Re: Emotional freedom

You do become vulnerable on a fast. I know when I did mine I had to deal with some earlier emotional baggage I had and that was not comfortable, there were many things about myself from the past that I did not like. My view is that the suicide wish may have came from the emotional baggage that you are carrying, and that the fast may have opened this up a little.

If that is so I think the solution is to deal with the emotional issues separately, and to do that it would be best to engineer your surroundings so that they are not threatening to you, eg distance yourself from toxic people and relationships, aim to be with people who you love and trust, and who care for you.

I am not sure if this applies to you and your circumstances as I have not read all your posts and I am sure there are many things about you that I don't know, so apologies if it is off the mark. But in general, I think fasting should be conducted with complete freedom. Next time for me, I may even take a tent and go camping somewhere remote, away from everyone. Tweet
