I've noticed that if i dont' drink enough water during the day that my anxiety starts to creep up. Anybody else found this??

Hi D...

Yes i totally find this.

All i drink now is water - nothing AT ALL!

I have a full galss in the morning, and then a small bit of orange juice with breakie...then i constatly drink water all through the day.

Hey D,

absolutely dehydration is terrible for anxiety, its like when you have a hangover panic and anxiety is always much worse, i have a lucosade crutch im afraid i live on it, i have been drinking again a fair bit so that just makes it worse

is lucozade wise for panics? i thought it had caffeine in it?

I tend to stay away from all things with caffeine in it

I always have it, Lucozade rehydrates you quickly and gets your blood sugar levels up fast.

a quick fix but it works for me, probably all in my mind

Hi All
I read an interesting thing the other day about anxiety and depression; it said that dehydration can make depression and anxiety worse.

I drink loads, mainly water and flavoured sparkling water. Mind you it could be my med Citalapram. However drinking water is very very good for you anyway.

Lots of love

I've certainly found that keeping hydrated certainly helps, I only drink water at work and most of the time at home. Hangovers were really bad for me due to the dehydration, so I cut alcohol out, have the occasional drink or two but it is literally 1 or 2. Since I kept drinking lots of water I have felt a lot better.

I cant go anywhere without water, i have one coffee with 2 sugars when i wake up, i keep 3 bottles of water in the car incase i get stranded/lose my breath at traffic lights and then drink water all day from the filter machine at work.

I definitely suffer more at weekends when i hardly touch a drop.

I find water helps me breathe :-)
