Death could happen in as little as 58 days. This probably includes dehydration as well.

 

[RainAndSadness]

Very painful and exhausting process. I would rather OD on something. It must be a horrible experience to feel how your body slowly breaks down during these 58 days. I also remember that someone already tried to ctb via dehydration a while ago and there was a lot of speculation if that person was serious or not. I wouldn't recommend it.

I think I'd rather starve, if it would definitely lead to death, than anything that could leave me a vegetable. (hanging, CO, SA, etc)

Yes, i remember that...i think she gave in after 3 days, but i wasn't sure if she was serious...

 

[blueming]

I tried this before, it's very unpleasant. I wouldn't recommend using this method at all unless you absolutely have no other option.

 

[Fucking loving it]

Yes I would. I have an ED so yeah.

 

[Lifeisatrap]

Yes, would probably be my method if I lived alone. It'd be easier for me because I don't have an appetite or motivation to cook or buy anything to sustain myself. It would certainly require alot of will power especially for people who love eating. But that's the case for all methods. Would prefer not to though as it doesn't seem like a pleasant way to go at all. But it is the most natural.

I've heard someone do this successfully with amphetamines and opiates to curb the psychological and physical discomfort.

Very true, it is most natural way to ctb and it is harder for people who love to eat.

Looking at VSED (voluntary suicide by not eating and drinking),usually in terminal patients, there's some recent reports that say it's not actually that painful at all. I was very surprised to discover this as I always understood it to be pretty agonising....
here's a video to watch....https://www.bioedge.org/bioethics/new-documentary-tells-personal-story-of-vsed/12694
But there is pain medication usually involved so that would probably be why. Still no reason you can't mimic that methodology https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5745593/
Lots to consider.

I think there is a reason why people dont do that. Else i'm sure this forum wouldnt exist if we can just die pain free through starvation. Although there are many water only diets. There would be a alot of fainting and sleeping involved. It seems abit disrespectfu to l as well because there are many out there who have no food to eat. Yet we are here choosing not to eat when there is plenty of food in the fridge. The guilt would torment me.

Oh,the dehydration would definitely be first. Have you heard of "dry fasting"? It's making a big comeback. probably can google it.

it must be hard to wait 58 days to die

I just searched it up and i gues it can be done. But you would have to ease into it.Not straight away else ot would be impossible to accomplish. But still it is risky.The most people have done os 30 or 40 days. But they ll still had a fruit or a drink in between the 24 hours to complete it.

 

[worldexploder]

Hell no. What a slow and torturous process. Death by water intoxication would be faster. You would be dead within hours.

 

[Mizzmini45]

Yea but the though of 50-60 years to deal with the pain 58 days don't seem that bad but I understand it's seems like a awful way to die

 

[EmptyArms]

Honestly, I struggle to skip lunch.

 

[detached]

If I would live alone and no one could stop me, then yeah, I could do it. I've struggled with an ed earlier and its easy for me to avoid the feeling of hunger. Being autistic also makes it easier for my brain to not recognize hunger pains, and I can easily convince myself that I'm not hungry.

If you choose this method, make sure to clean out your insides really well first. I went on a 3 week water fast last year and ended up with some really bad problems due to fecal impaction. Throwing up without a break for days, unable to poop but I felt the awful urge to do it, and it was so uncomfortable and awful, and it lasted days. Also, because of all the puking I now pee whenever I sneeze and I was left with a permanent constipation problem. I'd done a lot of 2 week fasts in the past without this problem but I'm just saying - preparing is important.

Medications (that maybe you can't just get off of) can also cause a lot more side effects to the fasting if you're not eating, so be sure to check that if you're on any.

Normally fasting can be mainly pleasant except for a few migraines and occasional nausia along the way. And after a few days to a week you stop being more than mouth hungry, and you'll even start to feel your thinking become clearer.

Also, read up and be aware of "refeeding syndrome" in case you change your mind about the method after several weeks of fasting. Otherwise you could have swelling, diarrhea, possible seizures, throwing up, coma...).

If you change your mind on the method, and it's been more than a few weeks, you can't just start eating normally, you have to start slow.

 

[BecauseOfMyPurpose]

I have an ED and I'll just say that, for me at least, it is 100% doable and really not that bad. I go days without eating and when I do eat it's very little. More of a mind over matter kinda thing in my opinion.
You could try taking meds that decrease your appetite to get you started but once you go a few days without eating it gets much easier to restrict.
The hardest part for me is overcoming the hypoglycemic attacks because those can get rough.
I usually keep a few fun sized snickers in my purse and if i feel especially sick I'll eat one slowly to get my blood sugar back up to an okay range so I don't feel as sick.
Starvation is not my method to CTB but it is definitely doable.

 

[wahrheitsliebe]

no, it sounds way too painful and long. a lot of suffering. plus one doesn't know if you're going to eat and drink again after a while, strong will ian required

 

[lotus11]

don't try it you won't die just become extremely malnourished! I have an eating disorder and have lived of basically nothing for 10 years and I am still here. Honestly most weeks go by and maybe ill drink a smoothie and then take laxatives or vomit it out of me....Its true that I do not restrict water or liquids in anyway but still, that you will die in 30 days... I doubt it.

 

[TimeToBiteTheDust]

That looks painful and it takes too long. I prefer SN. I prefer some minutes of suffering than 24 days.

 

[terry_a_davis]

I've came quite close to starving. Due to schizophrenic beliefs i was eating 200cals a day and 2 small cups of water for a few months. I lost loads of weight and ended up being force fed through a nasal tube in a mental hospital.

I don't remember feeling that hungry. I became so weak i could no longer walk, even standing up made me almost black out.

It would be a long drawn out way to ctb. I didn't experience pain. I want to ctb in the future and would not consider this method.

Wow If you were isolated from others do you think you would have died from this method?

 

[memataporfavor]

starving to me is like smoking... killing yourself slowly, I just use it as a way of self harming, a coping mechanism, etc... just being suicidal on a daily basis without actually doing it, you know? Yes, I can eventually die from consequences of those habits, but in a distant future and indirectly. I def think it's stupid to even consider dying directly by just starving. It's so hard... and ppl around will notice and you'll probably collapse before that and be taken to a hospital, idk...

 

[terry_a_davis]

Yes if it wasn't for my mother contacting the doctor i most probably would have died.

 

[Pengkitty'send]

I honestly wouldnt, it seems far too painful and too long a process. Especially compared to the plethora of other options

 

[Soul]

Unless you're lost in the wilderness someone will notice and intervene, at which point you'll be hospitalised and force-fed. So: No.

 

[Pengkitty'send]

I agree, that is worst case scenario but also most likely as well
