what you think ? I read that death by dehydration and not eating takes 3-7 days. also I read that it's not painfull much it's like slow euthanasia, so if we use something that puts minimum 7 days for sleep maybe job is done, but it's need to be left for several days.

is there something that's put for sleep minimum 7 days?

The strong feelings of thirst alone sound pretty unpleasant, but I suppose if you can be asleep for that length of time it would be better, but what puts you to sleep for that long without being dangerous in itself? And it taking so long is a negative. It's not a method I like the sounds of.

Are you sure what you were reading wasn't about people who were very close to death anyway? Like someone elderly, dying in hospital?

what's matter maximum 7 days person will be dead, no matter person is ill or not.

p.s. it's not pleasent method, you are right, but someone who can't finds some painless method, at least they will know something very simple and not much painfull method and they will feel more comfortable.

3 to 7 days is incorrect, unless you're already in gravely condition. If you're healthy, it can take weeks to months to die from this.

If I remember correctly, after your second day of not eating, your body goes into survival mode, and eats away at those reserved calories. Then from there it goes after your stored fat, and that's when you start going downhill from there.

Also, you have to take your body weight into factor. The more you weigh, the longer your body will survive.

Remember, this is from what I have read, if I'm remembering it right.

They say you can live up to 2 weeks without water, much longer without food.

I remember when I was dehydrating once but I was also eating (cause I was doing it for another purpose) then, even dishwashing liquid was resembling tasteful beverage. :D Despite the fact, I think that dehydration is quite achievable; If I didn't live with other people in the same flat I would trying to ctb by that.

I don't think there's anything that can put you to sleep for that many daysā€¦ this is really my only option I can't get any drugsā€¦ I can't hang myself or stab myselfā€¦ I thought about throwing myself out of a moving car but I don't think I'd want to do that to the other people involved all I know is that I'm desperate every second is torture for me I have physical issues that might not seem like a lot for somebody who has terminal cancer but they have compromised my quality of life to the point where I have no quality-of-life

A professional suicide assistant once said it's very hard and the only succesful case he heard about was with the help of doctors. So yea, you need to be old and weakened.

Better recheck your info...that for old already close to death people.

The average for normal people is 12-14 days...that's the average so it means some live beyond that.

I agree. People and major pain meds are needed but maybe it's possible without.

I've went without eating for nearly a month, and I survived. Of course water probably helped keep me from dying.

AFAIK, if someone stops eating, they can remain alive for quite a lot of time. OTOH, quitting drinking fluids theoretically will kill someone in about one week or less.

Or so it's claimed.

I heard always that water max 12 days before dying and food less max 30 days. But there's rare cases ofc
