hunger strike

[Limlim]

Okay so, I lasted about 20 minutes and then had a poptart. What do I win?

Another poptart.

Good luck on your hunger strike. I can tell you what kind of new things might happen in your life from this point on if you continue with this. Either:

1. You will be hospitalized and put under psychiatric surveillance.
-OR-
2. You will die.

Those seem to me the only two available options the future holds for you if you continue with this stupidity.

I don't know if you've ever been in a psychiatric hospital, but it is not a fun experience, trust me!

If you are doing this to kill yourself, you are very selfish. You Mum will be torn apart and so will any one else that cares about you.

Please go eat something, and call a Professional for Psychiatric help as soon as possible. You are torturing yourself unnecessarily and will be torturing those who care about you if you do end up dying.

Also, you seem proud by saying "this will do it," as if this is a great way to commit suicide. You wouldn't be crying out to us by making this thread if you were serious. You would just do it. So stop looking for pity and seek Professional help!

You're not selfish. You want to have friends. You want to be loved. You want to be accepted! And there is nothing wrong with that at all. The problem is that even though every man deserves at least one friend in life, no man gets approbation for free. Nothing is free or easy. It is easy, however, to forget this, when we have television and warm beds and yummy pop-tarts. The truth is that a social life, like the survival of ancient people, has to be fought for. Now, I am reading your first post. I don't know if you are dead or alive, but I do know that the actions you are taking indicate that you are afraid.

And there is nothing wrong with that. It is so easy to be afraid. When you are miserable, and when you are afraid, the easy way out is oblivion.

But that is not what you want. Suicide is not the answer, simply because it is not what you want. You want to be loved and accepted. Death is none of these things. And it will be none of these things, because the constant in this equation is you. And you will remain the same, afraid, and miserable, even in death.

There is only one course of action. You must commit to getting what you want. This is not easy, but facing one's fears never is. At the moment, you need not tackle the world head on. Such a thing is impossible for the weak. So for now, just think about solving your problems. Think about getting friends. Write down your desires and admit fully that you want them. Think, imagine, dream. Then, when you feel you are ready, take the next step.

Just remember: fear does not go away. Even the President of the United States is afraid of something. So, you have only one choice. Go after what you want.

That's stupid.

Things don't just miraculously happen on their own.

GO ******* MAKE YOUR OWN CHANGE IN YOUR OWN LIFE.

...instead of starving yourself for no **** reason, why don't you go out and find a cafe, order a cup of coffee, and smile at some girls?

That'll make you feel better right quickly, I think.

That's what I was thinking... It's kind of senseless to starve yourself because you sit at home by yourself and do what? Come on now...

 

[soresoul]

I was going to do this as well. My goal was not to eat and not say fresia ever again. Then I was driving I saw an all you can eat taco buffet for 3.99. I said fresia...and ate myself 20 extra pounds. Yes fail!

The universe doesn't give a honeysuckle. It will not be bargained with, intimidated, coerced, sweet-talked, guilted, or pressured. It's all you.

 

[SophiaGrace]

I just want to say that sometimes I don't eat meals just to punish myself. I understand where you are coming from. I think it comes from a place of self hatred inside of me.

So I go hungry for a while, out of self-loathing.

I also deprive myself of sleep intentionally for the same reason.

 

[Wessik]

Oh Sophia...please think better of yourself. Please?

 

[ladyforsaken]

The Buddah found illumination after having fasted 49 days. Maybe that's where I'll get with that hunger strike. Or I'll be dead.

Oh, quit being dramatic. Jesus rose from the dead after 3 days in a tomb, and Muhammed rode an ostrich-goat deity up to the stars, blah blah blah.

I think it's time for you to take ownership in your own life and quit whining about your situation.

Try focusing on things OTHER than your own misery -- GO OUT AND FIND A REASON TO ENJOY LIFE.

Life isn't going to give you honeysuckle.

You have to manufacture your OWN honeysuckle.

...and by that, I mean start eating.

Why do you have to be so negative ? I have tried to enjoy life as much as I could but no matter what I did I was never happy. I don't think anything can bring any joy to my life any more.

