If I don't have a bottle of water next to me, I won't drink water. If I do have a bottle of water next to me, I'll get distracted by it constantly and drink so much that I'm going to the bathroom every 5 minutes

I can one up this:
I can place it in front my my eyes and I'll look around it. Once I get headaches I might respond to the call of H2O.

It’s also confidently incorrect misinformation, which makes it worse.

Others here are neglecting to mention that it’s literally the top side effect of stimulant medications after elevated heart rate.

Same! That was like the first "WTF?" thoughts I had (while also lulz-ing). Had to share somewhere that would know the feeling. I have large doses of Impostor Syndrome in basically all parts of my day to day life. But one of the weirder ones is that I might not be actually ADHD and the meds that have been a game changer will be taken away (especially as the pushes to make getting them harder arise). But then I read/watch stuff about ADHD that are waaaaaay to deep a cut into my life to have that "oh shit, well I most certainly have ADHD for real then." lol. Just so so many parts of my personality and youth just make sense.
