Resource How to hang yourself

[Edpal247]

I'm thinking I will put a nice large screw-eye into a beam, then be on a tall chair I have. Kick chair - no going back.

 

[Edpal247]

Has anyone tried using a bathrobe-belt or necktie? Any thoughts on whether these would be good to use or not?

Bathrobe belt broke - damn!

Hey, you can find all the needed info about full suspension in this thread.

[bunintherug]

Anyone have any suggestions for a good spot to do a partial suspension hanging? I don't want to do it at home where someone I know would be the one to find me.

I'm going to hang a sheet infront of my bedroom door from the inside with a note to not come in and to call the police instead. at that point it's up to them,

 

[Edpal247]

I think I am all ready. Tested the setup by standing on the loop of rope - no issues. 34" chair. 9' ceiling. My feet will be foot off the ground. I'll pad the rope a little.
Thinking tomorrow morning. Wish me well..

Good day to all
I've read all about partial hanging, but I haven't been able to achieve a result.
As I understand it, it is necessary to bind the rope somewhere on 1/3 of the neck in order to block the blood flow, not breathing

When I tried it all on myself, it went dark in my eyes for just a couple of seconds, I thought I was already losing consciousness. But after a couple of seconds, everything was back to normal, and a second attempt no longer even causes darkening in the eyes.

Is it necessary, in addition to the pressure of the rope on the artery, to do additional actions? I came across a message that it is necessary to hyperventilate the lungs on my knees, then get up, tighten the loop and "tighten the abs, as if trying to exhale with your nose and mouth closed"

I don't want to bother with Sn in other ways, because in theory, partial hanging is not so much worse. However, I do not fully understand how this is done. I hope someone will explain)

I'm noticing a lot of people say this… that it gets "dark in the eyes" but for some reason I don't get the darkness at all when I practice with my hands. I DO However, get distorted hearing almost every time I do this, almost as if I were entering another dimension. I actually LOVE THE FEELING it gives me throughout my entire body when I let go! It's such a RUSH of endorphins that my whole body gets tingly and I feel sooooooo gooooooood for a couple minutes when I release my hands. I took me a very long time and research to find my carotid arteries, but once I FINALLY found them, I KNOW that partial will be my method without a doubt. Even though it took me some time to find my carotids, I don't think this method is for everyone because I'm noticing a LOT of people who can NEVER find their carotids. I believe suicide is a very personal experience for each individual. I don't believe there's a perfect method that works for everyone. I just know that finding my carotid arteries took literally MONTHS to find, practically multiple times each week. Once I FINALLY found them, I actually got excited at how EASY it was to find them again and again, almost always on the first try now. For whatever reason, I can't always do it back to back or my head just fills with pressure and I have to stop ASAP when that happens. The carotids do not cause that uncomfortable pressure AT ALL. I only get that awful feeling if I try too many times in a row. I can only try once every several hours it seems. This is just me though. I strongly believe that the method is VERY personal to the individual. Also, for me anyway, suicide is a process, not an impulse. I want to be at peace (unconscious) during the actual process while others want to feel the flames on their skin while they're going out. To each his own. lol

What position do you use? What kind of rope? Where do you place the node? Do you put anything on the carotid arteries or do you just use a rope?

What position do you use? What kind of rope? Where do you place the node? Do you put anything on the carotid arteries or do you just use a rope?

I've only been able to find them using my hands. I haven't gotten as far as using a rope yet. I'm just practicing losing consciousness FIRST with my hands. My next step will be a rope or belt, but I'm still just trying to get over the fear of simply losing consciousness. I saw a video and that did it for me! I'll try to find it and post it if I can. Basically, I take my left hand and using my thumb and first two fingers ONLY (not squeezing the entire neck, just the carotids ONLY) and use a V shape and gently squeeze in and up with my chin pushed slightly back first. Before I do this, I lay down while taking a deep breath then I suddenly sit up and do the neck thing with my hands. I get a HUGE RUSH all over my entire body when I release my carotids. I'm finally becoming hopeful. This is my personal method though. We all have different body types and for whatever reason, I finally learned how to find that "sweet spot", so this is my method that works for me, but it doesn't mean it necessarily works for everyone.

Darn SI - I can make myself get dizzy, then I stop. Really want to ctb, maybe I should do in morning when my mood is lowest.

Do you also have a survival instinct?
That is, it is not your desire to live and it is not your fear of death.
I mean, does your brain react to the fact that it has poor blood circulation and sends you strong irresistible signals to stop? Yes?

