My experience is that detox passes after deep breathing, bathroom visit (BM,urine) or throwing up. My signal to break fast kept getting worse and worse instead of better and then I would hit a clarity with burning hunger.

I get very chilly when I fast. It's kinda fun b/c there's no winter where I live so I get to put on cute fuzzy socks and huddle up under a warm blankey. :)

Just wanted to say that I'm in it with you. Currently four days into my fast, I've done two, three day fasts previously, and I'm in a country where no one understands what I'm doing. I'm also worried about recognizing healthy detox from something that indicates I should break the fast. Good luck to you!

Hi Roxy,

Just curious?? Was this your first 3 day fast when your anxiety attack hit you? On my first fast a long time ago...I clearly remember a time...I was like 3 or 4 days into my 10 day fast...and I just had this overwhelming sense of anxiety sweep over me like I wasn't sure this was safe and "I don't know if I can live" or "if I can do this". I talked to my grandma, and she suggested it was because I hadn't researched it alot or had the knowledge to create the confidence in fasting.

If you're anything like me you aren't just satisfied with knowing a minimal amount about a topic so since you have probably done alot of research...am I right?? I am just guessing, because of my experience.

It was maybe just a panic attack so to say that you weren't really sure of yourself or fasting for that matter...and I would venture to say that you probably won't have that this time, because you are more knowledgeable and you now have the confidence you once lacked.

And I always am cold anyways, but fasting just triples how cold I get.

So just a thought!! Good luck to you!
