Went in a coma and couldnt eat for a few months. I had a stomach tube feed so i didnt starve to death.

Without food, ~2 days, give or take.

36 hours, and I wanted to die

I cant beat any of these scores. I went a few months on a super poverty starvation diet, but never more than 30some hours with nothing.

I did once develop diarrhea while being drunk, and being the pseudo-alcoholic I was I just moved all my drink and music to the toilet. After about an hour of constant toilet time and boozing, I was basically pissing toothpaste. I didnt think that was really a thing but it is.

I think, 16 hours.

College in the USA. I've gone several days without food, simply because I could not afford to buy anything to eat nor did I have transport (or money for transport) to buy/procure any.

I've also gone several days without food while sick. For me, these two things were QUITE different. Being too sick to eat sucks because I was sick and feeling so bad that hunger didn't register. But being otherwise healthy, but having no access to food is something else entirely.

It was like a day before my every waking thought somehow revolved around eating and food, almost feels like being mentally ill. Every thing you think about turns into a tangent, memory, feeling about food. Hard to describe and it's been so long, that fortunately it's a foggy, distant trace of a memory. Just still remember that I couldn't focus on anything worth a shit because any semblance of a thought process would devolve into food and eating.

without water. no idea. I was fasting tuesdays and thursdays at one point so like figure I ate last 8pm one night and started eating 8am the day after so something like 36 hours. I was drinking unsweetened tea, diet soda, water, and maybe other no calorie liquids, but no solids.
