Are you sure it’s the caffeine? This happened to me, and I found out that depression was manifesting as anger/agitation. Got a prescription for a low dose of lexapro and it has taken the edge off.

I also experienced the caffeine addiction (3 kids!) and anxiety/depression issues. Talk therapy is great. I found regular activity (20 min brisk walk), vitamin D supplements and doing things to care for me and bring me joy were a recipe for recovery. Caffeine in moderation is still in the picture.
