Thank you for reading it! 
I can recognise myself a bit in the sensitivities to different stimulus! For me it was mainly different smells and the taste of salt I added to my water that I got very sensitive to!
14 Day Fasting Journal
@Sbrannan My auditory got really sharp on Day 33 and lasted into Day 35 and then went back to normal. It freaked me out a bit though because during my early morning daily walk I would think someone is coming up behind me and Iād look back and theyād be at least 1/2 a residential block away.
Hey there it sounds like we have had similar day Iām at 3 days 22 hours ATM so abit behind you but I have had hieghtened senses and this rough feeling you have just discribed since I started.
Ergh
Rest
Drink
Donāt move too fast
Bury your head under the pillows
Sit with your eyes closed cause itās too bright.
Just thought Iād let you know Iām here too and Iāll check in with your journal tomorrow.
Rest up I hope you get some rest this evening
Day 10 - I went to bed later last night and ended up sleeping for 8 hours. I had bursts of productivity in the morning, however, by midday I was tired, weak and struggling with light and sudden/loud sounds again. I have client meetings from 10 -2 tomorrow before another two days off followed by return to work on Thursday. Fortunately have enlisted my husband as chauffeur for tomorrow. Particularly worried about bright headlights driving around.
Hopeful another good nightās sleep will help alleviate the symptoms. Living the existence of a bat the entire week is not an option, alas.

Are you aiming for your original goal of 14 days or are you taking it day by day?
Still aiming for 14 days minimum, it would seem a pity to break earlier with only 4 days to go.

Day 11 - woke up at 4am and unable to sleep again until 6. I had work today and so had to mobilise regardless of lack of sleep. Auditory and light sensitivity much better, although had to conduct one meeting with the light turned out since the client had fluorescent tube lights (a couple of other attendees also found it offensive). Felt chilled to the bone all day but otherwise an OK day.

One step closer. Hang in there!
Day 12 - after only 3.5 hours sleep, another brutal day. Saw the children off to school and was able to nap for 40 minutes. Spent the day resting as much as possible. This fast is nothing like my last extended fast which was pretty easy in comparison.

Yaseminās been talking about that during her last few āliveā YouTube sessions. Every fast is a unique experience. I start my 21-day on the 21st after I finish my Flexibility and Endurance phase.
Hang in there. Thereās definitely phases so just keep going through this one. Remember that clarity and euphoria are somewhere ahead. 
Just catching up to your old posts. Really encouraging to read from someone who I can fully relate toā¦ feast/ famine, depression etc.
Just started. Iām in day 2 of a 10 day fast.
Day 13 - finally a return of energy (slept 8 hours hours). Tomorrow, I will break the fast - so looking forward to fuel to resume my daily run. I have a business trip next week and my weight is right around where i expected it coming out of this fast. Once back from my trip, I plan to do another 7 day fast to get to my goal weight (which is pretty tiny but was my typical summer weight in my teens and twenties).
The ongoing goal this year is to reach a set point weight I am comfortable.
Tough as this fast has been, I enjoy fasting so much, and like last year, I anticipate doing many 3,4,7 day fasts this year.

I hope day 2 went well? Nothing wrong with feast/famine - itās how we were designed to live, and it suits many of us to not have to restrict calories day in day out, rather enjoy food but balance it with fasting.
I tend to struggle more with low moods between September - January. I find the new year brings hope and a countdown to spring. But typically there are good days and bad any time of year.

Iām on day 3 and I canāt lieā¦I am starving! But there is something about fasting that gives me so much fulfillment. I think itās being able to accomplish going days without eating. I may have misunderstood what you meant by feast/ famine. For me itās an unhealthy way for me to live because there is no balance. Iām either gorging or fasting. I canāt fond a happy medium. I hate myself when Iām gorging. I love the way I feel when Iām fasting though. I want to loose weight and find balance.

Day 14 - (yesterday) late posting this. Back to work yesterday, started the day sipping bone broth which I took to work with me. I tolerated it really well. Once home, had a green veg smoothie to which I added more bone broth, turmeric, ginger, black pepper and later some nuts. I feel great today.

Ahā¦bingeing, yes I think thatās a risk with any diet, fasting included. Itās so common, I think itās do with skewed reward centres. I find it helpful recognising when and why (stress, hormone fluctuations etc) it happens and trying to reduce frequency. A 1 day binge does not need to become 2 or 3. I can come back from 1 day but more than that becomes harder.
Days 1 and 3 of the fast are the worst for me too, does get easier mentally by day 5. Itās the mental bargaining that I struggle with most in those early days.
I hope the refeed will continue just as good for you! Great job at finishing the fast!
