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 struggle with this as well. I get so preoccupied with what I'm doing or with stress and forget to drink, sometimes to a lesser extent I forget to eat. What I've done is got a drinking reminder app on my phone... it reminds me regularly to have a drink, if I ignore it I can set it almost like an alarm snooze so it reminds me again 5 mins later.
    Another thing I did was buy myself a water bottle (with a straw), I've noticed I drink more when I use a straw and have found this more helpful than I originally thought it would be. Choosing a fun water bottle rather than a plain one made it more enjoyable for me. My water bottle is sky blue and has bees on it Bee
