Venting Starving myself to death

[jayceyyqo]

Honestly I first wanted to wait and save up for helium so I could suffocate myself with it, but I am so tired of waiting that I'm going to try to starve myself to death starting tomorrow. I have an eating disorder so this will make me lose weight so even if I suddenly decide to stop this suicide attempt it will only benefit me. I may or may not will update everyday just to write down my feelings.

This called VSED and is supposed to be extremely difficult and painful...takes a while. There are better methods, maybe CO or SN. Best wishes whatever you decide to do.

I don't think starving yourself to death is a peaceful way to go. It takes around 30~40 days to die and the process is very painful.

I read about that method online, there is a lot of conflicting information on this. Some say it's peaceful and natural, but when you read further they tell you it should be in a hospice, or at home but with a caregiver and meds for pain relief and discomfort, especially from dehydration. Works good for people suffering at end-of-life with support but really tough to do on your own.

I wish you the best, I hope that you find peace from the suffering.

If you're starving yourself to death it'll hurt. I've tried it before without eating or drinking up to day five, eventually I gave in and drank some water which made me eat something.

From what I've experienced, you'll experience pain and it'll be a while.

Your mouth being dry and lips being chapped - You want chapstick and a small spray bottle with just enough water to moisten your mouth along with mouthwash.
Then you'll slowly get into a delirious state from dehydration, you'll seek out food and water subconsciously due to the survival instinct.
You'll also suffer from the many symptoms of dehydration which will affect all your organs and your brain, it hurts.

I believe a lot of people who seek this out are elderly/people in hospice where they can have proper medical care and medical-grade pain killers to alleviate the pain.
I personally don't recommend it, but if you're CTB anyway fasting does no harm and actually helps with mental acuity as long as you continue to drink water. If you don't drink water, fasting can take more than a week even without water depending on how healthy you are.

Personally I am going to refuse food but not water. I will continue to drink water just in case I change my mind after a week or two. It is primarily also a way to lose weight for me, though my priority with this is to try and die.

Painful way to go and extremely hard to pull off mentally. Not to mention, our bodies are meant to keep going for a long time before they shut down from starvation.
