Anyone starving or considering to starve themselves as a coping mechanism until their suicide date?

Fasting? Actual starvation is hard. You have to go a long time without food and water

I used to last year for a while but then I started eating a lot more and gained a bunch of weight when it started destroying my health and I was blacking out all the time.

Really regret that now and considering doing it again until I ctb eating as little as I can get away with and gettiing back down to having no fat (or muscle.)

Aesthetically I think being really thin looks nice.

What does drinking water have to do with starving oneself?

Yes, fasting. Actually makes me feel better for a little bit…

I'd starve myself during the high point of my drug use. I hate eating food. I loved the way I looked. Other people probably that I was dying. My gf at the time I did. She'd basically make me eat. I loved just being gone on different drugs and not even think about hunger and food. I think it really fucked up my body tho. My body feels a lot older than my age.

I agree it's hard but you can starve while drinking water. It's during dehydration that you stop having both food and drink.

I did both water and dry fasting. I prefer dry fasting.

it's not necessarily until my suicide date, but it's always been a good coping mechanism for me, the feeling of control and emptiness (aside from water..!) is almost euphoric. i hardly have the discipline to do it now though, which is sort of unfortunate

I've gone 23 days just drinking water. It's hard to just "starve" yourself.

I eat whatever's around the house which is basically nothing. Too lazy to go out.

I wish I could, but eating is way too good.

Used to be a passion. Cooking, eating. I was a "foodie."

Of course it's hard. That's probably why starvation isn't OP's method.

I undereat due to stress and depression, but it's not really a conscious decision. As long as I am alive I still want to be comfortable, so when I am able, I try to give my body enough nutrients.

(Have been losing weight unintentionally for the past year or so)

Dry fasting can be dangerous, though some people do prefer it to water fasting. Some people say you can die in as little as three days without water, but then people try it and find this usually doesn't work. One person is documented to have lived eighteen days without water and ended up having no lasting damage. Just fyi, going without water is generally not a feasible ctb method because people become extremely miserable long before they ctb- most people don't want to sit there for several days to a week or more of complete torture in order to ctb, so this is a method that is not generally used.
