Resource Essential guide to hanging (aka making full suspension hanging accessible to everyone)

[emoplugg]

a bit late to be asking this since i've already ordered it and it will be arriving tomorrow (found out about this forum after ordering it), but do you think 3/4in (19mm) will be fine? its a bit larger than the 12mm you recommended earlier. if it matters, i'm slightly underweight for my height, around 120lbs (54kg).

thanks in advance and thanks for the guide, its a big help :>

Why is partial hanging and night-night method not as effective and in the case of night night method a waste of time?

I mean, if you go in the night-night megathread, you'll find that even people on there say it's a waste of time. It's not even a method that works that often, it's not that well documented. Although there is a video online of someone dying using it. You can give it a shot if you want, but don't say you haven't been warned.
Now, partial hanging works. There have been several cases of people making it work. But in practice, it's so random and unpredictable whether or not it will work that I just don't recommend it. I tried partial many times and it just didn't work for me.
Also, I believe that when doing partial you can't breathe either (similar to full suspension), since it's only when I managed to block my airway that I got somewhat close to getting somewhere with it. But if you're gonna close off your airway, you might as well go full suspension since it's guaranteed to work, in contrast to partial.
With full suspension you put a lot more pressure on your neck (and thus, on your carotid arteries) compared to partial suspension, so if you definitely definitely want to die, go with full suspension.
That said, if you want to go with partial or night-night, you're welcome to do so, since you're not really losing much in the process, just keep your expectations in check.

The rope you ordered is way too thick. It will work, but expect additional pain on your windpipe due to the size of it. I recommend you get a new one, sorry to say. You can use the 19mm one, but it's just not recommended for a more comfortable death. With a thinner rope you will have an easier time compressing your carotid arteries, and thus you'll pass out quicker compared to if you were to use the 19mm rope.
I'm glad you're finding my guide useful :)

gotcha, i appreciate it! <3 i'm fine with waiting an extra day or two to make it less painful

Hi Evelyn, do you think this method could be possible with a wardrobe/clothing rack ? I weigh a little over 84 kgs and I don't think I'd be successful using a door or a ceiling fan. Was considering something like this (attached). Thanks

I can see the thing having wheels on it, won't it slip away? But that aside, it should be fine for partial, but not for full suspension, due to it's low height.

I think it can lock in place but I was planning to use sandbags to secure it too. I'm 149cm/4'11, would that possibly make this work for full suspension?

Come on, it's clear that the thing isn't designed for full suspension hanging.

Still learning about this method so it wasn't too clear to me whoops

If finding an anchor point at home was that easy, I'd be dead by now too. If you don't have a valid anchor point at home, your only two options are to either do it outside or give up on it.

 

[fkyou]

I can barely remember anything about my partial attempt. The doctors said it seems liks I had lost consciousness very quickly. Unfortunately I made a lot of noise and my father came in (I was 15 at that time). If he had come in just a little bit later, I wouldn't be here any more.

My attempt on full suspension was completely unplanned and unorganised. In addition I was drunk that evening. Then I was 19, still living with my parents, but they were not at home. In my room there was a hook on the ceiling where I fixed the necktie. I didn't make a noose but just an ordinary knot. I also didn't kick the chair away but just stepped down of it. That's probably why I could make it back. I hanged for about a minute or so (can't tell it exactly). It felt very uncomfortable on my neck. I didn't use any padding. I started panicking and went back on the chair. That evening I didn't have any courage to try again. Maybe if I had waited a bit longer, I would have succeeded. I had to use a lot of make up the next days to cover up the red colour in my face and on my throat.

I still think that hanging is the best method for me, because I know what I did wrong. I'm much better prepared now. I would also prefer SN or something like that, but with my first attempt I have a suicide record with the police and fear to be forced to go to psychic ward before I have the chance to ctb.

What kind of noise did you make during yr partial attempt?

What kind of noise did you make during yr partial attempt?

I was told that I made loud noises trying to breathe, coughing. I also banged my body on the wall. As I wrote I didn't do that consciously, so I can only tell what my father told me

Can you tell what was yr setup and the position you did?

 

[Gone soon]

I put a nylon pantyhose around a window handle and made a simple noose. I'm not sure about the position any more but I think I kneeled forward

Who are you? Why should I listen to you? Can I trust you?

