I know I am opening myself to ridicule by attempting this, but I feel like I am SS's resident theorist of stupid methods. No need to inform me.
I posted about this in an existing thread, but for documentation purposes, as well as the fact that I'm starting to feel markedly unhealthy, I'm making a standalone thread. I am aware that my attempt is notably stupid because I'm still carrying out my daily activities like work and returning home to a roommate. I plan to go to a remote area once I fully pass out, and that may occur on the third or fourth day of this "VSED" scenario, even though I know it can take one or two weeks worst-case. I know that it's not very likely that this method will be successful, so I'm thinking of it as a form of self-harm rather than a "method".
At the time of this post, I've stopped all food intake for 66 full hours, and all fluid intake for 42 full hours (the times on the original post were assumptions, during this post I pulled out my transaction receipts). I initially stopped fluid intake at the same time as my food intake, but that was interrupted when I went to the bar that I ritually attend after one of my jobs that I work once a week. I figured cheating here was okay, since it'd be my last time at that place for at least a week and I was only 24 hours in at that point.
To try to make up for the fluid I gained, I took around 30-40 various laxative pills with that drink to flush it out of my system in an attempt to hasten my dehydration.
I also am choosing to go on longer walks and live in Florida where the idle heat can cause sweating, so I can lose more water and hasten the dehydration process.
For reference, I'm normal-weight at around 160lbs, 5'7 at 23 years old.
Although I have access to SN, I'd prefer to go through with this method if I am able to, as I have not had good experiences with SN or hanging of any kind. A few years ago, I was hit in traffic as a pedestrian but that had no longterm effects outside of the coma.
Though, if I chose to go with SN during this method, it could absorb itself into my bloodstream faster, the longer I dehydrate myself. I also wonder how strong SI could be once I'm at the point of no return during a method such as short-drop hanging, as well.
This is a stupid method, as I know that since I have work over the next few days, and there's a high chance that I'll just pass out in public and not have the energy to refuse the fluid intake at the hospital. I suppose I'll just call off when I feel like I wouldn't last a ten-hour work day, and make my way to the remote area then.
Right now, my heart is heavy. Not figuratively, earlier I could feel it beat in my ears. Now it feels like an elephant is sitting on me and my range of motion is limited. I had a faster heart rate an hour ago. It's progressively getting more painful while I write this post. Sitting by myself for the next 10 hours or so.

This is an edit but it really does seem to rapidly deteriorate after a certain point. My chest feels horrible, but I'm not in pain.
Kinda just can't move and possibly at acute risk of a cardiac event.

Second edit about three hours after I made this post. I feel better, less chest pain. Went to the store and returned. It was so weird go to a food store and avoid 90% of the items. I bought some pens to write a note with and very indirectly said goodbye to a coworker.
No pain or headache 45 hours in, just a fast heartbeat.
