Resource How to hang yourself

[SoFewMethods]

So where do you place the noose around the neck and can can you explain how long it takes until you're dead as well as how fast you lose consciousness?

You should place the noose above the hyoid bone, preferably at the mylohyoideus.

If done correctly, it should take 10-15 seconds to lose conciousness and 30 minutes to die.

I will attempt partial hanging today but I am scared I will start moving like crazy while unconscious and my family will suspect something and break the door. So is it true that my body gonna start to move by itself after sometime?
Did u

Just curious, but what are the reasons why anyone would choose to ctb with any method other than partial hanging? To me, it looks too good to be true, quick, painless, good chance of success, accessible. I dont mean to be rude, sorry if I am.

Ever tried it? Cuz when I first tried it the SI was really bad

 

[lqpbxeuh]

In what way do I tie the other end of the ligature to the support ? Do I use a slip knot? Can I show pictures of what I have if that's allowed?

Ideally don't want to end up brain damaged so please inform me.

I have not. Elaborate on your experience? I'm leaning towards hanging and would like to gather information so I dont end up brain damaged.

 

[SoFewMethods]

Use a snuggle hitch knot. And yes, you're allowed to share pictures of your setup.

I have a question if anyone can help. I have read that people recommend a 10mm, 11mm or 12mm rope. I was hoping to find a 11mm rope on Canadian Amazon but can't find one. I have mobility issues and can't go out to stores.

I am doing full suspension. I am 5 feet 8 inches, 170 pounds. Which would you recommend, a 10mm rope or 12mm rope? Probably polyester or Polypropylene. Thank you

 

[Kris7825]

I made a thread about this but I feel I should post it here also because I've received a few private messages from people stating how much it is helping them. Basically people are saying the slip knot was choking them and causing pain while the noose knot is almost painless and they can feel themselves going unconscious very quickly.

It's your choice but please watch the videos. The slip knot will not work for hanging. The noose knot will work for sure.

Does the ropes thickness affect its ability to block the carotid arteries? I've got both a 1 and 1/2 inch thick rope and was wandering which one will get the job done better.

1/2 inch is about 12mm. 10mm to 12mm is optimal from what I've read on here so maybe the 1/2 inch is best

Not to sound like a pro-lifer guys but GIVE IT UP. Partial hanging doesn't work for most people no matter what you do, desperation not withstanding.

Erm, no- it's a valid method. Is it easy? No. Is any methods easy? No.

 

[WoNkEy_DoNkEy]

Erm, no- it's a valid method. Is it easy? No. Is any methods easy? No.

@mehdone Most people on here who tried are still on here (having settled for full suspension or moved to a totally different method). I think that should tell you all you need to know. It works for a few but not most. I could literally only mention two or three users who've died by this method on sasu.

When looking in to any method it's always beneficial to look at what the suicide data in the real world says about it. Don't let other people's opinion or failure posts on here deter you from a method of your choice. Instead learn from their experiences on how to make your attempt work. Partial hanging is a very commonly practiced method of suicide in most hanging suicide reports.

@WoNkEy_DoNkEy not everyone has the luxury of exit bag, N or SN. Stop making people feel trapped when their only way out is partial hanging.

And please stop patronising and shouting at us. We try to be kind to people who are talking about cutting their wrists or taking ODs of OTC medicine. We recognise the pain they're going through and we empathise. We try to reduce their suffering and show some kindness.

@rozeske You know perfectly well yourself about this method and you're lucky enough to either have SN or to be ordering it. It's unfortunate that partial doesn't work for most people but it's also kinda saddening to watch futile conversations going over and over if some can be dissuaded from early on. Good intentions only @Ash .

 

[Ash]

Good intentions only @Ash .

Believe me when I say that's not how it felt.

 

[EKY]

Would neck ties work for partial ? Any ideas or tips would be appreciated. Something I want to suggest. I see alot of people talking about using door knobs or closet racks and being found . I plan to do a a partial in the woods on a low hanging branch . Any thoughts on that ?

Am I really screwed if someone finds me before 30 minutes?

Are you talking about partial? If by "screwed" you mean brain damaged then possibly - probably even. Partial knocks you out quickly, i.e. you're fully unconscious within a few minutes, but actual death takes longer - 20 minutes I've read.

From my own experience (with a couple of belts) I'd say partial works. I was unconscious very quickly, within seconds, and had it not been for one of the belts snapping, I feel confident in saying I would be dead now. Instead, I crashed to the floor and came to very disorientated - I'll never forget that feeling. No idea how long I was out for but it could have only been a few seconds, maybe 5 max.

Yup, that's what I meant. I don't think I've got the correct type of belt to make it work, but I think I can make do with other stuff... or at least I would have had I not been under constant watch. :')

Did you put one belt on the other? Or did you put one belt higher around your neck and the other lower?
Can you draw the location of the straps or send a photo?

Here's a good website that shows pros and cons of various ropes. Looks like polyester is a good choice for full suspension

I have purchased a rope for half a year now but couldn't get the courage up to try. I am really scared that mid way through if I make some noise, my family would find me. I am also scared that if I fail and have a red mark on my neck my family would be suspicious :( but this is the only way that would work for me.

