How bad is terminal dehydration.

[Tiredman]

Everyone says its a horrible way to die but its my only other that I'd be willing to go through if my n doesnt get here. I'm planning in going into the desert in a national park. Where it'll be +26C or more for a couple days.

Horrible. You'll be hallucinating and delurious far before you fall unconscious. Please consider other options like the salts.

I think i could handle hallucinations and delirium. Im just wondering what the pain of it would be like

 

[Gumby]

This would take a really long time too.

 

[Tomasnil]

Id say it just might be better then sleeping with a pack of hungry rats other that that in my opinion its not a good way to go

I've read mixed things about it, this wiki page makes it sound not all that bad.

This would be absolute hell. End of story. What's with people and torturous methods lately? Death by water ingestion, death by hot car, death by dehydration. I get fantasizing about these methods. But please, please don't go ahead with it. Especially don't put yourself in a situation where you can't turn back. You will die in agony.

This. Whatever happened to good old fashioned slow hang in the forest? Must be less painful.

Totally off topic, but Gumby, I just realized your Avatar is Morn. I sat beside him on an airplane to LA once in the 90's. So cool! It was one of those casual conversations. What do you do? "I'm an actor, I play Morn on DS9." Then me totally geeking out for the rest of the flight.

I think the simplicity of hanging might turn some people off. That is only reason I can think to make sense of why someone would rather die after going through weeks of pain instead of, at most, a few seconds of agony when hanging.

So awesome

I just hate the way the body looks with hanging afterwards. Like how your arms curl up and how the neck gets stretched out

 

[millefeui]

I assure you that your body won't look pretty after dehydrating either.

You'll look like beef jerky.

 

[Tiredman]

After a certain period I'd just go unconscious though so I wouldnt necessarily die in pain just the couple days leading up to it would suck

 

[Life sucks]

I tried it then stopped. It can damage the mouth and the body if failed. The problem its a very long method. The only good side is being able to cancel it and change your mind in the first days but it damage.

Not a good method at all

 

[Tiredman]

Thats why if i do go through with this method I'll do it in a place where i cant turn back

And you will suffer more than you thought could exist. Do not do this.

 

[millefeui]

You are really underestimating how bad this method is.

Still, it is your life. Do as you wish.

hi, what salts would work without puking it back up please?
thank you

Doesn't sound very painless at all to me

Idk how bad dying of thirst actually is (imo it seems like if you aren't comatose, having a ton of morphine would be the only way I could find it bearable, especially because you apparently become like incontinent), but I found partial-hanging to be agony and not at all what I expected

Edit: That said, if I wasn't going to be found for at least 10 days and had no other options, I might try it

 

[a.n.kirillov]

no harm in trying. do it next to a bottle of water. if you're that determined nothing will stop you anyway

This is the perfect method. Before that, get some prescription sleeping pills and overdose on them after sitting in the desert on hot summer season.