I am a suicidal woman that has been studying about hanging for more than five years. I have attempted suicide by hanging a few times in the past, and I plan on dying by full suspension hanging. I have studied about hanging from various different sources, which include guides, videos and testimonials. I have experimented with hanging for long enough and with enough intensity to believe that I am in a position where I can share my knowledge with others that are interested in hanging.

Is this guide right for me?

Well, it depends. Do you want to learn how to hang yourself? If yes, this is the guide for you. This guide is aimed at complete beginners, and doesn't rely on you having any prior knowledge about hanging. Also, this guide is suitable for you even if you don't have a place to hang yourself from (yet). My aim is to get you from inexperienced to ready for full suspension hanging.

Why are you making this guide? I've seen some other guide(s) around, are they not good enough?

I am quite sure that there are other guides around, but I've also seen plenty of conflicting or erroneous information, which led quite a few people to be unsure about details (sometimes, quite important information). Also, this guide will contain the bare-minimum, practical information on hanging, without any of the theoretical fluff that you could find in other guides. It will be straight to the point, with clear, concise information.

Why is this guide about full suspension hanging instead of partial suspension hanging or night-night?

The reason for that is because partial suspension hanging is so, so difficult to pull off that you're better off not attempting suicide in the first place. Believe me, I was fixated on partial suspension hanging for the longest time. I actually thought I could reliably die from partial suspension hanging. I just want the best for you all, I don't want to see you waste your time and be disappointed, so I'm gonna teach you how to do full suspension hanging instead. Also, night-night is even more of a waste of time, don't even bother with that.

Is this going to be a drop hanging? Will I be breaking my neck?

No, you won't be breaking your neck. There's a misconception that by breaking your neck you will die instantly or lose consciousness instantly. This is not true. Instead, what breaking your neck does is paralyze you making you unable to move. That's why it looks like they are dead. We'll be focusing on full suspension hanging, where our main objective is to compress the carotid arteries, which will lead to unconsciousness within 20 seconds, followed by death.

Where are the carotid arteries located?

The carotid arteries are located in the sides your neck. They are most exposed towards the upper part of your neck. You can feel the pulse of your carotid arteries by placing your fingers on the upper part of your neck: it will feel like a strong pulse.

What type of ligature should I use to hang myself?

You need a rope to hang yourself. Some people say that you can get away with an extension cord, a belt, a necktie, etc. but I have heard stories of them snapping during a full suspension hanging attempt. Is it worth the risk, considering you could end up with severe brain damage if your hanging attempt is suddenly interrupted? That's why I recommend a rope. I recommend 12mm braided polyester or polypropylene rope. They should support pretty much anyone with an average weight, but always make sure you check the "safe working load" of whatever rope you're buying.

What type of knot should I use for the noose on my neck?

You should use a noose knot (not a hangman's knot). Check out this video:

What type of knot should I use for the anchor point?

You should use a bowline knot for the anchor point. Check out this video:
With this knot you can even tie a knot to anchor points that are too high up for you.

Where can I find a good anchor point for full suspension hanging?

Check around your house first: does anything look sturdy enough to hold your full body weight? I realize that finding an anchor point for full suspension hanging inside a house might be very hard (if not impossible) for some. So I decided to write a guide on how to find a suitable anchor point outside your house. Please take a look: https://sanctioned-suicide.net/thre...hor-point-for-full-suspension-hanging.175101/.

Should I put anything between the rope and my neck?

Yes. I recommend you put something light such as a tablecloth or a plastic bag. This is to reduce friction of the rope against your neck, to ensure that the rope can constrict your neck smoothly and to ensure that you don't get a rope burn. If you are particularly heavy (say more than 100 kg), you could even use a towel as padding for your neck.

When should I do it?

You should do this when you know that your hanging attempt won't get interrupted for 30 minutes.
And, if you're doing this outside, just do it at night. Preferably during the winter, so the night is even darker, that way nobody will be able to interrupt you from hanging yourself.

How should it be done?

Follow the three basic rules on full suspension hanging. More details on https://sanctioned-suicide.net/thre...self-aka-most-common-hanging-mistakes.174897/


This is the end of this short guide. I hope this is of help to you all!

