Help Coach me out of this stupid method.

[EuclidianMisery]

Hello,

First post in Suicide Discussion and I would like to preface by saying its a great pleasure being here today.
With that said, I need help or more accurately I need to be told that this particular method is a horrendous idea.
You see, I like starving.
Going long periods without food and watching my body change.
Day in. Day out.
It feels like getting high sometimes, while its the closest to mortality I can get without a medical condition.
You see where I'm getting at here?
One of my stupid methods is to starve to death.
Specifically a national park or somewhere on the beach.
How without being caught? Well I've got plenty of out door experience so I competently know where to hide and such.
Still its a stupid method in that it would be very painful and in the later stages I would be immobile, therefore easier to find should anyone get suspicious.
Please, help me by telling me this is an incredibly stupid idea.

With that said, thank you for reading my post.

Have a beautiful day my fellow users!

The suffering would be very intense and the pain would put you in the hospital before you could CTB. I think you said it yourself not a great idea. Is it possible? Sure, but that possibility is near zero.

No, starving is not intensely painful. I successfully fasted for 7 days without any pain whatsoever. The issue with this as a suicide method is the sheer amount of determination and willpower it would take. It's better to die by dehydration rather than starving, as this will take significantly less time. Therefore, when you decide to fast, make sure you're also forgoing liquids.

Dying by dehydration is incredibly difficult. I've tried. I couldn't make it 72 hours before caving to thirst and drinking. It's possible to go 9 days or longer without drinking before experiencing any organ failure. The idea that you're guaranteed to die after 3 days without water is a myth. It all depends on factors like how much you sweat and whether you're sedentary or active. Some people have died of dehydration in a single day due to extended periods of intense exercise without hydrating.

You'd better have the extreme tenacity of an ascetic monk if you plan on dying this way. It's practically unheard of outside of end-of-life hospice scenarios. People with terminal conditions have reportedly had peaceful deaths by abstaining from food and water whilst denying IV and intubation, but this is done with the comfort of palliative care, a privilege you won't have.

Basically, it's not going to happen. This is just a suicidal fantasy. But if you think you can do it, try it, and report your high score before you give up and eat/drink something.

Will power can be solved by tieing yourself to a tree

Still super painful

Why not write about a writers suicide that tried to starve himself outdoors? You seem great with both

Idk what to tell you. You already know it's a stupid method, but alas, we want what we want.

I got you.

Once upon a time, there was a guy (this is a true story) who thought he had the perfect plan to do VSED deep in the forest. After so many days he began to become delirious and his body started ravenously searching for food. He eventually blacked out and found himself out of the forest. He actually found a grocery store and he looked horrendous, stinking and acting feral. He was in there looking for food and they had to call the police and I'm pretty sure he ended up in a mental hospital.

The body will eventually search for food even if your mind has every intention not to eat.

Is this how the zombie apocalypse started? Someone trying starvation suicide without the safety chain i mentioned?

Where is a writer when we need one? This material is gold!

If you're referring to the one that was posted here (last year I think), you're a little ways off on what happened.
