10 days AF, but bad tempered - advice pls

[adi]

Hello all,

I thought I was doing ok, minimal withdrawls, until yesterday.

Physically I'm ok, but evenings from 5-6 is when I drank.
I've been keeping myself busy, eating well, taking men multivitamins every morning.
Now I find myself drifting into a terribly bad mood in the evenings, no reason, not thinking of drinking or anything, just everything is annoying me.
I drink 3-5 litres of water and apple juice and still feel thirsty.

I have bought a snickers and twix to try tonight, I don't eat sweet stuff but am wondering if it might help.
I nearly went out and bought a diabetes test in case. I nearly went and got AL to stop me being so bad tempered, but didn't, just hoping it will pass.

Anyone any ideas or similar ?

Hi Adi,

Wine gums and Liquorice are good low calorie options. Everyone says that water with fresh lemon helps. I do mine with hot water, fresh Lemon and Honey.

If you don't have a sweet tooth, sour gums are great. If you prefer salty things, those salty liquorice gums are great--I think they are made in Holland. Fishermans' friend losengers also help, I get the aniseed flavoured ones.

Other than that, when 5pm comes around, I make myself a Tomato cocktail.

Over and above all this, get L-Glutamine and Milk Thistle from your local health shop, drink Lots of water and try to have an afternoon nap-even if it is just 15 min, you will feel heaps better. Hope my 2cents helps.
Love,
