Anyone else forget to eat and drink?

Marsi

Hey, so I've recently learnt thar I'm chronically severly dehydrated. I just forget to drink. also forgetting to eat. Best way to describe it is I forget that drinking and eating exist. I also forget going to the bathroom exists as well until it's bad. What should I do to try and fix this? I'm alone most days of the week. My partner comes home in the evening. and even if I have drink near me I still forget. I've also tried setting alarms and I just tick them of then forget to actually drink. Any advice is great.

  • I've struggled a lot with this in the past personally, and setting reminders doesn't work for me either. Personally I keep a stash of snacks at various locations around the house, and try to make something tasty to drink while I'm working, so it's more like a reward or a bonus rather than a chore. That way it takes less effort to get around to eating and drinking, and even if I forget about entire meals, I'm not putting myself at any bodily risk by the time my husband comes home.
