My Suicide Story - Be Yourself

As it is with the proverbial camel, that night was the straw that broke my back. I shut the door to my room but did not lock it. Taking a…

What is your attempted suicide story?

Answer (1 of 7): I Have attempted 4 times The first time was right before I started sophomore year. Over the summer I became really suicidal and I started saving up pills. I didn't know much about suicide methods or how many pills you needed to overdoes so I took about thirty and nothing really ...

That was scary to read, hanging seems really uncertain.. i want to go with that method but our brain is already fucked and 'choking' it will cause more harm and not necessarily death..chances are we will wake up in an even worse condition than we were.
most people lose consciousness and then wake up or in other words fail, choking you brain doesnt shut down the lights so easily, its a slow, painful and uncertain process that will leave you with severe problems.

Planning and simplicity are best for this method. If done correctly, being discovered early is the only way it can fail.

The only details of my failure I can share is a pulled tendon in my neck from struggling against the rope. Thats because I cant even suffocate myself to the point of passing out right :) SI is a bitch

I was found hanging four years ago and still have severe memory problems. I was in a wheelchair or about a year a year because brain coulsnt handle me walking I lost all my coordination i.e. Left /right/ when I'd stand still I wss permanently dizzy and had to hold on to walls and lean against I think just to walk by myself. I was stupid though and did it in the psych ward after finding my way into a (what the staff thought was) a locked and unused bathroom. They looked everywhere couldn't Find me but eventually looked in the bathroom and I was out. They said I starved my brain of oxygen and killed off cells and that it may get better in a year but it never really did

I'm sorry you had to go through that:( sounds terrible, especially to be wheelchair bound

Was it full or partial?
Did it hurt? How long until you lost consciousness?

I am ok now aside from memory problems

It was partial but the hook for the ligature was very high up and I was sat on the floor- not hanging as such but still I think that's partial

It took a while but I think that's because at first I was too scared to make the final step (sitting down completely with all weight) I kinda tried putting some weight in hopes it would still work but when I heard staff voices getting closer I just did it and it really wasn't long just long enough for me to feel the effects of cutting off blood, my ears ringing my face swelling and then it just went black. I felt like I was in a dark room just black. They carried scissors in a clipboard and they cut it off and I came to. I guess I wasn't out for too long. I took a deep breath in and was really exhausted, lay down and remember sitting up on the bed feeling like I was gonna fall off it. Balance went entirely. Then they kept me in for five months. Worst year ever They were so mad at me
I'm guessing maybe 45 seconds at most. That's what it felt like but could've been less. Definitely less than a minute

Yeah. I told them I was really happy and planned to get married and they felt pleased for me and let me go. Was a lie and I hated that I had to lie my way out but they wanted to send me to a long term hospital after that for two years. They really went mental on keeping me in. I was lucky to get out

How was the pain when you attempted?

 

[Jen0804]

How was the pain when you attempted?

It was a pressure in my head. I guess the building blood pressure in my skull... it was around 7/10... more alarming than painful but yes it hurt to me. But my ligature was kind of thin too so maybe that contributed
