Yes, I had this. Along with a fear of being 'too conscious'. The energetic feeling I guess is just adrenaline. I think everyone on here can relate to some form of this which is basically 'I want booze!'. I have come to realise that my response to any emotion or physical feeling is to poor alcohol on it. Look into AVRT, that may help with the 'screw it' reaction.

And the anger thing is totally normal. I spent my first 2 weeks just looking into anger management rather than struggling to not drink. It passed though

Glad you're here x