Are you trying full hanging or partial hanging?

Have you tried drinking benzodiazepines or alcohol, anything else?

Have you ever tried to hang yourself, have you tried?

I always have so many questions. I'm just constantly in complete despair. I'm in a cage

 

[anon12345]

Can I use the sleeves of a hooded jacket to partial hang? tya

Guide to partially suspended hanging:

Warning: Don't try this method unless you're totally sure that:
a) you want to kill yourself
b) that you won't be found for at least 30 minutes after you attempt.

This method is very lethal and quick (quick from your perspective
anyway, as you black out within seconds), but if you're found in time
and 'saved' you can end up with serious brain damage and/or be left a
vegetable.

Why partial suspension?
Because full suspension seems to me to be unnecessary and creates
difficulties. First of all you need to find a place which would hold
your entire weight, which isn't easy, and also you need a stronger
ligature, which isn't always easy to find either. There's nothing
wrong with full suspension, but it may not be a viable method for
everyone, especially if you're looking to use everyday materials from
around the home.

By partial suspension I mean that you hang yourself around the neck
(specifically the carotid artery), and push downwards while kneeling.
This should create enough downward pressure on the ligature to tighten
it and close the carotid artery and stop the blood flow to your brain.
All you need is 3 kilograms of pressure to do this, which isn't much
at all.

Also, with full suspension your entire body weight is pressurizing
your neck, and this would probably be more than enough to not only cut
off the blood supply to your brain, but break your neck as well. I'm
not too sure if that's a good or a bad thing. I do know though, that
statistically people who've attempted via hanging have more often been
found kneeling and partially suspended than being fully suspended.

Where is the carotid artery?
Before you start you have to know this. If you place your hand around
the middle of your neck, around your Adam's apple, with one thumb on
one side and all fingers on the other, you should feel a strong pulse
and heartbeat. If you close your hand now fairly firmly, you'll
probably make yourself pass out. It might be a good idea to try this
to make sure you've got the right spot.

What type of ligature?
You need a ligature that's strong, but not too elastic. It doesn't
have to be very long, 1 meter or more would be plenty. I'd advise
against nylon rope, string, fishing wire, etc.
Neckties on the other hand, are perfect Smile .

It may also be a good idea to lubricate the ligature with soap. This
would help the noose tighten even quicker, especially if you're using
a rough ligature such as a rope. Lubricating it in this way will
increase the friction once you push your head down and tighten the
noose, and could make it a little more effective and faster.

What type of knot?
A slipknot. It's one of the most basic knots around, and you make it
with one end of your ligature. The other end should go around your
hanging place.

Many people have the misguided idea that a hangman's knot should be
used, but they're wrong. A hangman's knot is for a completely
different purpose, and won't work for this method.

Where should I hang?
You should hang from a support which will hold part of your weight.

You should test this by tying the loose end of your ligature around
the support several times, sticking your hand (NOT your head) in the
noose and pushing down with it. If the noose holds, you're fine. If
not, then you'll have to find another spot.

A great and easy place to hang is from the thick horizontal metal bar
which you find in wardrobes in most homes.

When should I do it?
When no one else will be in the same area, for at least 30 minutes.
You lose consciousness within seconds but your body doesn't completely
die for around 15-20 minutes. The extra 10-15 minutes is for
preparation time and just in case.

How?

When you're completely ready, kneel down, stick your head in the
noose, position it around the carotid artery and push downwards with
your head.

Good luck...

Is a strong belt good as well?

 

[GoingHome11:11]

Sorry if this has already been asked, but if there aren't any strong bars or beams around the home, can this be done using a doorknob?

 

[swordforolives123]

I just tried partial using a silk necktie from the bar in my closet and I backed out cause I got scared but I'm excited too cause I finally got it right on my carotids. I think what was helping me that I saw other people maybe missing is that leaning forward into the knot wasn't working for me, instead I kneeled practically straight down the vertical pressure vs the horizontal pressure is what did it for me. but again I backed out cause I got scared. I think I could get away with it this late at night but I really don't want to be found before I'm dead so I'm waiting for the next time I'm home alone which should hopefully be tomorrow.

for position I was able to get close to passing out where I was kneeling like with my shins against the floors and my butt against my legs, all the way flat with the rest of my body straight up. will that be okay once I pass out? I don't want to become a vegetable or have to make myself pass out more than once to get this right.


my friends mean the world to me but thats the only thing keeping me here for now when I know I have no future after squandering every opportunity afforded to me. hopefully it'll be over soon.

side note? I don't love my parents and I don't have anything particular to say to them but should I still leave a note you think? I have texts set to auto send mid day on Sunday to my closest friends but nothing for my parents. I don't hate them I'm just very apathetic

Does anyone know if an extension cord or bedsheets can be used for full suspension? What worries me is thinking that they could snap. I am 120lbs

FWIW you don't weigh very much.