 

[thot88]

I'm just asking out of curiosity. Has anyone experienced and survived hanging. How does it feel?

I'm just asking out of curiosity. Has anyone experienced and survived hanging. How does it feel?

I have survived two attempts, one full suspension hanging and the other partial hanging.
During my full suspension hanging attempt I remember being incredibly scared of the pain I'd experience so I tried to gradually lower myself from the chair so as not to put too much pressure on my neck right away. The pain was quite bearable if it weren't for the fact that I felt myself suffocating, but I endured it and got used to it fairly quickly. It felt like my head was going to explode from the pressure building in it. Unfortunately, while doing that I slipped off the chair (that's at least what I imagine must've happened) and immediately lost consciousness. At that point, I was completely suspended and didn't feel any pain or discomfort. Having suddenly slipped from the chair, the rope was not positioned correctly and was therefore putting much pressure on my trachea rather than on the carotid arteries, so I regained consciousness after what might've been 10 seconds. And when I did a wave of sharp and excruciating pain originating from my neck and spreading to my head and rest of the body hit me. I managed to endure it at first, but after it became clear to me that I wasn't going to pass out as I had planned I gave up.
My neck had a distinct red ligature mark for a week afterward. It hurt like hell. I could barely swallow and definitely couldn't rotate my head without being in pain.
But yeah the suspension hanging attempt was much less painful though it still felt uncomfortable and I was in pain for a week after attempting as well. Hope that answers your question.

 

[BrugmansiaFreak]

Please, someone can help me how to break the survival instinct? It's too much for me, I always get closer to black out but it doesn't let me do
Please
I have access to zolpidem and benzos... I can't deal anymore

What knot type did you use around your neck when you failed the full suspension; where you lost consciousness but then regained it?

Edit: I'm wondering if you used a knot type which doesn't constrict as weight is applied, and as such rather than the knot tightening all around your neck you instead were just crushing the throat?

 

[shaucro]

Did you put one belt on the other? Or did you put one belt higher around your neck and the other lower?
Can you draw the location of the straps or send a photo?

One connected to the other, so effectively a noose at both ends. One end around a beam, the other around my neck. Sorry, no drawings or photos as I'm uncomfortable in providing that amount of detail.

 

[BardBarrie]

What type of knot?
A slipknot. It's one of the most basic knots around, and you make it

Shouldn't it be a Noose Knot, instead of a Slip Knot — since the former will tighten under load?

 

[wafflenbutter]

Is using double rope a good idea?

Im in the situation where i cant order a good rope, and i have one that is something around 6-8 mm thick.

 

[Onelegman]

Hello everyone, I hope I don't break any rules... I like to write and explain things in the forums, forgive the long text. I'm Spanish and I use Google translate, so... also sorry for my vocabulary hahaha

I tried to commit suicide when I was 16 by jumping from a seventh floor terrace. I did it quickly and jumped straight, landing on my feet and losing my right leg. Shame and fear of failing again made me give up for a few years. At 27 I tried again, this time hanging from a radiator, partially as I just learned. In posture 3 of the drawing, practically sitting. (very wrongly) After spending a few minutes feeling like my head was going to explode and my self-preservation overpowered my desire, I backed out. The last one was less than a month ago, when I was 36 years old, with a bottle of nitrogen in the car, but something went wrong, the gas escaped through the hose (I don't understand how it didn't affect me equally) and I ended up passing out for 2 hours .

I'm reading Wataru Tsurumi's suicide manual and I'm wondering whether to hang myself completely or throw myself backwards from the same floor window. My biggest fear is failing again and looking so bad that I can't try again and also the agony of falling. I can confirm what the book states, that when jumping from more than 20 meters you do not feel pain when you hit the ground. On the first attempt I learned that I did not suffer any pain, I broke both legs and a hip, as well as a partial detachment of a kidney, but my body felt like it was asleep, tingling, I was conscious thinking, oh no, I failed! and I tried to move to get back up and jump again (in my delirium) but I noticed that I couldn't move anything except my hip a few centimeters.

I am looking for advice so that, on this occasion, I can achieve my goal. If possible, hanging completely, my fear is tremendous and I want it to be as quick and painless as possible, like with nitrogen, fainting and feeling nothing but peace.

I'm reading several threads about it but being Spanish and using the translation I notice that there are things that I miss. Things like the knot to use, the right height, etc. would help me. That time I used a thick electrical cord, but I've learned that it should be a thumb-thick rope so that it evenly squeezes the carotid and stuff.

I appreciate all the help, fellow sufferers. Thanks in advance.

My biggest question is: if I use a thick rope (the typical one from the movies) is it better than a nylon or climbing rope? It is narrower but will slide better and tighten better, or that is my observation. And more importantly, what knot do I use? You don't recommend the classic gallows and I'm not sure which one to use.

Once again, thank you for everything.

PD: In the rules it indicates that searches can be done, but I don't see the button to do them...
