Method Suicide by dehydration?

[HyperEclipse]

I have no desire or drive to live anymore. I've already begun to stop eating and drinking because my drive to do that is gone too, even if I'm hungry or thirsty. I simply don't care anymore. And then I wondered if I can speed the process along a little by trying to dehydrate my body, otherwise the process may take weeks or months. So I had a thought. Maybe I could go to the store. I could buy a canister of salt and only drink salt water to drawl water out of my blood. I could get a diuretic to force my body to get rid of that salt and water faster. I could also pick up some caffeine pills to prevent migraines since I'm addicted to caffeine and wouldn't be able to drink it. Caffeine is also a natural diuretic. I even thought about picking up some Benadryl as a sedative in case the suffering is too much. Honestly not sure if this would work. It wouldn't raise alarm with other people in my house at first because I can do it secretly. But once dehydration nears a severe stage I might not be able to hide it anymore. I might become disoriented or confused or too weak to move. I'm also sort of see this as giving up and making the process more comfortable.

you could try ig but i went 35hrs no water (because i was ill and couldn't get out of bed and my parents didn't care to give me any) and my vision was all blurry and i started hallucinating, was nasty. i feel like SI would kick in before you were able to die from it?

Not sure honestly. Does it matter much if I've already given up living anyway? Maybe my self preservation would kick in eventually but it's pretty dead at the moment. And with my past suicide attempts I found that even though my self preservation instincts were going haywire, once I was able to calm down I could make peace with the fact that I might die. Also, this is not my first time losing my drive (or instinct to sustain life) or really maybe I should say I've been slowly losing it over time. I've gone three weeks without eating once before someone finally convinced me to start eating. Just came out of the hospital. Had gone about 2.5 weeks without eating before then before I finally gave up and started eating so they would take me off precautions. I had also stopped drinking at this time too. I would drink -some- though. Like maybe a tiny 4oz cup of water a day for at least 5 days, maybe more. I did it mostly to ease the discomfort. I was aware I wouldn't be able to die that way in a hospital setting, they simply won't let you do it and I'd end up with an IV in my arm. But realistically 4oz of water a day is really not sustainable and was hardly doing anything for me and my blood pressure was dipping a little low. I'm severely mentally ill (even though it might seem like it at first glance but I am on a suicide forum, so there's proof) and I have some pretty whacked out abilities to harm myself. It's like I have a internal drive to hurt myself actually. I imagine it can get scary to onlookers, especially if it starts to scare me at times even though I've come to accept it.

As a side note, hydroxyzine probably would work better as a sedative than benadryl. I took it a couple times while I was at the hospital. It's a terrible anxiety medication but a great sedative. Maybe they didn't send me home with the prescription because they knew I would try to hurt myself with it… I was definitely a bit of a problem child for them. I kept finding ways to hurt myself.

Your family is likely to do something once they see there's something wrong. Also, that's an unnecessarily long and painful death.

 

[toshiyuki22]

human body can survive a long time on those circumstances. I've heard that you stay up for 1/2 week without water.

 

[FuneralCry]

That method sounds unbearable to try and succeed with to me, but anyway I wish you the best with your plans and I hope that you find the freedom you are searching for.

Unnecessarily long and painful? Yes, it is. I've already considered that. But quicker methods are hard to obtain. I've already tried self- poisoning twice. It didn't work. I've tried 2 violent methods too. I also like to think of physical repercussions if I survive when I choose methods. There's a higher chance of surviving than dying. Dehydrating isn't quick or comfortable but there's not much harm done long term to the body if you survive. And it's easier to treat in the hospital than poison guzzling (though I find drinking poison comes easy to me) because they might try to give you charcoal if they find out you ingested toxins and that doesn't sound pleasant. Actually, I would rather suffer the effects of the poison than being force fed charcoal and suffering the after affects of that.

it can be done, but it takes TREMENDOUS willpower. it could take anywhere from 3 days to 10. (ive heard stories of people dry fasting for up to 21 days, but i cant find anything to support those claims). if you are in a colder climate it will take a little longer, or rather, it will be closer to the 10-ish day mark than the 3 day mark. you would need to be isolated for the entire time, or you risk getting caught and "rescued". if youre long enough into the process and recieve medical attention, you will be left with permanent damages. as i understand it, its not physically painful, but is very tough mentally. at some point, you wont have enough fluid in your body to pump blood to your vital organs and you will pass out, most likely never waking up again.

