How bad does hanging hurt?

[heavybloom]

I don't have any other way to go about this. I guess I'm just scared that it will be a horrible way to go. How bad does it hurt? How long?

It doesn't if you do it right. 10-20 seconds at most. There are videos on wpd and most people who have the correct setup lose consciousness within seconds.

A good setup and about 20 minutes alone send you on your journey.

Evelyn Lane has pretty good information on that

Ah that is a lie.

The PPH labeled hanging as a non-peaceful method for a reason.
Yes, you will pass out quickly. But the pain of the rope digging deep into your skin will be there for those few moments.
And do not forget the time dilation people experience when they know that they are about to die. A few seconds can feel like eternity there.

You can reduce the pain by correctly placing the rope above your adams apple.
But fully removing the pain will sadly be impossible.

This is merely a hypothesis of mine but Ketamine might help you with the pain as it is also used in anasthesia.
Super easy to source as well from DH

Even then, I'd place it above other popular methods like SN when it comes to speed. I believe that some amount of pain is to be expected during ctb. A completely painless death isn't accessible for most of us (unless you have access to N, firearms or cliff or smth like that.)
