  • I don’t and have never wanted to “stress myself.” There is no off switch for the stress. It’s always there. It’s been there almost as long as I can remember.

    I was diagnosed at 28. If I waited much longer I would probably be a full blown alcoholic today. I managed my symptoms by self medicating (i.e. drinking) which was a really poor substitute for actual medication. That was the only way I could temporarily shut off the stress.

    Getting diagnosed and properly medicated dramatically improved my quality of life.
