I am curious how long it takes to starve/dehydrate to ctb. Its been about a month (on the 29th) since I've really ate anything. I'll go 4 days then have 2/3 small bites of a sandwich before getting nauseous. I think I went a week then had a small sip of hot cocoa? Im very thirsty, its kind of awful lol but I swish some water to make it better Ive read it takes 2 weeks? Ive also lost about (160/132) 28 pounds in that time. I haven't weighed myself in 2 days though. i'm also very weak and its a little hard to breathe, its in very short breathes. Im not confused easily or out of it as far as I can tell.

I have no appetite at this point but a pain in my left side which comes and goes which I can only assume is a hunger pang?

Also last night my heart was beating so fast and hurt as if I was going to have a heart attack. The pain went up my left arm, neck and into my head and I had a bad migraine. That lasted about 2 hours.

Also a friend of a friends just passed, collapsed and passed quickly I feel very sad for their family but I thought to myself how lucky and not painful at all of a way to go. And how I wished it were me.

Edit: not so much by choice. I cant stomach anything without throwing up but also don't have an appetite. Just was curious.

i've tried it before and it will become more and more unpleasant with time. by the time i ended up caving my hands and feet were colorless and cold, i couldn't sweat to regulate my body temperature, etc. it will not be pleasant and it may take longer than you think

I'm not going to tell you to eat/drink because that's your choice to make but ctb by starvation is going to take a while & I'd imagine will become exceedingly painful. Also, if it doesn't work, rather worried you'll end up suffering the physical effects from damage caused. Is there another method you could choose?

Starving yourwself to death or dying from dehydration are almost impossible methods to do when you are in a country that has plenty of food. You could end up wrecking your heealth though. - one child who had a very restricted diet became blind and deaf due to this- malnutrition can cause this oro other horrible effects. This si really a dangerous method and unlikely to work.

Im not actively choosing this method it choose me I guess? I'm really looking into sn because it seems like the easiest way. But seems kinda difficult to get 95%+

I thought about the wrist and even bought a pack of razors (with some goo gone so I didn't overthink what the employees thought) but I've read that could take up to 2 hours and I could still survive. If I do survive my living is as an artist so that doesnt sound pleasant to have no use of my hands if it fails and sounds very painful.

Cutting your wrists does not work. That's pure Hollywood nonsense.

The thing about VSED is that even a single sip of water every couple of days could greatly extend the length of time it takes you to die. It's not the most realistic method.

It can work. I saw a video of a guy doing it. He also cut very deep into his wrist and he also had the hot shower on and would get in and out of it.
It's definitely not a reliable method though. I wouldn't recommend it.
