partial feels kinda good lol. When I did it i started dreaming it felt like sleeping. Then i was suddenly on the ground regaining counsciousness because my setup was shit.
i tried going for full suspension a few days ago but it looked very scary i chickend out
but i doubt the feeling is much different, you loose consicounsess really quick and your body becomes numb

it is all about the rope's pressure against your arteries. according to California courts (gov) website, in their strangulation reference guide, it takes 11lb of pressure on both carotid arteries for 10 seconds to induce unconsciousness and 4.4lb of pressure on your jugular for 10 seconds to induce unconsciousness. so you will likely lose consciousness in less than 15 seconds. all that to say that i pray you dont follow through with your plans and if you do, i suggest you keep a knife or pair of scissors on you to cut the rope in case you wish to turn back. <3

For me, it was really uncomfortable. Well, for full suspension, at least when I initially committed to it, I just felt a sudden sharp pain shoot through my brain and neck and quickly change my mind and chicken out. For partial suspension, it wasn't that bad, but even that was too uncomfortable for me and I also chickened out. Also, don't take my word for it because I think it varies depending on the person.

it feels like a really heavy pressure- if you can do it right where you aren't crushing your windpipe it sort of makes you reallllllyyy lightheaded, and like your in the middle of a really intense asthma episode. not the can't breathe part (although in my experience it's really difficult not to crush ur windpipe) but more the tightness in the chest; shaky hands, grey dots climbing up your vision.

it hurts like hell, for a short while. if you make sure you can't abort mid attempt, it's quite lethal. if the setup is reliable and you're sure you won't be disturbed for at least an hour, the only variable at play is your resolve to go through with it. so, think carefully if you need this. the price of surviving an attempt can be worse than the life you have now.

I wouldnt be able to tell precisely but i remember my vision started blacking out and I lost control of my body in a matter of seconds id guess less than 10 seconds. I had 0 SI that time, wish I had that same courage now... but now im scared of failing again. Thats the most scary part tbh, if you do it make sure you have a proper setup and that no one will save you

Do you remember not breathing during the attempt, before passing out? Or were you breathing loudly before passing out?

And do you remember if you placed the shoelace high or low on the neck?

I had a very strange experience about 15 years ago. I didn't intend to try to partially hang myself, however, the medication I had taken caused me to act out of character and without much memory. I took a well know sleeping tablet and instead of just going straight to bed, I sat in my living room for a while. Next thing I know I'm coming round with a huge pulse in my chest beating for me to almost wake up. I opened my eyes with a start, realised I had a rope around my neck, unable to breathe and I was partially hanging from a door handle. I don't remember anything leading up to it. Sure, I was depressed and suicidal, but I didn't plan any of it. I believe that pulse was my body's way of making a last ditch attempt to keep me alive. Without it, I doubt I would have woken up.

My attempts at partial suspension hanging were initially tolerable, but the discomfort was too great for me to carry on all the way to completion.

Interesting. Can you pull this off intentionally, now, if you were to try? What was your position like? Do you have any advice based on your experience for someone that wants to succeed in partial suspension hanging?

It's the most difficult part of choosing a method for me. I tried to cut my throat in the hospital psyche ward with a cut up soda can and fear and instinct held me back. Now I have a beautiful scar on my neck

If you mean full suspension hanging, you will likely initially feel more extreme panic and discomfort than pain (which will start once you run out of oxygen). Do remember that you're only going to be conscious for at most 30 seconds if it's done right, and then it's completely painless after that.

I heard that it's terrifying the pain you feel immediately once the weight is placed on your neck. What do you think of that? What's your take on it?

idk i didnt thought too much when I did it, I was 15 and so so desperate i just googled hwo to tie a knot (i used a hangman's knot) put it on my neck and sat and lost conscious.
im honestly too much of a chicken to do try it rn
recently i did a few experiments with a bedsheet and I tried pressuring my neck with tightening the bedsheet with my own hands but it just felt like my head was about to explode, then I did another experimetn where I used a door, I made a knot in one end and hang it between the doorframe (pic below) and a slipknot, then i put it on my neck and sat and in a matter of milliseconds i felt my strength leaving my body and stood up.
So I think its more about putting enough pressure on the neck than finding the perfect spot

J'ai entendu dire que la douleur ressentie dès que le poids est placé sur votre cou est terrifiante. Qu'en pensez-vous ? Qu'en pensez-vous ?
Hi Evelyn ! You heard that but you, do you think it's extremely painfull (terrifying) actually ? I thought it was your best option anyways. Thank you !

Every time I managed to get close to passing out during hanging, it felt exactly like this:

First, I get lightheaded, a feeling almost like being sucked out of my body.

My extremities then begin to shake/spasm, possibly as a response to blood flow being cut off, whilst my vision begins to get blurry and staticy.

If I manage to push past this and maintain courage, I get tunnel vision and my hearing becomes distorted and louder. Sometimes my chest would get a heavy feeling, I can't quite describe it, but this was the most disconcerting feeling of the whole experience.

I never managed to make it past that last stage doing partial hanging, but if I had I'd probably be dead now since I'm fairly certain I was teetering on the edge of falling unconscious. And I never managed to muster up the courage to try full, since I'm obviously still here and that definitely would've done the job.

Also keep in mind that everyone is different and some people feel nothing before they pass out (described as unexpected and sudden), while others get a symptom or two, or many. I seem to be "special" in the sense I begin to spasm quite quickly while still conscious, which is something I've only heard from one other person on here. I've also never heard of anyone getting that awful chest feeling either. So your mileage may vary.

Do I think the pain is the worst thing ever? No, I don't think so. It's not like the rope is cutting through your neck or anything. The rope simply compresses your neck. The rope isn't whipping your neck or sawing it. From this perspective, it does seem like a very non-violent death. It's simply your body resting on a rope.

I will say that you will feel some pain in your neck, but just keep in mind that there's people that do this for fun and live to tell the tale. People that pass out using full suspension hanging and then get resuscitated by their partner during BDSM. And also, don't forget that the pain stops once you lose consciousness (which happens within 20 seconds).

Full suspension hanging is a lot more peaceful than many other suicide methods.

Keep in mind that the limited amount of pain you'll feel is just a tiny price to pay for death. Remember that dying is always either painful or uncomfortable. Even dying naturally is painful.

Edit: I do hear that it feels like the rope is crushing your neck, but I keep telling myself that it's just a tiny part of the body that will feel pain for a limited amount of time.

In my experience, it's really uncomfortable at first but it's all over in a couple seconds once you pass out. After that, it's quietness and peace. The only reason I failed is because at some point after I fainted, the belt I was using broke. I wish you the best of luck.

I tried partial hanging and my head feels like a pressured balloon but not too much. The knot was on / above my adams apple in the beginning but I found after experimentation that its fine to put the knot below. Its even possible to swallow that way. After like 10 seconds your vision decreases as many people said. If not, then I think you may not be doing it right. I have not yet gone through past the tunnel vision and pass out. I hope I have the courage to do that soon.

One thing I did notice is that since I have been trying it the last few days, I am starting to shake, my hands now sometimes shake uncontrollably. Also, my chest hurts a lot these days, like my hear. It may be due to a stress response or the huge amount of coffee I am drinking.

from my personal experience (I was saved before it was too late) it felt pretty much as I imagined it. Your head feels heavy and you feel like the blood stops pumping to your head, you feel like your being suffocated and if you try to scream you let out a hellish suffering sound

Would you try that again, in the future, if you know you won't get interrupted?
