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.

slow down the "inner restlessness."

Is that possible‽

Yeah maybe, but you were staying hydrated.
