It's been a while since I've taken action towards ctb, which means I've become super rusty with my chosen method (partial hanging). I decided to practice hanging last night for the first time in years, as I don't feel confident in my ability to carry out this method properly anymore. I will admit, it was a little scary going in, but I managed to work it all out and I'd like to share my findings/results with all of you.
DISCLAIMER: Everyone's body type, support structure and "rope" type are different. What I am outlining here will not necessarily work for everybody. What I am outlining is purely for educational purposes based on my own, personal experiences, and should not be taken as the definitive guide to hanging yourself. There are actual resources for that, such as THIS. If you wish to use hanging as your method, please consult other resources outside of this thread.
With all that being said, here are my findings:
Structural Support: metal bar on a loft bed, roughly 6cm thick
"Rope": 2 Leather belts, one to wrap around the bar, one for me. Belt wrapped around the bar is roughly 5cm wide, belt for me is only 3cm wide
Body type: 5'0-5'4 female, 120-140lbs
Observations during practice: Belt-loop height was most effective when placed at mouth/nose height while kneeling. Belt placement was most effective when pressed against the mid-lower half of my adams-apple. Kneeling was more effective than leaning forward/backward. Head tilted at an angle before kneeling was ideal, allowed the belt to twist the head into place and press against the correct pressure points more easily (made it easier to fix the belt placement while kneeling for any last-second adjustments). Unconsciousness was most achievable when relaxing and putting my full weight into the belt (AKA, don't half-ass it).
Observations after practice: Lightheadedness, disorietation, twiching mucles, involuntary shaking. Partial loss of hearing for the first couple of seconds immediately after ending the attempt, hearing came back within a few minutes. Breathing was erratic but quiet, became stable quickly. Could not stand up for a couple of minutes as I felt very dizzy and weak. Neck was mildly sore, soreness went away for the most part later. Headache and brain fog persisted throughout the following day, felt very tired.
I will probably do some more practice at a later time in the near future to really solidify what I've re-learned, but last night was defintely a big step in the right direction in terms of getting things right and going through with it all evetually.
Again, please don't use this thread as truth. It's for educational purposes only. Please do your own research to see what will work best for you, should you choose to use this method!
