Me too, often! I also need a sugary drink. I've read that glucose restores willpower, and it seems dehydration can make any problem worse.
I had always been brought up to surpress stims which is a very hard thing to do. I did not know they were called stims or stimming. I was often labelled as being a fidgit!
Anyway. In the absence of stimming which took years to achieve, I had no defence against a shutdown except for eating or drinking something sugary, as it did help.
But having started stimming again, I find it much more effective. However, when anxious I do drink lots of fizzy drinks or sometimes water if I have had too much sugar. I know every toilet for miles! certain areas are no go areas for me after 5pm when the close the public toilets as only the dissabled ones are kept open. Ah well. That's life! I have not been caught yet relieving myself behind walls or hedges.
