    I’m so tired of peeing. I drink the water I apparently need to survive. Then I have to go put the water somewhere else 5 minutes later. I drink water, I wash my hands, I leave, then I need to drink MORE water. Guess where that water ends up? Not in me! I give the water to my body and then like a child it tosses it out and demands more. All hours of the day and all hours of the night no matter what I am doing my life is interrupted by piss and this bullshit.

      I have days where I am also a slave to this dreaded cycle… As others have stated: adding a bit of salt/electrolytes can help. It does for me. And apart from having to pee less, I reckon it is a good idea anyway, because drinking + peeing very much will likely have a negative effect on one’s mineral levels.

      Excessive thirst/urination can be a symptom of diabetes. And I am sure there are other ailments related to it, so maybe next time you visit your doctor you might want to mention it. Hope you can get it figured out!
