The lighter side of ADHD
Constantly forced to be an investigator in my own life.
Holy shit do my meds ever kill my food and water drive. The food part is nice. I eat like a regular human now, and I'm losing weight without really trying to (it's okay, I'm obese). If I'm not hungry, I don't really want to eat. God, it's liberating.
But yeah, I seem to have a harder time remembering to hydrate. So thanks for reminding me lol
Having water with me/beside me seems to help me a lot. Theres no oh I'm thirsty i better stop and buy water or go get water, i always try to have some so as soon as a little bit of thirst hits i can drink it right away. Otherwise i find myself saying oh I'll go get water in 5 minutes, and 3 hours later still not got any water.
Even if you did drink water today, you probably didnt drink enough.
Go drink some what now.
just drink water until you sit there swigging it around and really really don't feel like swallowing it, that's your body telling you you've had enough.
Thanks for the reminder!
This is actually why I'm working on a habit of tanking a glass of water first thing in the morning. Like right out of bed.
Did I drink food today??
Same though, especially now that I have a job again I gotta actively keep track of how much water I take in. If I'm home it's usually alright.
My strategy is that every time I wonder whether I’ve had enough to drink or not, I try to get myself to drink some water.
Does it work? Not always, but I try :3
I have chronic gout. If I don't drink enough water, I'll be in some serious pain in a few days. Is that enough to remind me? No!
Water?
Fish fuck in it. But obviously alcoholism is bad, so just drink heart stopping levels of caffeine instead.
If alcoholism wasn't bad, that's probably the vice I would've turned to.
Buuuut stimulant medication hates alcohol, so it's a rare treat for me.
Fuck, thanks for the reminder
I get irrationally annoyed maybe once a week or so and it’s always because I didn’t drink enough water
Waterllama is my solution for the tracking
