How much pain do you expect to feel during ctb?

[Widow39]

I don't recall having seen a similar thread.

How much pain do you expect to feel during your ctb, or how much painful do you expect it to be?

Personally it's probably for in 1 year and unless I change my opinion until then, I'm planing to go the fsh route. I expect an intense pain in my neck, suffocating a bit, then hopefully passing out after max 30 seconds or so.

And you?

Charcoal burning here. I expect lots of heat from the charcoal, racing heart, nausea, headeches, dizziness. Of course anxiety while waiting. Overall not too bad.

Sn

I expect puking. Throat burning. Nausea. Dizziness. Anxiety and heart racing. Not too bad. I've had worse panic attacks.

I'm not even sure I want to go through with CTB yet, but obviously this one of the things holding me back (apart from the tiniest bit of hope I still have that I might be able to turn things around on my mental disorders).

Method would be either SN or Inert gas.
With the former I expect throat burning and nausea, with the latter I expect being more being at peace regarding physical pain.
But mostly I fear the intense anxiety, panic or SI with both methods. Maybe that means I'm not ready yet, idk.

I'm mainly here to know and potentially prepare some options as that would give me a sense of security no matter what I end up deciding in the future.
Also it's the first place in the internet or otherwise that I feel both seen and not permanently judged for my feelings.

SN definitely sounds like the least painful. Unless you can get your paws on Nembutal or one of the other drugs used for aid-in-dying, which I think includes a heavy cocktail of an antiemitic, and a benzo. But MAID drugs are so heavily regulated, even more so than the most uptight states about opioids.

Ofc Nembutal would also be preferable to me over the other 2 I mentioned above.

SN also includes antiemetics (easy to get) and Benzos, plural (not as easy, but still very doable). Without it, it's not really a safe method due to extreme nausea being likely and the SI factor that you counter with the benzos which also help in losing consciousness fast.
With Nembutal the Benzos are less important actually, although in any official VAS procedure they are given ofc.

Partial hanging. When I attempted before, I felt absolutely zero pain right up until I passed out. I am probably still going to do partial, so I anticipate not feeling any pain.

You pass out but still alive , What happens ?

I've tried partial hanging before, and the worst part is the pain when I can't breathe and my lungs are screaming for oxygen. Also the feeling like my head is gonna explode. I figured out if I can make myself unconscious quicker though, once I pass out it's not so bad.
