Method (I feel like this is a horrible plan) I haven't drink or eaten anything in 32 hours

[lost_one]

I am tired and depressed. I hate myself and my life.... Voluntary stop eating and drinking felt like a good enough option for a coward like me, cause not doing something seemed easier than an active method. But idk. I am afraid, my family will notice the symptoms. I've had a headache for like 8h now. idk what to do

These things only work when you're in the middle of nowhere. If you're in a position where you're around your family, or any humans, they'll notice and thwart you.
In any case, I hope you find peace, no matter how you arrive there. Godspeed.

VSED is probably one of the most difficult methods to perform. As you already said - you're around family. Most likely they will interfere.

I'm sorry you have to go through this.

Why do you wanna die?

 

[darksouls]

I am so sorry for your situation
that all sounds very cruel
I hope you find relief from suffering

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.

I have a family member that went out this way but as another poster already mentioned, at some point you need hospice involved. You won't succeed doing it alone. That all being said no one can force you to eat or drink. This family member had MS that was progressing to the point she would lose independence and that doesnt qualify for death with dignity in the states. So she took matters into her own hands and hired a death doula and arranged for hospice. It still took almost 3 weeks for her to die but the last week she was in a coma. The body will hang on as long as it can. Anyway that is my experience with VSED. It is a legal loophole if done with the correct assistance.

Hi. It is a horrible plan. Either your family will notice and interfere, which with its consequences about how they react to it, or you yourself will. Like the previous comments say, most likely, almost a guarantee, the hunger will take over, override the brain and all your other pains and force you to eat. I've stayed for similar and longer durations of time without eating, not as a means to die cos I know that doesn't work, you always end up changing your mind and feeling like eating is kind of the best idea ever.

However I get where it's coming from. The "not doing something rather than an active choice", yeah. If you are used to that overwhelming tiring depression and innaction and just lying there wanting to die all day this is one of the first things that comes to mind and you Want to do it. It feels like the next logical step of lethargy, just one that really doesn't go anywhere due to the way our brains are wired... But I feel you there.

Don't know if you've eaten or drunk already, you probably will soon. Specially drinking I'd say pretty important once you start feeling like total shit. Up to you when, really this whole thing matters little, and I don't mean it in a bad way. I'd like to think no pain you go through will be in vain, nor anyone's, in whatever form that sentence may take, but this pain you are inflicting on yourself right now born out of all your other pain... sadly won't lead anywhere. It'll go in a matter of time. And I'm really sorry you are even in a position to have wanted to do this. I hope it did a bit of a reset and you can feel a bit better afterwards even if just for a little, that can sometimes happen so... here's hoping anything good can come out of this. Big hugs <3

You will find it very difficult to die of thirst. It's unpleasant. Dying of hunger might be less unpleasant, but it takes about 2 months, and someone will intervene when you become too weak to resist.

If you really want to die of thirst, you would need to take a one-way trip far out into the desert, without water, on a day when the temperature is over 40 degrees C (104 degrees F). You wouldn't last 12 hours. If you are not prepared to do that, I think you need to look for a different method.

Why do you wanna die?

I feels easy, I don't even feel hungry, only a little thirsty... I now that will probably change, with time, but yeah my biggest concern is that in a day or two I think I will get too drowsy and my sister that lives with me will notice, and I will be to weak to stop her. About why, I just hate life, and existing. I am tired of it.

Thanks, and I am sorry for your loss. That is the main problem I guess, if I just pass out, my sister will take me to the hospital.

oh well, no I haven't eaten yet, now that I know it's pointless I might although I am not hungry at all. But it is exacly like you put, I could just lay in bed or stay in my computer and not do anything, and not doing anything is easy. But thanks for your kind words.
