Am I doing this right? How close did I get to passing out? (partial hanging)

[SerialFailer]

First of all, hello everyone! First post here.
I looked on google on informations on better methods after a certain failed third attempt and found this website, how I wish I knew any of this a while ago, would have saved a lot of suffering...

Anyway, I tried to CTB a couple days ago with partial hanging using a bed sheet since getting a rope is difficult to me for many reasons, and I hear it leaves marks and is even more painful.
I attached it to a steel pullup bar and tested if it could handle by weight by pulling up over it and it seemed just fine for about a minute, though it stretched a little on the first couple seconds, so I think it's okay on that part since it seemed very firm.
When it came to actually doing it I couldn't handle more than 8-10 seconds leaning in; once my vision started going static and my ears buzzing, my body seemingly took control multiple times. The last "attempt" had me going really dizzy and almost falling over, my vision going black for a second. Would I have succeeded in passing out if I kept at it?

I'm not really able to practice this since I rely on my arms and letting my body relax to lean, which is not possible if I held the other end of my makeshift rope. Plus, it hurt my neck and I was for quite a lot of pain for hours later, though it has since improved.

Thanks everyone for your help.

It sounds like you are doing it right. If you were doing it wrong you'd instead feel like your head was going to explode.

This is how I felt:

Yes. It sounds correct. Everything you said sounds normal. Yes, I believe you would've passed out. You were blocking your carotid arteries, therefore blood flow to the brain. If you were to secure the rope to the pull up bar(tie it- not hold it in your hand), you really should lose consciousness.



Please be very careful if you attempt. Being found early can leave you mentally f'd up. Brain damage and being quadriplegic is a possibility. This is due to the brain being starved of oxygen, therefore killing brain cells by the millions. If you're found before brain death, you'd better pray you die or that your family puts you down. Being alone for at least 1 hr from the point of losing consciousness is best. So keep this in mind. I'd don't want you to suffer any more than you already are.



Now, are you sure that you want to die? Any doubts? Have you sought help? Please be sure before you attempt anything. You don't want to rush into this either. I don't know you, or your story, but rushing isn't a good idea. Have you talked to your family about this? You're also more than welcome to pm me if you need a friend to talk to. I'm here to listen, not to judge.



Best wishes dude.

I'm scared of attempting partial again right now, those risks are serious.
