I tried to cut out all food and drink, in hopes of dehydrating to the point of death but within the first 24 hours I had fainted 4 times and already lost 4kg. The first fainting, I got hurt and also broke an indoor pot plant. This ultimately meant that the people I live with found out and made it impossible to avoid food and water. I'm a little shocked because I have had similar patches in the past where I didn't eat or drink for much longer periods of time and never fainted. The people I live with think it's because I also asphyxiated myself until I blacked out less than a week ago. Don't know if I should start the process again.

I'm sorry you're feeling this way.

I don't believe that dehydration is an option for you, at least in your current home.

It might work if you lived alone, had no visitors and could manage to not be tempted by the sink or faucet but....with roommates?

If you could even get through a week, they'd certainly notice your state and call an ambulance.

Dehydrating isn't as easy or practical as it sounds and in theory. I have tried it a few times and really not nice. Please be careful, dont go making anything worse for yourself than it already is. Blacking out when you attempted asphyixiation could lead to all sorts of brain problems and neurological damage.

Dehydration would be quite hard to do outside of something like the wilderness or a desert since survival instincts take over. This would also be a very unpleasant way to go.

I don't think this is a pleasant way to go, especially being deprived of water. As far as food, I think it is more likely, but it would take significantly longer to CTB if only avoiding food. Like others said, it may not be suitable for your current living environment as there are people around and would intervene if they see you dying.

I hoped, since I live in the sleep out by myself they wouldn't notice for a while

I was recently like last week sent to the Er with severe dehydration and that was from lack of food and taking in little fluids for 6 days. Only reason I went was my doctor suggested to my wife and I had no choice that that point. I still am in bad shape from that. I can go days without eating without issue but right now I'm being watched so I gotta try to eat.
