The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

So what is going on when people don't get the right signals?
Like if I don't drink for a full day, I don't experience thirst. But sometimes I do. Not sure what makes the difference.
Once, I tried to just drink a specific amount every hour or something. But I also had a situation where I had to vomit (just water) presumably because I drank too much in a short while.
Is there some way to train yourself to be aware and able to tell these signals correctly again? Nowadays I usually drink something when I feel a headache because apparently that is also typical for dehydration.
If you don't get the right signals, it definitely is detrimental to having the right behavior.
Regarding thirst it is well known that elderly people don't feel thirst to drink as much as they should.
This harms the kidneys and people may actually die earlier from such a thing.
I am not aware that this can be trained. You should ask a professional, if you urine is dark yellow you should definitely drink more water.
Somebody told me to check the color to know
Problem is that, since I don't drink that much, I also don't go to the toilet often.
Especially when I was still working. I would forget to go to the toilet.
I would typically only go once per day or maybe once per two days.
If my memory was better I could probably just remember to drink often enough.
Things like drinking water is about attention, not so much about memory
Maybe there are too many other and stronger sensations for me to be able to notice and pay attention to my thirst?
IDK how you're experiencing things. If it's "ahedonia" it could be that the signals aren't reaching your conscious part or that it didn't learn to process them meaningfully
