Starving method

[Funeralprincess]

I never really understood why people find starving to be so bad. If I had like a cool group of people to go to a beach and starve to death with I honestly would haha. I say this because I used to have anorexia and it got bad to the point I was hospitalized, but I never really felt pain. Honestly the only thing I had were cramps, but I'd take pain meds and that kind of balanced everything out. I would not mind doing VSED in a hospital, but of course they don't accept patients that are mentally ill which kind of sucks, but to me VSED wouldn't be that bad. Yeah starving can take a while, but when I had an ED and took pain pills it was honestly pretty manageable. I just don't want to die alone (not my preference) but if I had A lot of Trusted people who wanted to starve and we all had pain meds that would be pretty cool to be honest.
I think dying with other suicidal people is nice and it gives comfort in a sense. I do wish hospitals did VSED for people like me. I'd just request lots of sleeping pills while I do VSED there so all I'd have to do is nap. It would honestly be the best thing ever

To me it does not sound as bad dying that way in a hospital, but I feel like apart from that I would probably never be able to go through with it. I think a lot of people find the thought of vsed to be horrible as it is a slow method and I would rather the dying process be over quickly. No one should have to die alone if that is what they want, suicide really should be accepted in society.

I would love it if I had a community of people who wanted to do VSED together. I did 5 days of VSED when I was homeless. The only thing that made me give up was that I was laying on a cement ground under a bridge and the mosquito bites that covered me from head to toe. The thirst and hunger wasn't that bad.

Starving to death it's basically agonizing for 15 days or more

I would have tried this method too as a fellow rexie/bulimia stan, the only problem is, is that it'd take way too long. I think my body has built up an immunity to me starving myself so I'm not very sure. I don't get pains when I'm hungry except for the first 2 days of starving myself so I know it wouldn't be painful. Just tiring and boring.

Going without food honestly isn't that bad, and this is coming from someone severely overweight, who loves to eat. I recently went four days without a single bite. The lack of fluids is hell, though. I played around with VSED at home, no pain meds. Thirst is the part that got me, not hunger. I lasted for two days with no water. I'm sure that if you had hospice/some sort of palliative care support, the experience would be much more tolerable.

A quick suggestion for those of you planning to give it a try: go cold turkey. Once you stop eating, don't mess around a eat tiny bits here and there. That will only make the hunger last longer. Also, starving while still remaining hydrated takes a LOT longer. I found a You Tube video about a lady who only drank water for 100 days. She was still taking care of her family during the process. The before/after photos were astounding. She lost a ton of weight, but didn't die.

Also for those considering this try to water fast for 5-10 days before going into a dry fast so you can prepare yourself and clean yourself out before jumping into a dry fast.

The religious lady? I saw that.

4 days, even 5 is not that bad. I'd be scared to go further. I'm sure it's not meant to be pleasant experience compared to other quicker methods

I respect that! I also think VSED in a hospital is a lot quicker than VSED from home, because medical settings can provide a lot more medications for any discomfort

Ooof ! Yes that sounds horrible

For some yes it could be agonizing. For me, it wasn't so much agonizing when I was starving, but Morris annoying at times s

I get that. I have had bulimia and BED before, so I've had a range of EDs and honestly anorexia was the most comfortable out of all of them. I think in a hospital setting it would be a lot less time than at home for many reasons

Yep as long as you're hydrated you can go for a very long time. I'd say being in the care of doctors the process is a lot less in terms of time because they give you a lot of medications. I'm a foodie too honestly haha but I'd love to do VSED if the right environment allowed it

4 days, even 5 is not that bad. I'd be scared to go further. I'm sure it's not meant to be pleasant experience compared to other quicker methods

I'll say it really depends on the person. For me because I was anorexic for so long it never really bothered me, but I also took pain meds. VSED in a hospital of course is definitely a lot better when tlaking about this method though because they give you even more medicine

I feel the same way, I only kick it into high gear(bulimia) during spring and summertime because of less clothing making me insecure:,) Are there any other methods you have thought of it have available?
