How long?

[qwerty1969]

I am desperate. I am underweight because I barely eat. I am bed ridden. 54 year old male. I want to die asap.

If I don't eat or drink anything how long before I die?

I am going crazy. I want to die ASAP.

Not drinking anything could take you out in a few days but it is a writhing death full of hallucinations and suffering. We do not dry well.

No food can take a month depending on your unique physical properties and metabolism.

Hello,

I am sorry to hear that. Nevertheless, I must advise against it. It is true that the grace period (actually sufficiently known) is about 72 hours (this is already to be considered as an upper limit), in which a person can do without water. This certainly sounds little at first, but the time becomes unbearably long and the feeling of dying of thirst is very agonizing. If in that case your instinct to drink again wins out, in the worst case you will have to live on with severe liver damage. In this sense, I advise you to read a SN guide, for example.

Best regards
