Artificial hydration

The doctor said to drink more water.  Since then, we both have drunk more water but we find that doing that makes us have to visit the bathroom every time we stand up.  When I was told to drink more water, I had allowed myself to just fall from a walking position into a full-bodied collapse while thinking that I need not bother keeping upright.  It was a false but dreamy feeling that I could just stop trying and fall, as one might do onto a mattress. It may seem like a small demand but I suspect my body is actually ready to stop living but I am taking measures to continue anyhow.
