bit of a silly question but.....
Should i drink extra water if i have a big cry? I'm a bit of a cry baby and easily end up in tears, like this morning, when i was on and off crying for a few hours. But should i now drink extra water to compensate? or will i be ok with my regular 8 glasses?

Struggling
I'm struggling a little at the moment, mostly because of thoughts I’m having about the end result.
