I want to desensitize myself to SN by drinking salty water

[Tyra]

I have a long time before I will CTB.

I want to drink very salty cups of water and pretend it's SN mentally. Also while being 24 hours into a fast. And then I'll go lie down.

I wouldn't mind doing this 50 times if I have too. Just so I will be calmer for when I do CTB.

Just to trick my SI for later on.

Then when I do CTB. I can mentally trick myself into believing everything will be fine like the 50 times before when I did it with just salty water.

I know this probably won't do a lot. But it could possibly help me by like 2%.

Thats smart

This defintiely sounds like it should help!

That's smart! I wonder if there's any benefits to drinking salt water, even fake ones, as long as I pretend I believe in the benefits my brain will believe it

This is actually a really good idea! Please give updates on your progress with this and if it helps your SI go down. I honestly might try this too...

Be cafeful not to dehydrate/injure yourself by ingesting too much salt please

You can do this, but NEVER ever with 25g of salt dissolved in 50-60ml of water, as that will irritate your stomach and small intestines quite a bit and put a huge strain on your kidneys. Do it with smaller amount of salt, and drink plenty of water afterwards, and I do mean plenty.

Hey, please keep in mind that fasting will drain electrolytes and consuming a large amount of salt at once during a fast could cause issues due to abrupt swings in electrolytes such as sodium.

It'll be like barely salty. Probably just a pinch of salt or something.

It's just about the mentality of it. I don't care about the taste.

I used to take like 1/2 a tsp of baking soda as a pre workout because it makes you a lot faster/stronger after 1hr of taking it but it only lasts for a short amount of time like 10 mins? I forget the exact time.

It's just cool cuz it does work lol but it really is a short amount of time.

Baking soda is a salt (sodium bicarbonate) so I will probably just take that.

The taste doesn't matter for me… it's all just the mentality of it. And pretending it's SN.

I mostly don't taste anything anyways if I plug my nose and drink it.
