some tea. It's decaf. Will I be okay?

    Decaf tea would be fine I should think. Have you considered something like a fruit tea? They're delicious and totally caffeine free.x
