I'm trying VSED (voluntary stopping eating and drinking) to ctb.

I don't really know if this will work lol. I haven't eaten in two days and haven't drank anything in 24 hours now. I don't have much hunger but a little thirst that can sometimes stop if I use the "tricks" of massaging my gums with a brush or sponge.

Do you think this will work?

I think this one is one of the more painful and difficult ones. I know someone whose uncle tried to go this way but couldn't and needed to go via assisted suicide. ( Extreme mental problems) I think it's one of those things that in general is just harder to die by. Also, access to water means you will have difficulty resisting. However! That doesn't mean it's not possible.

It's funny that my salty tears were my last bit of sustinance.

Hope I can make this work. 😊

Apparently, not eating but still drinking water is less painful, but it will take a long ass time. You can survive even months without eating anything.

I think this is an extremely difficult goal to achieve. Unless it is summer and hot, a week could pass without anything happening, even with you not drinking anything. I think you would need to be unbelievably patient, be able to be alone for many days, and count with the possibility of becoming weak, fainting, and being eventually found after a very long time passes, anyway. Besides, you will feel very thirsty during the entire process.

If you are young and relatively healthy, I might find this next to impossible. But only you know yourself.

I think right now I feel I have enough determination to keep it going. But I have only been without water for 28 hours now, not feeling that thirsty and without food for more than 2 days but hunger has mostly dissapeared.

I have starved myself before but not to this end and not without water. Seeing how I become skinnier, how the number on the scale goes down, how I feel very light, how I feel less guilty because I'm not taking from my family's resources, feeling how I am dissapearing and becoming less and less until I finally become nothing is very addicting. But I don't know if I'll succed.

I'll see how it goes since starving with water seems like too long a process, though it is an enticing idea since that way I will finally get to see how I am when actually skinny.

Since you mentioned family I'm assuming you live with them. It is risky to try this method if you live with someone because you will eventually pass out and somebody will rescue you. You might end up with some damage to your body. If I lived alone I would definitely try this method tho.

Thanks this is actually my second option if this thing becomes too painful. Tho depending on the type of pain I may actually enjoy it and fade away. I like the pain that comes from self harming but there are pains I can't tolerate even if milder.

What's most enticing about this other option is actually losing all weight. Since normal VSED would kill me before I lose my extra weight if I understand correctly.

Yes you're right. Close to where I live there are caves though. I could try getting into one and dissapearing. There are no cameras here so the likelihood of them tracking me is low but not zero.

It would be nice if I'm never found and die meditating like a monk or something like that haha.

VSED is imho one of the most painful ways to CTB.

No, it won't work. The only people I know that managed it we're extremely committed and suffering incredibly. They both died. Neither one was ever on this forum.

Without food for up to 45 days is even as good as cleansing the body of toxins. Only from the 60th day you can expect some results in this sense. Too long and quite difficult. Without water already after 3 days it becomes "interesting" and the results can come from On the 5th day onwards, this method is even more difficult to endure.

Good luck! I don't know if you are still attempting this, but I am as well.

Do you mean their uncle went to Switzerland or somehow was assisted here. Do you know how he was able to qualify for assistance and why he tried VSED first if he qualified? Also do you know his age?

The accounts of what sounds like legal VSED failures with all precautions in place scares me 😭

Do you think this is why Christina Symanski still drank (some) liquid and succeeded even though it took two months? (Unknown if she just drank sparingly or opted for starvation and drank as much as she needed). I've heard of a couple cases including her who just drank water anyway and I always thought there must have been a reason and it must have felt somehow more doable even though drawn out. Do you know if there's still hallucinations and agitation even with water or if that's mainly due to dehydration? 🙏🏼

I think VSED is prone to failure, takes a long long time to succeed & will amount to slow torture.
I do hope you find peace in whatever way you decide upon🌹💔

I actually don't know many of the details other than that unfortunately! I didn't ask too many questions about it but I assume VSED first because less hoops to jump thru.

It is doubtful that you'll be able to pull this off while living with other's that aren't aware of or not supportive of your decision. In the final days you will be sleeping prolonged amounts of time, talking incoherently and possibly hallucinating all of which will draw suspicion. Any adult you are dependent on in your situation is obligated by law to intervene.