You could. People do VSED in hospice, but they have access to morphine and benzodiazepines. It will probably suck, but I do know of someone who was in hospice who did not eat but would occasionally drink and lasted like four months. You really have to commit to absolutely no intake to die quick. From what I've read most people die in like a week.

Unfortunately, I doubt you'll ever get the dehydration method to work. Even if you manage to dehydrate yourself for a few days you'll be discovered. You could even end up in a psychiatric ward.

Unfortunately I don't have a way to be completely isolated.

Idk man that sounds pretty tedious

Yeah, I'm afraid of being discovered. Already been in the psych ward twice this year. Just got back from one actually. My therapist seemed really concerned about me yesterday and almost sent me to the hospital again but I was like "at least let me go on vacation first. I won't do anything until then."

then sadly, i dont see a way of pulling it off. the signs of dehydrations arent easy to hide from someone standing in front of you or talking to you

 

[HyperEclipse]

I'm not doing anything else with that time. Even if it doesn't kill me, I'll get to feel like I'm abusing myself which my backwards wired mind somewhat enjoys.

 

[BruceWayne]

with all due respect some of the people here are living in a fantasy.

dehydrate yourself to death? why would you want a slow painful death that could take weeks or days?

 

[painful existence]

All you need is some charcoal which can be bought easily,a chimney starter,a grill and an enclosed space preferably a car.I think all the things are quite easy to obtain and the method is peaceful and quick.
Just look at CO method.It is my favourite one

Never expected to lose so many brain cells after signing up on this forum. Dying from cancer, swallowing razors, dehydrating to death.. Really? Looks like life making us suffer isn't enough for some people?! This life is already sadistic enough and people are trying to escape the suffering, not the opposite.

 

[Elle]

Interesting..

Why do people undergo any other method if they have legal access to morphine?

I mean they will tell by weight difference

Because hospice will never give you enough morphine for an overdose lol. It is illegal. I'm sure some hospices do some stuff under the table but it is never reported on because it's technically murder. Some people may overdose on prescription but hospice themselves will never allow an overdose under their agency and care

 

[saddestbunny]

ur more likely to get kidney stones than to die this way unless your mental strength and resolve is absolute and no one force feeds you or gives you fluids - highly recommend seeking a better method when possible

Yeah it's weird seeing the massive influx of stuff like this. I almost feel like some of them are trolling

 

[Praestat_Mori]

I don't understand why someone would want to have such a long and painful way to ctb that probably will end up in a hospital and not with the desired result. I suggest you look into other more reliable methods, should this be your true desire. I hope you can find peace.

Oh..ok.

 

[front of me]

Do you try it

 

[HyperEclipse]

Do you try it

I didn't try it. But I did accidentally get severely dehydrated. I got so depressed that I really wasn't drinking… anything. For days. I was starting to get some nasty cognitive distortion. I could've just let it go I suppose, but I knew my family would find me when I finally passed out. And I can't risk ending up back in the hospital for safety reasons. (I know that sounds strange) So I forced myself to drink, which was also really hard. I still haven't recovered. Water still doesn't sound appealing. I've been finding it easier to get myself to drink milk. So I've been surviving off a glass of milk a day. I guess I'm still dehydrated but not so bad I risk hospitalization. I haven't been eating much either. I believe if I really wanted to though, and no one was around to stop me, I could simply waste away. And I probably would if no one was there.
