Any members choosing hanging?

[Onw9]

This seems to be the question that is up for debate. Some say above and some say below. I wish I knew

Yeah.I think ill try below first

You don´t need much equipment nor special skills to hang yourself and, done right, it is 100% lethal. In addition to these benefits you have the chance to slowly approach. You can hang yourself non lethal in order to get used to the feeling and to be sure that you will pass out within a few seconds. I know no other method that allows you to test everything before you are doing it for real. In my opinion this helps a lot to overcome the fear of the process of dying.

I'm going to ctb with full suspension, I failed before and it terrifies me, but hopefully it will go right this time.
I choose cause I have no access to other methods and hanging is the most popular way to ctb in the world, this makes me feel better.
I saw some videos of people hanging themselves and they pass out in seconds, their body keep moving like in small convulsions but they doesn't seem to be awake.

I will most probably go by hanging...full...bcs i am disabled i cant so partial bcs i cant sit...with full i know i will pass out within seconds and it wont be that much painful...i also can go with sn... but i will probably vomit so hanging is preferable for me...maybe after a year or two

Where did you read that, every guide in here says to put it below the adams apple in partial

I read it all over the place, but to be fair, I was reffering to full, not partial. I keep seeing the below the adams apple is much more painful, will crush the windpipe and not compress the arteries properly so you wind up suffocating rather than passing out from no blood flow. I'm no expert and this could well be wrong, I'm just going with all the research I've done recently which has been quite a lot

When I was younger, we were stupid enough to play the "choking game" which would consist of standing against a wall, Bend over, take a few deep breaths and then stand up. Some people have someone push against their neck once they stand up, I personally went the holding a towel around my neck method. The feelings you'd get from just being out for a few seconds felt really cool. I'm hoping partial hanging will be something similar????

So you agree that above the Adam's apple is better?

I can't be sure, but that's what I've read in my research.

It bothers me a lot that there's not even one single link to a source in this topic. This isn't a scientific discussion and you definitely want a scientific discussion with facts and sources when consequences are so great.

I haven't done so much research on partial hanging but the bit I have looked into it describe it as an extremely painful way to die. Seems like even drowning is a better way to die.

"Strangulation can take several minutes and is a far more excruciating experience. The carotid arteries in the neck, which supply blood to the brain, are compressed, and the brain swells so much it ends up plugging the top of the spinal column; the Vagal nerve is pinched, leading to something called the Vagal reflex, which stops the heart; and the lack of oxygen getting to the lungs due to compression of the trachea eventually causes loss of consciousness due to suffocation. Death then follows the same pattern as it does when the neck breaks, with the entire process ending in anywhere from five to 20 minutes."

How Does Death by Hanging Work?

Hanging, when carried out with modern techniques, can be one of the quickest and most painless ways to be executed. But not all hangings are designed that way.

If I go with hanging then it's going to be a measured long drop hanging, actually I'm going to add a few inches more than what the measurement says is required because I prefer that extra certainty and don't care about decapitation because I'll be unconsciouss anyway so I won't experience the decapitation.

Suicide by hanging - Wikipedia

But I think hanging is probably my least preferred method. I would most likely prefer legally assissted suicide in one of those european countries, or by using a shotgun. But AS is expensive, maybe I can afford it in the future. Shotguns are just difficult to get. Hanging is going to be my emergency method, the method I'll use if I just have to do it asap and can't wait any longer.

But I thought if the carotid artery's where pressed, unconscious is quick. There are a lot of members who really only have this option. I'm trying to find good things about this method to give hope to others who may be in despair like me.
Is there other members who could please help to take fear away from hanging.
It can't be so bad

That's why it's important to share sources in these types of discussions. Otherwise we just have to trust what some anonymous strangers are saying on the internet. I don't want to bet my life like that. It's easy for misinformation to begin being spread when you don't care about sources and fact checking.

I'm not saying they're wrong though. They could be right but like I said without sources I won't bet on that.

What is your thoughts on hanging?

 

[tokapi]

I don't think i'd do drop hanging, must be traumatic to the person who finds you. my strategy is to avoid fucking anyone else up

Do you mean long drop? I wouldn't do that either. I guess I should have been more specific. I meant partial or full suspension/ short drop.

 

[Need2BFree]

I feel I have no other alternative as the other method feel through.

 

[Betsy007]

I feel like there's something missing from all the hanging stories. Like people fail to mention the person was nearly blackout drunk or wasted on whatever. It's damn difficult to do sober, I don't care how much you want to ctb.

I've tried partial suspension a few times. I can't pass out fast enough, even with knots at the carotid arteries. Panic and survival instinct got the better of me and I physically couldn't do it. I remember a news story a couple decades back about grade school kids who'd tie something around their necks and hang themselves from their closet clothes rail because they enjoyed the feeling of getting light headed or passing out. It became a huge story when some of them actually died. Who knows if it was misadventure or actual suicide. I don't know how the hell these little guys actually did it. Maybe lots of practice, getting comfortable with it and not panicking at all? IDK.

The night-night method seems like an easier way to go. https://sanctioned-suicide.net/threads/the-night-night-method-mega-thread.6834/

Yeah. If you press the carotid arteries, you go unconscious quickly. Use pubmed and don't listen to smart asses.

 

[Taraxias]

I cant find a post speaking about all the details needed. Exactly what will he do .
If a full suspension at a tree brunch outside it needs to be done at night in order to avoid people . You will need a ladder to reach the brunch and tie the rope all this using a flashlight while being on a ladder at an uneven surface at 2 meters height and at 3 the night . Also calculate the knots to be tied strong and at the right spot in order to when you hang you dont end up touching the ground. Also using a knife to cut your rope on the ladder if it is to big..
Seams a bit difficult need a lot of courage if you think exactly everything needed .. needs planing and guts
I would prefer an easy way ...
Cant find one ..

 

[stoiccactus]

I'm thinking about hanging and I'm at Home Depot now and overwhelmed at the rope selection. God damn, I'm so useless I can't even pick out a fucking rope to kill myself with.
