Can drinking water really affect how anxious I feel?
Yes, absolutely! Even mild dehydration can make you feel tired, get a headache, and have a hard time concentrating. These feelings are very similar to anxiety and can make your actual anxiety feel much worse. Drinking enough water throughout the day is a simple way to take care of your body and avoid these extra, unnecessary symptoms. Keep a water bottle with you and take small sips often. It’s an easy win that helps your whole body, including your mind, function better.
