How long do convulsions last? Hanging

[favouriteworstnight]

I know unconsciousness is usually achieved in 30 seconds or less, but then the body starts to thrash around, how long do these convulsions last?

I want to make sure I won't be saved and if hanging is too loud maybe it can happen

I've seen them last for disturbing amounts of time. I assure you that it is a cruel and unforgiving way of death. I suggest you don't, unless you have the hand of someone to hold whilst you do so.

Something like that.

If the branch is thick/strong and the knots have been tied properly the convulsions shouldn't be an issue. Besides one would be unconscious already, no? Overall hanging to me seems like the best method apart from SN and N.

I can't give you this information because I have never had a convulsion due to hanging, but have had due to OD and also epilepsy, and it is terrifying to think of it, but it feels like you are blacking out, low blood pressure, then you are unconscious already. You do not feel the convulsion (at least in my experience, and I have had more than 5 convulsions).

There are videos available on the online. For the most part, there was little thrashing. People, however, make these strange stiffened arm and neck gestures with clenched fists. You're already unconscious when this happens. It looks like a little breakdance routine. Seems peaceful to me.

Did someone hear you or something like that? I need to make sure I won't be found too soon and if I kick walls I think someone could find me

I've seen people being interrupted because of the noise. If I thrash out too much I think I could be found, but if it only lasts a few minutes that's okay

I don't think I made any sounds, like vocally, but I fell many times and people heard that. Considering you are going to be "attached" to a door, you could make some noise, yes. The best option would be to do it while you are alone.

Eu divido uma casa com algumas pessoas, então nunca fico totalmente sozinha. Eu estava pensando em esperar as pessoas que ficam em quartos próximos ao meu irem para a área externa, porque seria mais difícil de ouvir e mesmo se eu fizer algum barulho se a duração for curta não vão desconfiar, de qualquer maneira minha porta vai estar trancada e eles não são minha família, provavelmente não iriam invadir minha privacidade

Não acredito que estávamos conversando em inglês hahah

Acho que essa sua ideia poderia sim dar certo. Já vi alguns vídeos de suspensão parcial aqui no fórum e as convulsões não são tão violentas como imaginamos. Percebi que geralmente elas são no sentido para baixo: as mãos se contraindo para trás, o corpo dando uma rodopiada, mas nada absurdo, sabe? Claro que pode acontecer, mas pelo que já vi, acho difícil ser um barulho muito alto ou que dure muito. A porta trancada é essencial, mas lembra que, no caso do enforcamento, é importante que você fique uma certa duração de tempo sem ser encontrada, porque se te socorrerem antes do tempo necessário, as chances de danos cerebrais são grandes.

PS.: esse "down in a hole" é referência à Alice in Chains?
PS2.: Tô aqui caso queira conversar!

É uma referência a AIC, sim! Pelo visto tem bastante brasileiro aqui, não é? Espero que quando eu tentar CTB (suspensão completa) dê certo mesmo, estava um pouco insegura em relação ao barulho. Eu vou trancar a porta do quarto e usar uma barra de exercício na porta do banheiro, então vai ser mais silencioso ainda

Ah, suspensão completa acho que tem menos risco ainda de fazer barulho (na minha cabeça).

Please if you have to do it do it in a place you can't be found in 30min. If you are interrupted and found before that you may suffer total brain damage for the rest of your life. May God protect you from this I pray for you.
Also consider knocking yourself out right before you step off the stool. You will be hanging already unconscious and die before you know it. Feel free to pm for more info.

Yes I am planning to take some sedatives beforehand so I practically just fall asleep. Same for partial or full, should numb it a bit at least.

Convulsions can last anywhere from a few minutes to 10 minutes. But if you have a 30 minute window you should be gone in that time. Godspeed and I'm sorry life has brought you to this place.

There are anesthesias that make you not only asleep but unconscious. Like ketamine and preferably propofol you can inject yourself while the noose is still on and you will be unconscious in a few seconds.

I get prescribed quetiapine/seroquel and also have diazepam/Valium and zopiclone so I am gonna take a cocktail of that and hopefully pass out.

I also get prescribed quetiapine, I hadn't thought about this.