Hi, why do you advise a 12 mm rope? I thought 10 mm was better..

 

[Jarni]

Thank you very much @Evelyn Lane for your posts, it's really greatly appreciated.

Please what do you think about this type of anchor point on the joined pic on the locked door (impossible to open the door with the door handle)?

The rope just placed higher for allowing the body to not touch the floor, I just draw smth very approximate and schematic.

For sure the rope must not be very thick for this, it's the main potential problem I see with this.

 

[Jarni]

potentially better Idea with the anchor point on the door (image attached), but I have no idea if it is really solid. And 50-60kg maybe are maximum for this. And this is not for tall people.

 

[Evelyn Lane]

Hi, why do you advise a 12 mm rope? I thought 10 mm was better..

A thicker rope is less uncomfortable, but a thinner rope digs in deeper into the neck. When you apply your whole body weight, I don't think it really matters. But you can use a thinner rope if you want, it's up to personal preference.

I made a thread on this today. You've seen it already. Anyway, I don't think the rope would be too thick for this to work, if you ask me.

 

[ausiegal]

Thank you Evelyn for all your time and effort on these threads!!! You have spent hours helping others & have no idea how grateful we all are to have you here.

I was hoping to ask for your advice about rope - would either of these two work for full suspension hanging?

Thanks in advance

Hm... these are very good ropes. I can say with confidence that the first one (12mm x 10m) is the one I'd use. The second one looks good too, but I can't see what it looks like, so I can't really comment on it. But they're both good for full suspension, you can't go wrong with either.

If they're sturdy enough, sure.

Oh they're like metal rafters that are part of the structure of the house

What about this one?

 

[happilyneverafter]

That's a nice idea, but I don't know of anything that causes immediate unconsciousness that might be easily available.

Whippets maybe

Qui es-tu ? Pourquoi devrais-je t'écouter ? Puis-je te faire confiance ?

Je suis une femme suicidaire qui étudie la pendaison depuis plus de cinq ans. J'ai tenté de me suicider par pendaison à plusieurs reprises dans le passé et je prévois de mourir par pendaison totale. J'ai étudié la pendaison à partir de différentes sources, notamment des guides, des vidéos et des témoignages. J'ai expérimenté la pendaison suffisamment longtemps et avec suffisamment d'intensité pour croire que je suis en mesure de partager mes connaissances avec d'autres personnes intéressées par la pendaison.

Ce guide est-il adapté à mes besoins ?

Eh bien, cela dépend. Vous voulez apprendre à vous pendre ? Si oui, ce guide est fait pour vous. Ce guide s'adresse aux débutants complets et ne nécessite aucune connaissance préalable en matière de suspension. De plus, ce guide vous convient même si vous n'avez pas (encore) d'endroit où vous pendre. Mon objectif est de vous faire passer du stade d'inexpérience à celui de préparation à la suspension complète.

Pourquoi faites-vous ce guide ? J'ai vu d'autres guides, ne sont-ils pas assez bons ?

Je suis sûr qu'il existe d'autres guides, mais j'ai également vu de nombreuses informations contradictoires ou erronées, ce qui a conduit de nombreuses personnes à douter de certains détails (parfois, des informations assez importantes). De plus, ce guide contiendra le strict minimum d'informations pratiques sur la suspension, sans aucun des détails théoriques que vous pourriez trouver dans d'autres guides. Il ira droit au but, avec des informations claires et concises.

Pourquoi ce guide concerne-t-il la suspension complète plutôt que la suspension partielle ou la suspension nuit-nuit ?

La raison en est que la suspension partielle est tellement difficile à réaliser qu'il vaut mieux ne pas tenter de se suicider en premier lieu. Croyez-moi, j'ai été obsédée par la suspension partielle pendant très longtemps. En fait, je pensais pouvoir mourir de manière fiable d'une suspension partielle. Je veux juste le meilleur pour vous tous, je ne veux pas vous voir perdre votre temps et être déçus, alors je vais vous apprendre à faire une suspension totale à la place. De plus, la nuit est encore plus une perte de temps, ne vous embêtez même pas avec ça.

Est-ce que ça va être une chute libre ? Est-ce que je vais me casser le cou ?

