    Fortunately we’ve evolved a really awesome mechanism. When your body needs more water, you get thirsty.

    Yeaaahhh…About that…

      ADHD can make you completely ignore that signal for way, way too long.

      My body also misinterprets that signal as “hunger”, and a craving for some wet food. Maybe like yogurt or a cup of pudding. You know something that just slides down easy. Yeah #thisiswhyimfat.

      Me too. Sometimes I feel like I must get thirsty in a reasonable way, but when I actually notice the sensation is another matter. At other times I’m incessantly thirsty.
