Help Is dying from starvation/dehydration really this bad?

[bluesk]

Hi, my first post :) Anyway, it's already too late for me to end my life so I have to act quick. My mental state doesn't even let me leave my bed so I haven't eaten and drank anything for 1,5 days (again), so I'm thinking if I can just give up and rot here. Which one would be easier: dehydrating or starving? Can starvation create serious problems in future if you survive it? Will those consequences come quick, are they deadly or just will make you suffer? How long will it take for a short, skinny and already unhealthy person? I would appreciate answers written from experience - please don't scare me because you heard something once somewhere, it happens with every method I've researched. If it's really that hard to die this way then I'll hang myself, but I need to know if it's worth it.

I just kept ended up eating something out of impulse and stayed malnourished for 6+ months! I wouldn't recommend it

I'm recovering from a restrictive ED. In my experience I would not recommend starvation. It'll be slow, painful and extremely miserable. Starvation can also cause lots of health problems

absolutely terrible
can imagine it being a prolonged period of suffering worse than death itself.

I barely ate for six months and wrecked my stomach permanently. It can take weeks of not eating anything. It's very painful. And if it goes wrong you can end up worse off.

This is a bad idea. Starvation means experiencing extreme pain for weeks on end, as well as having to resist your body's natural urge to find food, which will be very difficult if you really are starving. Dehydration is no better. Literally anything else would cause you less suffering.
