    Before getting diagnosed I would routinely drink at least a pot (maybe two) of coffee throughout the day to stay motivated and probably three mixed drinks at the minimum after dinner to slow down the “inner restlessness.”

    Not a healthy lifestyle at all.

      I watched my undiagnosed mother self medicate with a 2-3 pot per day habit for decades. Fortunately she was able to quit, but not before she retired – and not before developing a heart arrhythmia. Fuck anyone who thinks this isn’t a serious condition.
