Method death by starvation? or organ failure?

[slitwristsbleedcold]

i was thinking about this, I've been anorexic for many years now, around 5-6.

only in the last 2 years my bmi decreased a lot, but this is not the point

the reason of this thread is to ask

how long, could i be at a dangerously low weight, and hope to get organ failure? could it be a method to ctb? how common is death by anorexia?

id like to try and suicide by starvation, but i think I'll give in after a week, which is my longest fast. I've never got able to go without food for more than that, due to my SI

sorry if this sounds dumb, but I'm really desperate

"VSED (voluntarily stopping eating and drinking)

This method is often sought out by people who hear about it use in terminally ill patients on hospice. These patients are under the care of medical professionals who are prescribing them heavy sedatives and pain killers to ensure that they are in as little distress as possible, as well as likely in the late stages of dying in which thirst and hunger cues are lost. It is also rarely done in people who have reached extreme states of spiritual enlightenment. In general, someone who does not meet either of these criteria will not be able to succeed in VSED. There are currently 0 confirmed cases of this on this site, despite many, many attempts, myself included. While people are under the impression that consuming absolutely no food or fluids will kill you within 3 days max, that is a myth. The body has the potential to make it much longer on absolutely nothing. As you get further and further into dehydration and electrolyte imbalances, your mental state will begin to suffer. Your body will go to extreme lengths to get some sort of fuel. If you have any access to food or water, you will eventually be overcome with an ravenous, primitive desire to eat and drink anything in your path. You will eventually cave. And will then have put yourself through days and days of this for nothing. "

Non-methods that should not be attempted

It's not dumb. We all get desperate. Doesn't sound like it will work. I hope you achieve peace soon.

I tried this in 2024, that is death by starvation
I passed out and almost died.
I spent 3 days in the ICU, hooked up to catheters in my arms and legs restoring the deadly mineral imbalances in my blood.
The doctor said i was dying from lack of salt in my blood not organ failure
what you are describing sounds really slow and painful
