Constantly thirsty? - GoFuckYourself.com

Amp · 06-02-2004, 02:20 PM

i wonder if this qualifies as some kind of phobia or something....

I always have to have something to drink within arms reach. Start the day with coffee, (usually a full pot), then the rest of the day it's either 7up or water or Sprite or Dr. Pepper or a Jamba Juice or something. I switch between them throughout the day. But basically, if I'm awake, I have to have something to drink within reach. It isn't that I'm even thirsty all the time.... just gotta have something though, just in case I might get thirsty.

is this weird? Or does anyone do this too....

hmmm.... i don't know.... i've been this way for as long as I can remember. It's more like, some kind of fear of not having anything to drink, cuz if I go out or something and don't have something, I gotta stop and get something just to make sure I have it.

lol, lots of ppl have a drink by them all day long and are not diabetic.. just a habbit

Hue G. Pness · 06-02-2004, 02:26 PM

Yea I constantly have something to drink and I drink a lot of what ever I have. Mostly when on the comp. I probably drink 12 to 14 glasses of water a day.

NickPapageorgio · 06-02-2004, 02:26 PM

It may be a slight version of an OCD. My cousin has to turn every light in her house on and off atleast once when she comes home from being out anywhere. Kind of sad but quite amusing...

sinkiss · 06-02-2004, 02:26 PM

might be a phobia, but i agree with spotter, that is one of the signs of being diabetic

sexyclicks · 06-02-2004, 02:26 PM

I drink gallons of water
I don't like softdrinks, juice, nothing

mindoza · 06-02-2004, 02:26 PM

I never go to bed without bringing a huge glass of ice water with me, usually it barley gets touch but it has to be there.

Amp · 06-02-2004, 02:27 PM

alot of times I don't even drink whatever it is.... it just sits there for hours and the ice melts and I end up dumping it out and refilling it. But it's the having it available to me "just in case" that most matters.

This is exactly what I was thinking. I have Diabetes running like wildfire in my family and I have to get tested sometimes. I have been what they call borderline for many years and this is the big thing they tell me to watch out for.

Tala · 06-02-2004, 02:31 PM

Same here. I must always have something to drink, all day everyday.

Meta Ridley · 06-02-2004, 02:33 PM

Dude , all the Caffiene and sugar are making you thirsty. Without a doubt, cut back on the shit.

Amp · 06-02-2004, 02:35 PM

i should probly mention that I also eat alot of salty stuff during the day.... beef jerky, pistachios.... crap like that

The caffiene, sugar and salt are for sure your problem bro. Try cutting back and see how you do.

4Pics · 06-02-2004, 02:36 PM

cut back on the salt and you wont need to drink so much.

Penrod · 06-02-2004, 02:41 PM

Do you have nightmares of being stranded in the desert or on an island perhaps?

Amp · 06-02-2004, 02:42 PM

i shouldn't really have said constantly thirsty.... that's not really correct, cuz like I was saying, alot of times it just sits there for hours. But as long as I have it, I'm good.

it's more like some kind of weird security blanket thing.... if I go somewhere, it comes with me. If I alswer the front door, it comes with me. If I go outside or upstairs, it comes with me. If I go to the bathroom, it comes with me. Everywhere I go, it needs to be there.

i just thought that was kind of strange.

hmmm..... maybe you're onto something there. Not nightmares, but being surrounded by all the worlds undrinkable salt water.

SS396chevelleSS · 06-02-2004, 02:55 PM

maybe you shouldnt smoke so much pot

i'm the same way, but only when i'm home. when i'm out i can go without drinking, but at home i always have something i'm sipping on.

just habbit imo

MattO · 06-02-2004, 03:57 PM

I'm the same way... my wife thinks I should install a fridge and a urinal in my office.

Pretty normal for me. I always got a sipper around, Coffee, water, juice, cola yeah.

cherrylula · 06-02-2004, 04:04 PM

I am the same way. Can't even go to bed without a glass of water on the nightstand.

Water, beer, or occasional coffee or soft drink (notice the order I typed those in

)

oh yeah and this great new redbull habit - another 2 grand a year expense

SykkBoy · 06-02-2004, 04:18 PM

I'm the same way...when I'm on the computer, I have to have a drink near me at all times...I get so bad, sometimes, I'll have 2 or 3 open sodas at sitting around...it's almost like I can't concentrate if I don't have something there...

smokingdawn · 06-02-2004, 04:20 PM

I am the same way...always have something to drink close by

Sounds like possible diabetic symptons to me too..

digifan · 06-02-2004, 05:09 PM

Hey Amp,

if you were tested for diabetes and they found nothing, no need to worry imo.. just stick to mineral water and avoid the junk. The dr.s say it is very healthy to drink lots of water.

Bake · 06-02-2004, 05:17 PM

The other day I bought a water filter cold water dispenser has its own little chillier built in so you always have cold filtered water on tap

(many people speak of my drinking but nobody speaks of my thirst "Oscar Wild")

beemk · 06-02-2004, 05:19 PM

caffine dehydrates you. try drinking some water.

eroswebmaster · 06-02-2004, 05:19 PM

I'm the same way Amp...I constantly have something to drink in my hand.

We freeze water to take on jaunts around town lol..it gets so hot in this town and doesn't last long.

re: diabetes.

I've been told this before, and have been tested a few times..and was fine..but like you said amp I've been this way ever since I can remember.

I guess you and I have something in common, after all. In my case, it's iced tea and water but I drink a LOT and I always want something within reach. As someone else mentioned, it's been suggested to me that the issue may be related to diabetes.
