How can you make hanging less painful

[Crabsarecool?]

I've tried a few times and it hurt a lot anyway to make it feel a bit better when i do it tonight?

Go check out the resource compilation. The Night Night method, which can be found there (as one example involving constricting the neck) looks at using the carotid arteries, which supposedly reduces discomfort if you can find the sweet spot. I don't know enough about it to know if that can be applied to standard hanging, or if you're better off looking at altering your method somewhat. But that's what YOUR research is for, so I would encourage you to go check it out.

But do your research, and don't do it tonight if you don't feel well informed enough to avoid discomfort and risk of failure.

In my opinion you should never be asking logistical questions on the day of your CTB attempt. You should have been planning it for a long time, and been sure of your method for a long time. Last minute plans often lead to failed attempts. And this is no joke. Failed hanging attempts can lead to disability for life, so please plan it carefully to avoid such an occurrence. Good luck in whatever you decide to do.

Without sounding unpleasant...by doing it correctly. The right rope and doing full should greatly limit any discomfort. Anything else us a compromise and lessens the results.

Last time I tried, I couldn't stand it either, I'm thinking about using benzodiazepines to not feel so much pain, but Don't do it out of impulse and improvisation

We're all different, but I think maybe committing makes all the difference? When I hung myself it was a really shitty attempt, since I was in jail and had to make do with a rope made from a bedsheet. But I was 100% committed, I thought I'd break my neck by making sure the drop length was 6 feet but I'd still be fully suspended. I didn't know the sheet would stretch like it did and only achieved a partial (my foot hit the ground and took most of the weight away from my neck) but I still lost consciousness incredibly fast, ~10 seconds from what I can remember. There was only the briefest moment of panic/pain before I forced myself to stop struggling and I was out, bright light and blissful peace and all that stuff you read about.

That said, @Anonymoussn is right - if you haven't thought out/planned out and committed to every aspect of your plan, its just an impulse attempt that's going to be more likely to end in damage and forced treatment than death. That's not me getting on your case, that's me trying to help you make sure your situation won't just be worse after tonight. I wish you peace and happiness, whatever happens. Much love.

I'm with @falloutcarter13

when I'm committed to gittin' 'er dun, my only concern is not being stopped/ found and resuscitated. I'm not trying to be mean to OP, either. just whenever I see concerns much beyond "I'm alive, how do I stop that?" I wonder if the person asking is miserable enough to stop living
