Anyone ever tried dehydration?

[glendaaa]

If you have, how long did you last? Has anyone here ever died from it?

I tried it while I was in the mental hospital. I stopped eating or drinking and I believe I made it to day four? I cannot remember if it was three, four, or five. I was pacing the halls as often as I could to try and expend as much energy as possible. I managed to loose 10lbs in a week from the water weight. I was very tired and by the last day I wasn't able to sweat any more so I was uncomfortably hot from pacing the walls. I actually ended up passing out because I got my blood drawn and I was so dehydrated I didn't have much blood to give. I peed very dark yellow for the first couple days but oddly enough by the end I was peeing clear again despite having no intake. By the last day my feet had turned white and I was incredibly weak and it was scaring me so I caved in.

I tried it as a teenager (long time ago). I think it lasted almost three days before being forced to drink because I passed out. It was definitely very uncomfortable, but also very blurry and confused in my mind, that's why I don't remember many things from that event (I was also in a completely catatonic state). I did not experience any hallucination as some report. It was very unpleasant, but not painful as I remember it. You have great chances of being found in time and perfused though.

Yes, but almost all in hospice homes I.e. drugs at the ready and family in support. If you're young and doing it alone, no chance! If the thirst doesn't get you, after a few days you'll have real problems. It'll be agony and no other method will test your SI skills like this one. If you resist, your subconscious will take over after a while and find you water at any cost. Unless you're cuffed to a tree in the middle of nowhere, this'll never ever work..

I did a challenge in 2020. I wanted to test myself and my body's reaction. 3 years ago, just when quarantine had started and the lockdowns. I decided to experiment how long I'll be able to fast without food and water, was first planning to do 24 hours but then decided to change the plan and just go as much as I could.

First day was easy, I've done it before a few times. The only thing I felt was hunger, wasn't thirsty at all. It was hard to fall asleep tho because l was hungry, but it's normal. Eventually passed out.

The 2nd day, my mouth was very dry, I kept swallowing my own saliva but it still felt dry. I tried to sleep most of the time but was just laying in my bed as it was hard to fall asleep. Not because I was very hungry, in fact, I felt less hungry than on the first day, but the annoying feeling in my throat and in my stomach, it's like gas had filled up and made me feel like a balloon. Eventually, I don't really remember it so well but I passed out again but barely slept most of its time.

The 3rd day I woke up with a crazy headache and each time I stood up, I got extremely dizzy and could barely hold myself up, my head was spinning every time I walked, I was laying in my bed and the dizziness went away, thought I would take a little nap I would gain more energy but man was I so wrong.. I felt like I was gonna pass out and it was hard to breath as well, this made me panic and so, in the middle of the day, I immediately ran to the sink and gulped a half liter water. Then I went to the couch and decided to wait till I feel better, I immediately felt relief in my throat. I was still dizzy and in panic, trying to calm down. An hour later.. my dizziness started to go away and I ate a little bit of tomato and cheese with some bread, didn't eat too much of it because I already felt nauseous enough like I was about to puke at any moment.

And so, I was kinda surprised, that I even did that. Who knows, I could've died in the most horrific way, I was at the worst state at that moment and it would've been a hell dying like that. I was mad at myself for even doing that challenge but later when I calmed down after some time, I was feeling more proud because I wasn't afraid and could hold myself for a half day while feeling like I was about to lose consciousness after the extreme panic I had experienced the whole time. I even felt like if I was going to eat, that I would die from that, really made no sense but I felt very confused and lost at that moment. That's why I think it was survival instinct who took over because I don't remember wanting to drink or eat, it just happened.

Basically, that was my experience trying to fast/dehydrate myself as long as I could.

Would I recommend it to ctb? Absolutely not. Because everyone is different, I can't say that it's impossible but it's definitely a very slow process, because your body will do everything to keep you alive, like in my case, I didn't even know that I wanted to drink the water, I just did. So if you really wanna do it, locking yourself with no way out would be the only option, which I wouldn't recommend.

Hopefully my post wasn't too long :)

I remember trying this myself (naïve attempt in my case). That feeling of quenching your thirst after so long is beautiful but also bizarre. I could literally feel the coldness of the water swishing around my head as my brain said thanks!

Ohhh you're right, that feeling is very beautiful. I felt the water going all the way through my chest.

It felt the same like drinking ice cold sprite on a very hot day

Makes you want to do it again! Or maybe..

If you have, how long did you last? Has anyone here ever died from it?

Yeah, from what i know many people with terminal illnesses commit suicide that way. I heard its a relatively peaceful way to die once you get to the end. I got to day 3 before my urge to drink got so bad that i just did it. Im guessing im just still not ready for death but when i manage to beat my fear that is surely on my top 3 ways to end it all.

It's almost impossible to achieve unless you're stranded in a desert without any possible supply of water. Your subconscious will take over and will get you that water cause it's deemed you incapable at this point. A marathon runner (in that very environment) tried to cut his wrists and die cause of the anguish, but of course he didn't bleed much. Another individual who planned to take his life this way was found dead cuffed to a tree (key thrown). He'd tried to bite his own arm off in the delusion / regret, so he succeeded in his attempt, but by God, he suffered so much more than most. It sounds peaceful, but in the outside world it'll be brutal and unachievable unfortunately.

i lasted 5 days it's terrible way to go

 

[Rational man]

Not intended but its something that happened to me because of my failed disease gut system. I ended up in emergency. It was awful. Vomiting, pain everywhere and had to be put on a drip. I imagined its like people who get lost in the desert without water with vultures waiting to peck at you. It was just awful.

I also tried this method when I was in middle school out of desperation, looking back I was way too confident, only lasted 3 days. I got really disoriented and I saw myself in the mirror and I looked pretty bad, in the end I ended up in hospital. I wouldn't really recommend this method unless you really know you can do it.

Do you think you could've easily carried on with it if you didn't get scared, like is it uncomfortable to get to the point of death do you think if you saw it through to the end?

Were you still eating too?

Yes, but almost all in hospice homes I.e. drugs at the ready and family in support. If you're young and doing it alone, no chance!

Have you attempted VSED or terminal dehydration before?
