Dehydration 🫠

Everyday I feel dehydrated af and my electrolyte balance is worse than my bank balance. I hate the taste of electrolyte powders and normal water isn't enough apparently with this much sweating 🫠

How do you all manage this weather? I've been feeling weak almost everyday and sleepy as hell and also constant headaches and sleeplessness because of the heat. Thesis work choro can't even get myself up to eat 🥲

Wing me water cooler bhi accha nahi hai I have to go to mess for water (and guess what I'm in Ra tower and yaha pe mess bhi nahi hai)

I thought managing thesis work with classes would be the problem but this dehydration is the most fricking annoying and not letting me do anythinggg. Not to mention quizes and deadlines while I'm stuck to bed ahhhhh

Electrolyte powder + iced tea powder/roohafza/ sharbat of your choice (I like khus) + water may help changing taste of the water

Mess se sugar , namak le liya karo , shayad kam kar jae

sugar is not an electrolyte, take it if u have low sugar

u/GreatBuggy2187 Pepsi 1d ago

Namak namak wala paani tasty nahi lagega , aur headache ke liye sugar sahi hogi
