Can I starve myself to death in just 20-30 days? I’m 15 years so I do think I’ll need a short period for dying I want to feel that sensation of my body eating internal organs and yes I’m very stubborn and I have a free will to starve myself even all those stomach cramps and slowly after third day it won’t be as hard as it would be. Currently I’m at second day my stomach hurts and everytime I smell food I feel the hunger but my desire for death is bigger than just a one hunger strike. Also at the end my stomach would hurt even more but believe or not my heart hurts more than my stomach will. Is it possible for me to die from starvation and also I’m not overweight so I hope my body is going to pass out. Â I’m sure about me wanting to die no matter what my family is going to say, they’ll be better without me because my mum will be happy ( probably after two years ) I hope she’ll have another baby, also she already have a daughter and one day she to rejoice about her grandchildren also I’m just waste of sperm and why I have to stay in this world when my mum can give a birth to another children? She’ll probably won’t do it when I’ll be 18 cuz she’ll get old and her daughter is going to be 14. Â So there isn’t reason to stay and live fulfilling life cause in my country people with mental disorders can’t get help believe or not also it’s a shame to have mental disorder and people react harsh when they hear that someone have mental disorder.

Sooner or later, you will give in. You will not last the 20-30 days
I’m sorry about the stigma surrounding mental disorders in your country. Many people with mental illness face discrimination and it’s unfortunate how unsympathetic people are to the pain of others.
We’re not really allowed to discuss methods here but I would advise against you continuing your starvation plan. Starvation is painful and how long it will take you to die is unpredictable. I believe you’ll most likely faint from the lack of food and you’ll end up in the hospital where they’ll force feed you even if you refuse to eat. Whatever happens, starving yourself is not as simple as it may seem.
I understand that I may not be able to change your mind but please eat something and don’t continue with this plan. Stay safe.
Is there anything we can do so that, just maybe, the world isn’t such a bad place and you may actually want to eat? 🙂
No, nobody can do something for me hope I’ll die from starvation. That’s my dream. If I faint one day I’ll hope I won’t revive and come back in life anymore. Also I struggle with BDD and gender dysphoria so there isn’t hope for me that’s why we transgender people usually kill ourselves and have high rate of suicide. But If I give up at starvation my life will get even more worse with gender dysphoria and BDD. First three days are bad, and the last days suddenly are the worst ( because organs are shutting I think )
Just because transgender people have a high rate of suicide it does not mean you have to be part of that statistic. You can fight whatever depression, anxiety you have 🙂
No. you will just be in ketosis like you are fasting. If you don’t drink water than yes you can die. I also when I was 15 and didn’t have another way wanted to starve to death. Thought about that almost weekly. Now I have bigger and better methods because I am 18 (only thing 18 means different is you can buy guns) and I have a way to get around – car – (can drive to bridges/cliffs)… sadly I can’t afford gun (lmao that is the only reason I would ever want a job) (if only I could save my weekly 10$ for 50 weeks.. SHIT) and have DUI (I got my DUI, October 15, I was actually about to drive like 3 hours away to jump off giant bridge, the very next day – was having a last hoorah.) so… I’m alive still sadly. I am waiting to get my license back. I’m happy I realized I can cliff jump though because I was so stressed out realizing no jobs hiring me = no gun to end my life. Ever…. although gun is my ideal method I would do anything to end my life. But it has to be far from the place I am homed. I would advise that for everyone. It is your choice I guess if you want the body to be found or not. But a not found body is better for both parties I would say. So… the place I’m planning to jump from now is a pretty wide cliff. I can jump from an edge near traffic or away from. If I jump a rather large mile away from traffic I would probably not be found until I have decayed. I used to come home from school and put a bag over my head and hope that I would die. Didn’t work :—-( I would read Ellen Hopkins books she has one about suicide and has plenty with suicide themes for the long while you may be trapped here in your body on this land in the world.
But you’re a man and you can afford that I’m male too but I have feminine mentality so I can’t do that. Also even tho I have BDD and gender dysphoria as a mental illnesses. Those mental ilnesses don’t allow me to jump from something high even tho there are plenty of high places at my city where I can jump and end my life there isn’t cure for those two mental illness and you’ll never understand if you haven’t experienced both BDD and Gender dysphoria. I want to leave ASAP.
This strikes a sad chord with me because as an older gay man who experienced intense gender dysphoria in my youth I can feel this. My heart goes out to you. I don’t mean to insult the “straights” but this is something that is very difficult for them to grasp. Even many gay men don’t react well to this, hence we have those shame-filled gay men stating “prefer straight acting” as their preference on dating sites. I understand they are attracted to what they are attracted to but they miss out on a lot of nice men who may have a few feminine attributes. Sometimes I’m ashamed of my gay brothers for reasons the hetero community would never expect.
In my case it was not full dysphoria as I just lived in a time/place where most were naive to the many variances of gender(as it still is in many places today). And the men surrounding me were so boring/insecure/bullies that I gravitated to the feminine as I didn’t want to be anything like those men. I eventually I realized (after a long time) I was a composite of both. Yet I’m well aware that there are those who for whatever the reason were born in the wrong body through no fault of their own. I wish I had more support to offer. If you’d like someone to talk to that understands I’m here.
No I am actually a lesbian female. I get called a man all the time. I wouldn’t want to be a man or boy, so it bugs me when I get called a man. I simply wear men’s clothing (though I wouldn’t want to be one, I just like the clothes) have short hair and don’t wear eye shadow or lipstick. ANYWAY, WHAT COUNTRY ARE YOU FROM? But really, research fasting. I read of a guy a few weeks ago on facebook in a group for fasting that he had fasted for 42 days. He went from 250 pounds to 205, but he did not die. You have fat cells that store glucose for you to use. If you don’t eat, on the third day your body starts taking glucose from your fat cells. Most people have enough glucose to last them about 30 days without eating. Bigger people, can go without eating longer. I am actually trying to go 14 days without eating for a fast right now as I have binge ate this week after watching my eating the last 9 months and gained 5 pounds. Shiiiiiiiit
Excuse me, my mistake. I was responding to lusi876. But as I said many gender variances that science has come nowhere near to discovering.
I’m in the US. They’re all freaked out about who’s using what bathroom here.
I worked many years in healthcare. The progression of death by starvation is different for many. Factors such as underlying health conditions like diabetes, weight and their specific metabolism effect the situation. For some the brain burns up so much glucose it actually hastens it. I think that over-thinkers like me do this. The stress at work caused my glucose to drop into the 30’s and I’m not diabetic.
Unfortunately in most countries it’s as hiohneh stated above. You will either lose consciousness or become disoriented and end up in the hospital tied down with a tube going through your nose to stomach and force fed through it. VRFF (voluntary refusal of food) is something that the terminally ill do to hasten the end but it is considered understandable in their situation as opposed to the lack of understanding in regards to the mentally ill/severely depressed. Here there are many disillusioned pro-lifers and those in healthcare who fear legal ramifications against them if they stand by and do nothing as you kill yourself. So it’s created a very inhumane environment. VRFF is too long and torturous a process and I can’t risk someone intervening even if I isolate myself somewhere for 1-2 months so I’m going for the quick method.
Same here – I thought about starvation/dehydration but after research, decided against that option. I don’t want to eat much at the moment anyway so my calorie intake is low but enough to keep me going it seems.
I was planning on this form of suicide. I did some research it could take 10 to 15 days for all vital organs to shut down if starvation/dehydration is the way. I also heard that after about the 5th day once your body goes into hibernation mode for food and water the cravings subside and it gets more peaceful. Life threw a curve ball at me and well I am not going that route now.
