Support friend/mentor for my dryfasting next week?

Hello lovely people!

This spring, fasting changed my life. Now, I am planning on doing a 3-day dry fast followed by at least 2 days of water fast.

Previously, my longest fast ever was a 24h dry fast followed by a 3.5 day water fast.

My longest dry fast was 36 hours followed by a 18-hour water fast.

My longest and my second longest (3.5 days water fast) both ended due to nausea. It felt as if something was piling up in my stomach. I became unable to function. I am not sure if this was the acidotic crisis or lack of electrolytes...

Anyway. I am nervous, especially about the 3 days of dry fast.

Would anyone experienced be up for being my friend for the duration of the fast? I was gonna start on Tuesday evening.

Obviously all responsibility over my fast and health remains with me. But I would really like to be able to chat with someone as I go along... it's uncharted terrain for me and although I am looking forward to it, I am also quite nervous. I would feel less alone if I was able to discuss the experience and symptoms with someone as I go along.

I am 43F, European, spiritual, if that matters.

Thank you.