Non, vous ne vous casserez pas le cou. Il existe une idée fausse selon laquelle en vous cassant le cou, vous mourrez instantanément ou perdrez connaissance instantanément. Ce n'est pas vrai. Au lieu de cela, le fait de vous casser le cou vous paralyse et vous empêche de bouger. C'est pourquoi on dirait qu'ils sont morts. Nous allons nous concentrer sur la suspension totale, où notre objectif principal est de comprimer les artères carotides, ce qui entraînera une perte de connaissance dans les 20 secondes, suivie de la mort.

Où sont situées les artères carotides ?

Les artères carotides sont situées sur les côtés de votre cou. Elles sont plus exposées vers la partie supérieure de votre cou. Vous pouvez sentir le pouls de vos artères carotides en plaçant vos doigts sur la partie supérieure de votre cou : vous ressentirez un pouls fort.

Quel type de ligature dois-je utiliser pour me pendre ?

Pour vous pendre, vous avez besoin d'une corde. Certains disent que vous pouvez vous en sortir avec une rallonge, une ceinture, une cravate, etc., mais j'ai entendu des histoires de cas où ces cordes se sont cassées lors d'une tentative de suspension complète. Le risque en vaut-il la peine, étant donné que vous pourriez vous retrouver avec de graves lésions cérébrales si votre tentative de suspension est soudainement interrompue ? C'est pourquoi je recommande une corde. Je recommande une corde tressée en polyester ou en polypropylène de 12 mm. Elles devraient supporter à peu près n'importe qui avec un poids moyen, mais assurez-vous toujours de vérifier la « charge de travail sûre » de la corde que vous achetez.

Quel type de nœud dois-je utiliser pour le nœud coulant autour de mon cou ?

Vous devez utiliser un nœud coulant (pas un nœud de bourreau). Regardez cette vidéo :

Quel type de nœud dois-je utiliser pour le point d'ancrage ?

Vous devez utiliser un nœud de chaise comme point d'ancrage. Regardez cette vidéo :
Avec ce nœud, vous pouvez même faire un nœud à des points d'ancrage qui sont trop hauts pour vous.

Où puis-je trouver un bon point d'ancrage pour une suspension complète ?

Regardez d'abord autour de votre maison : est-ce que quelque chose semble assez solide pour supporter tout le poids de votre corps ? Je me rends compte que trouver un point d'ancrage pour une suspension complète à l'intérieur d'une maison peut être très difficile (voire impossible) pour certains. J'ai donc décidé d'écrire un guide sur la façon de trouver un point d'ancrage approprié à l'extérieur de votre maison. Jetez-y un œil : https://sanctioned-suicide.net/thre...hor-point-for-full-suspension-hanging.175101/ .

Dois-je mettre quelque chose entre la corde et mon cou ?

Oui. Je vous conseille de mettre quelque chose de léger comme une nappe ou un sac en plastique. Cela permet de réduire la friction de la corde contre votre cou, de garantir que la corde puisse serrer votre cou en douceur et de vous assurer de ne pas vous brûler avec la corde. Si vous êtes particulièrement lourd (disons plus de 100 kg), vous pouvez même utiliser une serviette comme rembourrage pour votre cou.

Quand dois-je le faire ?

Vous devriez le faire lorsque vous savez que votre tentative de suspension ne sera pas interrompue pendant 30 minutes.
Et si vous faites cela à l'extérieur, faites-le la nuit. De préférence en hiver, pour que la nuit soit encore plus sombre, personne ne pourra vous empêcher de vous pendre.

Comment faut-il procéder ?

Suivez les trois règles de base de la suspension totale. Plus de détails sur https://sanctioned-suicide.net/thre...self-aka-most-common-hanging-mistakes.174897/


C'est la fin de ce petit guide. J'espère qu'il vous sera utile

Si j'ai bien compris, les 2 vidéos montrent 1) le bon type de noeud à faire pour passer la tête à l'intérieur (noeud positionné haut sur la nuque) et 2) le bon type de noeud pour le point d'ancrage solide. Je parle mal anglais, donc désolé. Can you please confirm I undetstood right, please, Evelyn Lane ?

Essa é uma boa ideia, mas não conheço nada que cause inconsciência imediata e que possa ser facilmente obtido.
