Such a hard and long method. I couldn't make it very long

Heading into day 5 feeling crappy. Nightmares continue. Hot, uncomfortable. Thirsty. Not that super hungry. In bed 24 hours. Persistent headache. Panic attacks moderate. Anxiety high.

Thanks for keeping us updated. This is one of the two methods I'm likely to try, so it's helpful to see someone get further than I did last time.

No matter what happens, I hope you find peace.

I am not saying it is easy but it has worked for some and in the case of the German gentleman it only took 24 days which is a relatively short period of time to suffer in my opinion.
I wonder if they were drinking anything while not eating. It's much quicker but harder also. I've gone 7 days without water; 14 without food. It's hard but attainable. Thank you.

VSED is usually done in hospitals with lots of painkillers and sedatives.
This is important to note.

I've tried VSED twice. I slept a great deal the first time, and was able to get farther with my attempt. Severe depression and dehydration will both leave you utterly exhausted, even if you do nothing at all. The second time I was more alert, and it was hell. Blinding migraines, nausea and panic attacks (from missing my meds), sleeplessness for days on end.

I really can't recommend VSED unless you've got skilled and supportive staff offering you palliative care.

Hypothetically, VSED is possible with just you lying in bed alone, but I think most people would find it prohibitively difficult in practice.

I agree it is not easy

This is similar to what I was considering but what a brutal way to go out

I hear you and everyone reacts differently to not eating. I didn't eat for 50 days last October/November and I am still here. Not eating was easy for me, not torturous. I stopped only because I was frustrated and I thought it wouldn't work as a suicide method. I wished I had continued. I am trying again. I have not eaten for 48 hours and I am not hungry at all, I guess my metabolism is now adapted to not eating much because I have had restricted diets many times in the past.
Did you also stop drinking during those 50 days?

I'm concerned I won't have the will power for 24 minutes via SN... nevermind 24 days. I'm such a wimp.
