Accessing ways to CTB in an apartment

[ButterflyDream]

I'm unable to access N, SN etc because it's expensive and difficult to find. I can't get a gun because I'd never pass a psychiatric background check. I'm considering using a rope, but I'm not really sure how it would work in such a tiny apartment. Like, maybe the doorknobs? But I doubt they can support my body weight.

Any advice would be appreciated! Hanging is the best option I can think of as an accessible method that won't traumatize too many people like jumping or getting hit by a train would. It's also less violent which is nice.

Hanging is a very reliable method if you adhere to five basic principles. 1. You attempt complete hanging, as opposed to incomplete. 2. You use a strong ligature. 3. You know how to tie a slipknot (head) and a double constrictor (Anchor). 4. The anchor point is strong. 5. You make sure no one will disturb you for say an hour on the safe side (30 mins is enough though).

Incomplete hanging is risky and most fail because of SI and a lack of luck and precision.

Very helpful! I can learn how to tie knots, but I'm struggling to think of a good anchor point in a cramped apartment. Assuming they hold up, do you think a doorknob would be enough. I don't think that would count as complete hanging though...

No worries. Hooks, beams, wardrobe rails? It's only classed as complete if your whole body is off the ground. That's the only way to guarantee death. Partial can lead to survival instinct stopping you, both consciously and unconsciously. If not, trees are always available, but then it runs the risk of not knowing who's around.

Doorknobs can be enough, but depends on the knobs strength and your setup. If you post like another ten messages you can use the search bar to look at what others have said regarding it.
