I wish being drinking enough water didn't mean I had to pee once every twenty minutes for the next three hours. it just doesn't seem like something I should be punished for

I love water and I'd be drinking a lot of it already, BUT I also adopted it as my replacement-smoking behavior, so I drink at moments in stressful tasks where I would've otherwise taking a cigarette break so
I'm right there with you in the tiny bladder, constant pee club
I will probably always be in a state of wanting a cigarette for the rest of my life hahaha BUT the water is a nice way to do SOMETHING with my hand/mouth in those moments!! unfortunately it gives me chapped lips and the need to pee every 30 minutes >:( water, not even once
I am here with you both and have to navigate a job where I absolutely can not get up to use the restroom any time I want. I have become weirdly strategic about my massive water consumption.
tbh that might be a sign you're drinking too much too fast, if it's running through you that quickly and like. violently. a lot of those daily water recommendations that float around (😏) are actually kind of wild
lithium does this to me, i'll be desperately thirsty but drinking water just makes me pee 20 minutes later and the whole time i'm STILL THIRSTY. pol dont believe me but it's true. i switched to drinking genmaicha, barley tea, kombucha, etc. and it seems like it "sticks" better than water!
my favorite when working from home was a half gallon jug with 1 big barley tea bag, 1 celestial seasonings berry flavor, big hunk of pounded ginger, and 2 star anise. fill with cold water and refridgerate about 12 hours, best over ice but good straight.
wonder if it has something to do with electrolyte balance! we need salt and some other minerals and stuff to actually make efficient use of water/stay hydrated, which is why gatorade and pedialyte are good choices for someone who's got The Poops real bad ;D
i try to go by the other signs of dehydration. like, if i'm not peeing Warning Colors and i don't have dry mouth or shitty skin or weird otherwise unexplained nausea or something... i'm probably doing fine
