Stopping eating and drinking

[Rsuicidal]

Is this even possible for a reasonably young and healthy person? I feel there is not a good method that wont land me somewhere with lasting damage and my perfect method is gone now.
If I tell my partner what I am doing I will be intervened on hardcore but if I dont tell Im scared to just collapse and be carted to hospital.

Research says three to four days and up to ten but Im scared they mean old weak persons in this time frame.

Also anyone else who had an ed in the past I recall days where I wouldnt eat but would come home and eat just about anything, how can I prevent this from happening?

Any information is appreciated

I think it'd probably take a few weeks, depending on your starting weight? You'd also most likely get really sick first and potentially caught. Fainting got me caught when I was deep in my ED (other than the obvious weight loss lol). I wouldn't recommend it :(

I wouldn't recommend either. I fainted after two short days of no food / water. Unless you've no other means, please don't try this method. As to your final question, the only way most people stop eating entirely is an ED or they're too depressed to consume foods, but once you collapse the rest is out of your hands.

It would take weeks,maybe even months to your organs to completely shut down,probably you will end up in the ER,i wouldn´t recommend it

I hope to starve out, but not like this.

I've undereaten for long enough that I've weakened a lot of muscles. Surely the heart is one of them. One night it may give out as I sleep. I know it's a long shot, but maybe with a few more years of this it'll happen.

It's something to gradually lose weight for years and observe the body's reaction. It fights and fights, but eventually gives up. I've seen mine give up a lot. It'll finally give up completely and I won't see that.

If your young and healthy that won't work. It's hard enough doing that when your old much less healthy.

hunger and thirst are real strong opponents even with a steel will, past a point you'll act against your own rules.

People on the internet do 50 days water fast and all it happens is they loose fat

 

[MissingCircadian]

Death by lack of water is incredibly gruesome.

I was actually wondering this. What if I just continuously popped sleeping pills every time I woke up and not eat or drink. How long would it take me to CTB that way.

 

[freetoleave]

@Alecsa the need to waking up will take over after several days sleeping because of the developped tolerance to the meds and probably the thirst too, so you'll need to take more pills each time you want to sleep again. it seems like a bad dream recipe to me.

Hurt like fuck like a hole was bored into my stomach right below my ribs Im running hot and cold mild body cramps and weakness. Got out of bed breifly but went back for now. I can see why they sedate seniors or how those at end of life choose this because they are battling a brutal illness that likely feels worse than this and can make it.
Feeling stupid and got into a big fight nearly had to go to hospital after getting caught so unless truly alone and with excellent pain medication this method is extremely difficult to do for my two days, never mind the ten plus required.

They say the tongue is better keept moistly.

I'm starving myself a lot of the days, and I can tell you it's very hard to not eat. I know it'll take a month without food roughly for death to be a possibility, and I doubt you'll make it that far - not because I think you're weak (you're not) but because not eating is simply that hard if you've never starved yourself for extended periods before.

 

[Santiago]

Terrible idea. Starving yourself isn't a good way to go at all.

 

[nopoint]

It would be extremely hard not to eat or drink. You'll die faster if you don't drink anything, but the pain of thirst will be incredibly hard to overcome.
You're literally fighting your own survival instinct with your willpower, and your instinct will always win over your brain.
