Irritable
 
Wow. I just had a Day 4 irritable moment. I was asked why I seemed so irritable and told to suck it up. I didn't handle it well but didn't drink and I'm calmer.

I was quite irritable in the early days. My mood went up and down so much it was hard to keep track. It gets better with time. :)

I felt so uncomfortable in my skin and couldn't stop the feeling. Chugged a glass of water and it helped

I always do a self check when I get irritable or a drink starts to sound good to me and usually find that I'm hungry, tired, or both. A piece of chocolate or a nap can do wonders. The early days are hard, treat yourself kindly.

Good for you for getting through this.

I'm on day 17 and my moods are wonky at best! lol. I'm trying just to roll with it. When it gets too bad I'm likely to put in some headphones and listen to music, drowning everyone out! At least that way no one gets yelled at! ;)

It gets better. Good job sidestepping whatever irritated you.

My moods are awful these past 3 days. I'm sure I've manages to **** just about everyone off.
