I once had a bit of a sleep deprivation fueled small scale nervous breakdown at work, and the next day my boss recommended i did lego, and then sacked me about a week after. LOL.

That happens when the proportion of coffee in the body composition of a dev is too low.

@electrineer i actively avoid coffee on days like this because it's happened more than once that a cup of coffee triggered an anxiety episode

@darksideofyay gotcha, that's why your profile says 50% coffee and not 100%

Something I learned from my ex: whenever anxiety strikes, go wash your hands in cold water. She did that to our mutual friend and it worked so well even he was shocked. It's called sensory grounding and apparently it's based on science.
