I don't think there is any scientific basis for drinking water when you're not thirsty. I suspect this idea originated from marketing for bottled water.

You sound like my late grandpa.
On a personal note: I know some of the protagonist's sentiments from myself. If anyone is interested, the following things have helped me monumentally during very hard times:
- Device-free time outside, in nature, with your phone at home
- Self-cooked meals from basic ingredients
- Drinking around 1 liter of water for each 30kg of body weight per day
- Follow a daily wind-up and wind-down routine
Just the physical act of going through these motions can already help. You can trick your brain to respond positively even if you don't feel like it (e.g., http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/bul0000194).
