For me the most difficult in terms of mood swings was the 5-6 months period. Last summer. Then shorter "crazy" periods coming and going, but I mostly stopped craving alcohol after ~6 months (and that was a big change given how intense and stubborn cravings I had initially).

Aren't you also relatively newly taking an antidepressant med? I remember your posting how it helps, but maybe it also needs a longer period of adjustment to achieve more stability, it's definitely a big chemical change for the brain.

I also liked Verte's post about seasons. I think it's quite common that experiencing everything "for the first time" in sobriety comes with challenges, for all of us. Maybe time for a new hairstyle, after all? A non-crazy one
