I've had some problems lately. Toward the end of my period about two weeks ago, my anxiety went up.
Alcohol cravings came back.
For the last couple weeks during this, I've noticed the following:
My protein intake dropped. Instead of 80 g. per day, I'd get less, sometimes only get 50 g. for example. One day I only had 35 g.
I stopped using my B supplement that also has taurine and caffeine (it's an energy drink mix, not Peaty).
I stopped using l-theanine.
On Cronometer, I haven't been getting enough of some of the nutrients, like B vitamins. Specifically, vitamins B1, B3, B6
Potassium is on the low side. Magnesium could be better.
Ate pretty much no fruit.
I've pretty much lived on liquids. I get some solid food each day, like carrot and a little of whatever I make for dinner. Mostly I was drinking coffee and Coke. Alcohol. I just didn't seem to have the appetite for much meat or protein foods.
Alcohol cravings start early in day and continue all day and evening. Yes, I've been back on the sauce.
Besides anxiety, I had depression. I pretty much never have to deal with depression, so this was bad. Suicide ideation.

My calcium/phos ratio has stayed good. PUFAs still low.
I'm not sure why my appetite changed to where I wasn't eating what I used to. I didn't set out to wreck myself. It seemed to be a cycle where I didn't want much food, probably caused me to feel worse, therefore didn't want food...

I'm making myself drink more milk again for the last couple days.
I had the energy drink mix the last couple days in a row. (that has the B vits, taurine, caffeine, etc.)
Made my protein requirement yesterday.
Made pretty much all nutritional requirements yesterday.
Today is the first day I do not crave alcohol.
Anxiety better, depression pretty much gone. I hope it was all nutrition related. If so, I can keep that in mind and made sure I get more nutrition if things start to go bad - I can just look and see if I was slipping.
