I'm honestly pretty dumb and this site confuses me tbh. Anyways, I'm considering death by dehydration. However my research has shown conflicting results from peaceful to agonizing. When I just look up "death by dehydration" there are many sources saying it's actually not painful and fairly easy, considering the situation anyway. Then upon looking up "suicide by dehydration" google totally back tracks and says it's not only painful but causes seizures as well. One says it takes approximately 3-7 days to die. The other says at least 10. Like damn Dr. Google I'm relying on your assistance on a highly important project, so get you shit together.

Anyone have any knowledge on this?

Not really. But it just doesn't seem a viable method. Try searching on here. It has been discussed before. VSED it's called. Take care

I think you need a certain amount of posts to be able to use the search function. To me, dehydration does sound like an unpleasant way to go, but I wish you the best with your plans.

Death by dehydration usually takes 7 - 15 days, but this method requires a lot of willpower and character. A very gook book about suicide and dehydration is Five Last Acts by Chris Docker.

How much time takes starvation to ctb? Is there any method? Is it painful?

Dude! I tried it. It's going to take a lot of time. Maybe even more than a month. I lasted for a week then I broke it. Your tongue will become white and it'll give away that you're starving. I'm afraid you must try something else. Plus starvation is total torture.

Is It painful? Really? And if you take liquid?

I did complete dehydration+starvation. You'll feel weird for the first couple of days then it'll become your new normal. It isn't exactly painful but uncomfortable.

If you take only liquids, i suppsse you are very weak... Why did you stop it, by the painful or because it suposse a lot of time

Its called VSED. Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking. It will take 5-10 days depending on the health of the individual. I have tried it but wasnt able to get past day 5. Its difficult especially when you are exposed to food. As for physical pains, headaches will get worse from hunger and dehydration on early days.

But if you take liquids like water? How much time

It will take much longer because a person can survive without food for weeks even months as long as there's water.

Yes, it'll take a long time for healthy individuals. Don't expect it to work within days or weeks. It may take a month or even 45 days dependent on your health conditions. No, I didn't take liquids and food at all. I didn't eat or drink anything. I stopped it because I had my reasons. Plus even if I faint, I won't die easily. They'll take me to the hospital and then the psychiatric ward.

I'd recommend trying something else, starving is too much torture and takes too long

A good method if you can go into the forests in a tent and wait it out. To numb any pain I think smoking some herbs would relax you and make it painless. Even though The THC levels will zone you out the CBD levels are very high also. Anything about 20 % CBD is good for pain
No worries. As you can't search yet I thought I'd quote a thread for you. I must be ditsty as I can work out how to quote individual posts but not the whole thread. Anyway here are some posts. Maybe somebody else can quote a thread for you.

Just NO.

If you die, then it's gonna be an extremely long and agonizing death. Read stories about people stranded in a desert.

If you're saved, then you're gonna have to deal with broken kidneys and lots and lots of organ failures.

The human body is made of 70% water. Basically, this method is the very last resort if you don't have access to anything. Prisoners often choose to go with this method since they can't find anything to stab or poison themselves with.

I saw a case of dehydration on a reale.r. show- at some point your brain starts malfunctioning and you will probably start screaming and attacking people, etc. You will completely forget that you were trying to die by dehydration because your brain will no longer work in a logical way. One person has survived without water for 18 days, so you would need to chain yourself up someplace without water where no one will hear you screaming for up to three weeks. It's basically impossible to do.

I will have to correct this some - dehydration can cause violent outbursts as the brain malfunctions without water but it does not always- I read about a lady who went without water for nine day snad died in a hospital surrounded the whole time by family and friends who gave her support. The last few days sounded really torturous especially. It caan be done but it seems that for most people there are better alternatives.

It does sound like a method for someone w amazing self control and discipline, neither of which I am. I'm quite impulsive actually. I'm currently trying just to see if I can pull it off. I'm not trying to get my hopes up. I just keep reminding myself of my reasons every time I get a hunger pain. I'm only on day two lol and already pretty hungry so it's not looking promising 😅

Hunger is nothing compared to thirst. I've done a 3 days water fast (no eating, just drinking plain water) and after that the hunger just went away. But after 24 hours of not drinking anything my mind felt like it was clouded and i could not concentrate. Maybe after a few more days i could've died by dehydration, but it would've been a physically and psychologically painful death for me, even more so than other people. Some people are more psychologically dependant to food, some people to water, some people to sex, etc. It is very interesting if we look at it from an evolutionary standpoint.

I think hanging might be your best bet, since you can buy a rope easily and just start looking for a strong anchor point.

I definitely discovered it was not a viable option for me. I only made it 2 days so food. I definitely appreciate your wisdom into tho so I guess I won't be trying again. I don't think I could hang myself as I can guarantee I'd fuck that up somehow. However I have found a partial hanging method on here that I've been considering. Also I get this medication called clonidine and although I take it for adhd symptoms, it's meant for blood pressure. I'm thinking of saving 2 months worth. I can't find much information on the effectiveness tho of that unfortunately.

Overdosing works less than 2% of the time in the U.S., and when it does work it is usually an opioid like fnetanyl. Other attempts at overdosing usually lead to a hospitalization but almost never lead to ctb. Most medications won't cause ctb no matter how much you take, though they can make you sick.

There is both acute and chronic dehydration, I presume you are referring to acute dehydration meaning you'd simply stop all fluid intake. I actually suffer with chronic dehydration as a result of my anorexia with regular/excessive purging(self induced vomiting 5x a day) which causes dehydration due to low electrolytes(mainly potassium), this will most likely be my cause of death if I don't CTB with N first, my doctors have told me I'm essentially a ticking time bomb for going into cardiac arrest, which is the cause of death associated with low electrolytes/chronic dehydration. Perhaps painless if it happens in your sleep but probably not if it happens while I'm conscious- something I worry about a lot and hope to overcome my SI and drink my N before that happens.
I can't imagine acute dehydration is a peaceful death either though… I mean, the death itself aside, going without drinking fluids and having to endure excessive thirst for a prolonged period is pretty torturous in itself in my opinion

I did a bunch of research on this. I went for two weeks without food or water. I was very tired, lethargic but no where near death. This works well for people who are already sick and their systems are already compromised. This is a very time consuming way - depending on weight, etc. You can't even take a pill once you start or you have to start all over. It is a very peaceful way to go.

This pretty much matches my experience too. Having read around how common a method it is in hospice settings (and apparently relatively peaceful, unconsciousness coming before major physical shutdown) i had settled on it as a preferred method. Thank God i found easier ways as the thirst is brutal. I tried it a few times and it seems the body learns. The first time after about 5 days i had an intense climax of thirst that passed overnight and in the morning i could feel that that alarm in the back of my brain had given up trying to force me to drink.. it felt a lot like when i gave up smoking. A quite clear and defined threshold of crisis that passed. After a week my heartbeat dropped to a much slower rhythm and i backed out. Subsequent attemps i think were much more drawn out and harder as my body seemed to retain water more and the thirst was more drawn out. I didnt have that moment of breaking the thirst as i had before, so in general it was quite a lot harder. I went for 10 days twice and 11 days at the last attempt before realising I had better options. I don't recommend it.