 

[swordforolives123]

just spent the whole 2.5h between my mom going to bed and my dad waking up trying to get this shit to work and I was so close twice but I pussied out god I feel pathetic

 

[SpaceAlien]

Please can somebody tell me what type of rope to use? How many mm should it be? I'm hearing 12mm or 14mm? I've also heard braided polypropylene rope is good for this but if you have a better suggestion or know more about this please let me know! Not sure if it matters or not but I probably weigh around 220 lbs.

I guess it is full hanging, and in this case the survival instict hinders you to step from the stool. This is at least my problem. When you hang you passed the point of no return and you outsmarted your survival instinct.

A good extension cord should work. Tie it to your support and grab it. See if it will hold your weight.

A rope at least as thick as your thumb should be strong and fairly comfortable.
Double braided dock line is great. Smooth and strong.

Sorry if this has already been asked, but if there aren't any strong bars or beams around the home, can this be done using a doorknob?

I heard a story of someone breaking their doorknob doing full suspension hanging. I recommend you look outside the house for anchor points. Observe your surroundings carefully, you'd be surprised how many valid anchor points are available outside. For example, you can use the handrail of a bridge or a tree.

Does anyone know if an extension cord or bedsheets can be used for full suspension? What worries me is thinking that they could snap. I am 120lbs

I don't recommend extension cords because they can snap when doing full suspension. Can't comment on bedsheets, but I recommend a rope regardless of how much or how little you weigh.

I see; that's what I initially assumed as well. Can anyone else confirm this?

I don't recommend neckties. They're known to rip apart when doing full suspension.

[holdmyhand]

Hi all! I hope I don't break any rules here.
Could anyone give me their thoughts on my
setup plan? (FSH) I have very limited access to anchor points inside my home, and I don't feel like hanging myself outside due to the fear of being caught.

For my setup I'm using a 10mm mountain climbing rope, I'm thinking of slipping one end over a door, tying it to a small 2kg hand weight using a snuggle hitch (this would keep the rope in place). Then on the other side of the door I'll make a slipknot noose right at the top of the door.
The door is 2m and I'm around 170cm, no more than 50kg for reference.

The idea is that I'll close the door, use a step stool to get my head through the noose and drop off.

I haven't brought the rope yet, since I'll only be buying it on the week that I plan to ctb. I feel like this would hold my weight though as I've basically tested the plan out with other ligature.

However, I'm worried if I could actually pull this off without something going wrong.

Could anyone give me some advice or their thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance! (Sorry for writing much)

 

[M4rii]

Hi. could an overweight person hang themselves in the wardrobe? or would it be better to look for another place?

 

[Worndown]

Whatever you choose needs to support your weight. Hold it with both hands, pick up your feet and wriggle around. That simulates the load during hanging.

 

[promapicide]

Snuggle hitch knot. Here is a quick guide with necessary info.

I appreciate the clear and simplified instructions, thank you. I am confused about where to position it, in your guide it says below the Adam's apple but I see a few comments on this thread saying above so I'm a little lost

If you're going for full suspension hanging, I recommend at the top of neck, where the hyoid bone is.

If you're going for partial suspension, then you can either place it at the top of the neck (most common position) or, if it's feasible to you, you can place it near the base of the neck (more comfortable, but not always practical).

Sounds like a decent plan. It reminds me of this other case (NSFW): https://goresee.com/w/d2aqLADFMmqXxBB7HP8BiY

Yeah, could work. You could use some door stoppers too, to make it more reliable.

How did you come up with this, by the way?

 

[H4t]

Hi... I'm considering this method after a failed first attempt with another method (helium with a drowning contingency, they both failed).

I guess I'm going to have to learn how to tie the rope to a tree securely, because I have no anchor points in my home, and want to avoid being discovered by the other person who lives here.

Any good suggestions how to secure a rope to a thick(ish) treebranch? I'm scoping out the perfect tree in the park, I have about 10 days before my personal deadline.
