How long have you gone without eating?

Currently on my 30th hour on my water fast and I feel incredible and not hungry at all. My longest was 7 days/168 hours.

@RebornPhoenix Depression hurts:(
Oh yeah for sure. Did you lose a lot of weight during those two weeks?
@RebornPhoenix Oh yeah. Like 40 pounds.
@canusernamebemyusername Wow. Wee you a normal weight to begin with?
@RebornPhoenix No. I needed to lose weight anyway. But I felt better after. Well physically at least. I've also been underweight in life as well from having anxiety. So I've been all over during life. lol But fasting is a good way to help with weight and has other health benefits.
@canusernamebemyusername sorry to hear that it didn't do anything to help your depression. Fasting has always helped me feel at least a little bit better.
@RebornPhoenix I got on some meds and it helped pull me out. It has been years and a couple of years ago I ran out for a couple of weeks and yeah the depression is still under there. But as long as I'm on them it stays in remission. I'm glad you have a way that helps without meds. Even a little.
@canusernamebemyusername That's good. I am [b]extremely[/b] against psychiatry and medication (for myself at least) I can understand if others need them to function tho. But those meds gave me more problems than I had to begin with. I traded one problem (depression) for a whole other [b]set[/b] of problems. It just isn't worth it to me to gain weight, have ticks, ammenorrhea, etc. Not to mention they didn't help at all
@RebornPhoenix I have had those at various times. Well not the last one. But I just tried different ones until I found the best balance and little to no side effects.
Can I message you about your experience with meds?
