Idk what water you're drinking, but the only thing that does is make me less thirsty or more bloated. Does nothing for the anxiety or anything else....
Gimmie some clear liquid to put in there and I'll go with that option.
Anything that forces me to change what I think about and pay attention to. Video games, driving, ATV rides, etc.
Also just learning to understand (within reason) that things you can’t control don’t deserve a lot of your mental capacity. No reason to worry about it, because you can’t do anything to change the outcome.

Right? The problem is, sometimes I'm like, "Wow, do I drink too much" but then I'm like "Naaah, I drink way less than (insert the name of an alcoholic you personally know here)", but sometimes it still feels like I drink too much anyway?
Eating something, drinking some water, getting as much sun as possible without getting burnt. Those three will take care of most of it to be honest with you.
