46 to 71 days of not eating before some of these guys died. That’s a really long time. I have an eating disorder, but even still the most I can go without eating is maybe 3 or 4 days max. It seems like a “bad” way to go, but of course there is no “good” way. No way I could do it.
Yeah unless you isolate yourself from any help and trap yourself will help, but you will faint a lot and people will notice that. I hit the floor once and my brother didnt help but he told my dad and my dad force fed me. Faintin happens spontaneously. It was cool how i fainted.
You know what I went for a long period of starving myself in the past and I did faint but I did it in my bed so if anyone saw me they’d probably think I was sleeping. I guess maybe if I went without eating for longer than it may have changed, like I might’ve started fainting spontaneously in public and people would notice but I don’t know.
Yeah thats exactly it. I tried it once but partly because t was a form of self harm by starving and because my stepmom makes horrible food and also to test my limits and harden myself in case of the end of the world. To try and survive
Were you low on money also? One of the reasons I want to stop eating now is because I’m very low on money and something more worthwhile than food I might have the opportunity to purchase later.
There is no “good” way, especially in the situation I’m in. All the methods which I could try right now could be very painful, and could end in failure and having to live with being more disabled and debilitated than I am right now because of it.
I KNOW you can’t do it. I’ve been severely dehydrated for years. I work, physical work, and I have three kids. I also run off little to no sleep. I barely weigh over 100 lbs for years. I have gone VERY long periods of time w/out food. I have never even passed out.. not once, although the doctors wonder how. The only thing I have is low blood pressure now b/c of the long term effects. About 83/50… which obviously only makes you feel even more depressed and more like shit. So, from experience, I don’t recommend it.

No too hard ti do, inpulses kick in too fast and you end up gorging yourself. I tried and it didn’t work, went a week becore i broke and I’m a guy
Yeah the impulse would be hard but it would depend on the person.

No pain no gain. And if you never take risks, you may end up like me. A loser -_- also I’m 17 so I’m not living in the real world just yet.

At least not for a very very very long time.
I could not unless I had no other way to die.
I have an eating disorder too. I can’t go one day without eating but I barely eat at all. I just have to have food.
Hi, determined_rebel 🙂
it’s a possibility but it’s long lasting and it isn’t quick. no, i would rather hang myself or stab myself with a knife