Dying right now or being held in a mental institution wouldn't be so dramatic after all I've gone through. I know what pain means. I've had a lot of it.

Firstly, I'm very sorry for what you're going through and I'm sure it must be so frustrating to the point where this is the only solution best that you see. But I can't help but say something here.

And Badjedidude's being negative because he cares and bothers to reply to your thread of suicide here. I read your original post and it stirred so many different emotions within myself that if I was right there with you, I'd shake you.

Wake up. Have you seen everything and everyone in this world yet? I bet not, then why are you complaining and saying that nothing can bring joy to your life anymore? I'm sorry I didn't see any previous posts of yours before this so I'm not sure what story I've missed about your life - but what have you done so much that can justify you saying that's enough?

Do you honestly think dying is the better option here? You complain about it but yet you're limiting opportunities to be happy in your life cos once you're dead, you have your own ******* self to blame for not being happy - not life, not anyone else. But if you fight it with all of us here who's facing similar issues, if you make a friend out of just one person on this site who can understand you, you ARE doing something to make your life better.

Yes, it's not easy and yes, easier for me to say all this than for you to actually get it. But seriously, come on. It starts somewhere. Talk to us. Make a friend. Make many friends. So many of us here who are willing to help you out.

Stop hurting yourself please. You know you deserve better than this and the only person who can start making changes is your self. Who else? Go eat. Seriously. Come on, OGIL. You can pull through this.

I just want to say that sometimes I don't eat meals just to punish myself. I understand where you are coming from. I think it comes from a place of self hatred inside of me.

So I go hungry for a while, out of self-loathing.

Oh SophiaGrace.

Please don't hurt yourself anymore. I may not know what you go through, but I know that no one good person deserves to be hurt if they can help it. Please help it and don't hurt yourself like that. *hugs*

 

[OhGodImLonely]

Hey guys don't overdo it please. It's not as if I hadn't eaten for a month. It's been only 21h so calm down you people.

I feel a bit tired and hungry but much less nervous than yesterday. I slept quite nicely so that might be the reason. I'm gonna stay in bed a little more and then drink a glass of water maybe.

 

[perfanoff]

LOL!

 

[OhGodImLonely]

24h haven't been eating anything. my breath stinks. I've spent more than 10h in bed. feel a bit down. That's it for now.

 

[theraab]

Oh man, I had the most delicious breakfast this morning - a nice stack of pancakes that were the perfect golden-brown, with just enough syrup to sweeten them, but not too much, with strawberries and whipped cream; and a couple strips of bacon and a small glass of OJ. It's those kind of breakfasts that really make you want to get out of bed in the morning.

Whoops! I meant to post this in the food porn thread. My bad.

Thanks for supporting my cause man. Your pancakes are making me wanna vomit anyway.

 

[Doubt The Rabbit]

Oh? Maybe you're a Crepe kind of guy?

By the way, it isn't a "cause". Toys for Tots is a cause. You're just disgruntled and taking it out by not eating and thinking that it'll change your life. Yeah, because updating us on your uninterestingly empty stomach is going to increase your chances of something "new" happening to you.

 

[SophiaGrace]

Well, you don't have to eat to brush your teeth. No need for bad breath yeah?

Please don't hurt yourself anymore. I may not know what you go through, but I know that no one good person deserves to be hurt if they can help it. Please help it and don't hurt yourself like that. *hugs*

I just want to say it's not excessive, like maybe a meal or two or a few hours of sleep deprivation.

It's not EXTREME, but I do notice i do it.

The difference here is that OP refuses to admit he's just self-loathing.

That is something that can be addressed and adjusted.
If he thinks what he's doing is actually a solution then there is nothing to be done (except maybe troll with food porn pics).

 

[SophiaGrace]

At least he is drinking water. You die much sooner without water than without food.

Also he said he threw out all his food? He will be too weak to obtain more if he does find a solution to his problems.

 

[soresoul]

Hey guys,
what is wrong with the ole saying if you can't say nothing nice or support, then don't say anything at all? Yeah we may not agree on this person choice he's making but cmon making endless negative remarks going to change this person mind?

And at the risk of losing more cool points, is it possible that this person is just ******* with us?
