    Been sucking back lots of coffee since the 80’s. Only when reading up on my daughter’s ADHD diagnosis did I realize I have been self medicating for it myself for decades.

      Out of curiosity, what problems do you have when you’re not having coffee, and what does the coffee seem to help with? I’m curious about ADHD for myself and trying to learn more about others symptoms to see if its something I should get tested for.

        Without coffee I can’t focus on work (or previously, school). I get distracted by things, including random thoughts. I can’t focus on something because I keep finding I’m thinking about other things.
