I am using position of leaning forward while standing; because my sweet spot is under adams apple;I have trouble with crouching because noose affected by gravity and will raise; got very shaky hard for me to stand after convulsions.
full suspension of us while scaring pain xD
yes, likewise ... when will we morally surrender and be ready to the fullest hanging? q_q
Unfortunate... I dont have rope; only scarf, I dont think it will hold and it stretches, so it would just pull me to the ground; all i have is my door to hold my weight.
I know how you feel, instincts dont care about our emotions...
Kate spade and Anthony Bourdain did too. Kate spade did it with a scarf. Not sure how
It is absolutely dreadful
What happened to the OP. Did he/she ctb? Anyone know?
Yes I can't do it
that's weird, huh? if i continue to live, then I will experience pain, that the stage passed already ... but instincts think differently, why!?
may be worth changing position?
know exactly how you feel; feeling nothing but sadness; mearly floating by... perhaps the irony is feeling weak and because of that weakness cant be brave.
I can also relate with SI excuses; i feel like i constntly say things to postpone ctb.
Well, my situation in life is such that if I don't do it in a week, it will be too late.I've been trying for more than a month already, but I give up ... SI saddens.
Why will it be too late?
I also have severe cognitive impairment from being so severely depressed and anxious for so long and I'm not bragging but I used to be very sharp, ambitious, confident in my abilities at work. That's all flushed down the toilet now
because in a week they will have to return to their relatives. and there is no chance of a successful completion.
Similar sitution, best way for me to go is this week; people i live with are away; if dont get it now i will lose chance, or find another thing to hold weight that wouldnt makes noises.
wow that is me right now as well; family away for a few hours a day this week, today was my last day; i dont know what i will do now.
Well, as I noticed - the problem is to combine a sweet spot and a rope ....
Definitely. I'll see if I can find it and link it for you asap.
Edit: Here's the video:
It's Very Graphic Just To Warn You
This site has a lot of "good" videos, but be super cautious and DO NOT look at the comments. They're extremely racist and bigoted, and very hurtful.
Are you still trying rope; have you tried scarf again under adams apple? Not that Im saying rope wont work; just for comforts sake. Also, my last attmpt to almost passing out I was leaning forward standing and on my tippy toes facing upward putting pressure on my lower neck; and scard is thin, thin part on adams apple so i barely feeling it and thincker rolled under.
Not to sound influencing or try and change your choice; but perhaps alcohol could help if you can get some? I took 4 over the counter sleep aids and got close to passing out. It just took multiple attempt to get use to feeling of convulsion.
Perhaps. Honestly I'd have to get some Xanax too--who knows how--and pass out on my feet.
Apoligizes for late reply: I was standing up and I let go of all my weight with a scarf (body is straight and leaning) so it doesnt hurt I also may stand on my tippy toes as my sweet spot is under my adams apple instead of recommended above and under chin. Also not to sound lazy but if you care I had messages in this thread a few days ago I explain what I have been doing, I have changed some stuff up since them but it is pretty much the same only I dont crouch now but tippy toe stand to pull ligature lower and more pressure on lower part of neck. Also do you know where your sweet spot is? sorry for dragging this.
I think it's as high as possible. I feel my carotid close to the surface right under my jaw.
I guess you could use any of the last 3 then, unless you change mind for full of course; by the way can you feel fuzzy and warm/ tingles when pressing down? I personally couldnt do it with my hand I guess not enough weight. maybe if you cant you could try holding your heads weight down on a ligature safely. Edit: maybe it is weird to say safely at the end... lol I guess you would be practicing in private as well.I just thought this information is better off here now, because the original source has been taken down.

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...
