If something makes you happy then it's not money wasted.

A friend of mine almost committed suicide because of fasting.

He got sick with heavy flu, I can't translate the name in English, but basically was bedridden and had no appetite + diarrhea.

After a few days of eating very little, he lost all appetite and suddenly felt "liberated" from his need to eat. He described it as Ataraxia: the lack of problems, the inner peace.

After about a week and a half of eating pretty much nothing, he started to feel a tinge of hunger, and decided that he'd prefer dying over having to be stuck eating again, like a prisoner of his own needs.

He had to be physically prevented from jumping off the window. Thankfully, most of his muscle mass had been reduced to nothing already. He ended up eating again after the incident.

I was very surprised to hear that story, because the guy is anything but depressed. Does fasting really bring you such big peace of mind that you'd kill yourself rather than lose it, or was he delirious?
