do people like, not get thirsty? it boggles my mind how you can not drink enough water, we have a built in system to recognize when we need water..

I have ADHD. This has two consequences:

My ADHD meds are a diuretic, so on days when I take them I expel more water than I otherwise would. Making matters worse, I feel like when I take them I often just don't really get thirsty. As a result, if I don't pretty actively remind myself to drink water then I can easily find myself only noticing that I'm thirsty when I'm noticeably pretty dehydrated. Like, "wtf why are my eyes so dry? Oh right I don't think I've had any water since like yesterday morning".
On days when I don't take my meds (weekends), I might notice I'm thirsty but then just get distracted by something and forget about it for hours. The same applies to a lot of other bodily needs. No, I don't know how I've survived this long.
