Hanging troubles

[purplesky9]

I want to hang myself full suspension style but I'm having a lot of trouble with knots. When I practice with a stick and a short piece of rope I can do the knots. The problem is my rope is long and my knots don't end up looking right even though I'm following the instructions exactly. I'm getting desperate enough that I might just go ahead and hang anyway. Hopefully the knots would hold.

If you want it to tighten significantly (without the head exploding feeling from blocking the veins instead of the arteries from not tightening enough) then make sure to dip the rope in soap and oil and lubricate it so it tightens a lot easier and make sure you have a strong thin rope that can hold 5 times your weight (the thinner the rope, the more it compresses the arteries because it digs into the neck better than a thick rope) plus the pain will only last 5 to 20 seconds. Also make sure the rope is above your Adam's apple to compress the arteries significantly more than the airways. And make sure the knot is at the back of your neck. One more note: make sure you have a noose knot which this is what I mean: "https://www.animatedknots.com/noose-knot" and NOT the hangman's knot noose because the hangman's noose doesn't really tighten that much and it is a misconception of the noose.
Also add a stopper knot so it doesn't go undone.

I'm sorry you have to suffer, I always wish it's not so difficult to be permanently free from this existence, I wish there's the option to simply cease existing in peace and never suffer ever again and I see so much cruelty in how I cannot just have that, I hope you find the relief you search for.

There are knot tying guides all over the Internet you can search out. There are probably even some in the Hanging Megathread in the Suicide Compilation Sticky.

In this video the noose knot is explained very easily:



It might be a good idea to cut the rope to the length you need, if you've already found a good anchor point. This will help you tie the knots more comfortably.

Where can I find instructions on how to tie the knot how to hang myself? If you don't mind. I'm likely terminally ill and suffering to death. Tips and advice appreciated.

for real?? i thought a thicker rope was better for pain. most people recommend a 12mm over a 10mm rope for full suspension

I'm sorry I excluded the pain, but the rope will need to be so thin that it guarantees blood restriction to the brain, tho I recommend piercing your femoral artery with a 4-6mm non hollow needle, you will bleed to death rapidly, in 5 minutes or less, and you can easily find the femoral artery by pressing on the leg where the thigh is, and you can mark it with a drawing marker and start piercing. You just have to keep pressing on different spots and I eventually found a strong pulse on my leg and it made me happy knowing that I can kill my self easily.

I got a 16mm rope, is it still doable?

That is too thick, I'm sorry, it would work, but it would highly likely compress your airways more than the blood vessels, so use a 6mm synthetic winch rope that has a breaking strength of 10,000 LBS which you can find on amazon.com

Welp, that was a waste of money then. I saw someone recommended 12mm and my fatass got 16mm just in case lol.

Thanks anyway.

You need a certain amount of pressure to flatten (close) the arteries in your neck. More pressure has no "positive effect" as flatter than flat is not possible. More pressure has only the negative effect of more pain. The pressure on your neck is proportional, to the rope force divided by the rope diameter. If you hang full the rope force is proportional to your body weight. So it is nonsens, to focus only on the rope diameter without taking your body weight into account.

Femoral artery? What does this have to do with Hanging? I've seen you create many meaningless threads using 'methods' that you came up with who knows where.

In a rope, you need it to be able to penetrate the neck and still have some surface area to apply pressure. Not too thin, not too thick. If you are a person of average build, a rope the width of your finger is enough.

Are you kidding? The trachea and arteries, everything in the neck, constricts once the knot is tightened because of your weight..

Hey, I have been taking the guidance from Evelyn Lane that the rope should be 12mm. Do you think it should be thinner? I noted that it should have load bearing of 3x body weight.

10 to 14mm is fine if you are a person of 'average' build.

Gustav Hartmann explained well in the post above.

Synthetic ropes offer greater load resistance (polypropylene, polyester). You should check the breaking load before buying.

Most ropes with the thicknesses and material mentioned support a lot of weight, there should be no problems.

There are reference tables here: https://denverrope.com/rope-strength-guide/

piercing your femoral artery

I don't think this is good advice! There are several good methods, but this is definitely not one of them! I wouldn't even consider it to be a method. It's not just bad, it's terrible advice. At best, it just wouldn't work. At worst, it would create a huge mess. The lethality rate of cutting and using sharp objects is somewhere between 2–5%. They are highly ineffective. This is very well documented.

It's like your other thread about the hot-tub method. It's fine to discuss such things for entertainment purposes, but as a suicide method, they are ineffective and non-serious.

I disagree that a 16 mm rope is too thick. Of course, this is just broscience (i.e., not based on actual scientific evidence), but my personal opinion is that the sweet spot for rope thickness is somewhere between 10 and 16 mm. I would still consider 16 mm to be fine. On the other hand, I think anything below 10 mm is too thin and would just cause unnecessary pain.

What about a fat fuck tho? Asking... for no particular reason lol.

Sorry, I'm not @JesiBel, but just saw your comment. A 14 mm polypropylene or polyester braided rope is usually more than strong enough to hold you, even if you are very heavy. If you're unsure, you can check the load capacity of the rope. (If the tensile strength is given, divide it by 7 to get the load capacity.)

I'm sorry I tried to help, also what do you mean I created "meaningless" threads, is there something wrong with it or something?

I don't think it's right to "experiment" with other users. Suggest things that, instead of being effective, would end up causing them harm.

It is better to be careful, in desperation many might try a bad method and end up worse.

 

[WishfulNeanderthal]

The concensus is 12mm rope, and i dont think you should advice others for stuff that you havent proved evidence for? What if someone uses 6mm rope and it ends up in more pain than neccesary?

Please stop giving advice unless you have actual evidence for it.

 

[lonely person1]

12mm is fine. The a rope, Not too thin, not too thick. Additionally, you should consider a good anchor point that can support the weight of your body.

Is this chance low even if you partially sever, or puncture the femoral artery directly with a big non-hollow needle (because completely severing the artery will cause it to retract and close quickly)?!

Yes — unless there is evidence to the contrary, which there isn't.

An example of what I mean by evidence: drugs/poisons have an extremely low fatality rate too. Yet, there is well documented evidence that using SN (sodium nitrite) is an increasingly popular method that can be effective. If I search for the method you mention, all I can find is a couple of isolated incidents with unique circumstances — for example, the victim was a medical practitioner.

It's not about whether it's anatomically possible. The problem is that people can't do it or can't do it correctly.
