Giving Up Caffeine: Anyone Else Struggling?

has anyone had to give up caffeine ? I have never ending fatigue and fog so I always crave coffee or black tea,but when I have it I immediately feel jittery,get palpitations which usually sends me down a hole. I have tried caffeine free but it isn't the same;( has anyone been able to make their way back to a cup of coffee?

I had to give up caffeine for about 3 years. I have recently flipped back to caffeine insensitivity. One thing that may help is trying your coffee at half-caf. Nothing says you can't mix regular and decaf in your coffee pot and you can usually order half-caf at coffee shops. If half is too much, quarter is also achievable.
