currently experimenting/messing around with the rope around my neck. silly me was standing when my legs have out and i ate shit just last night by tightening it around the base of my neck, genuinely happened before i even realized it.
my question is for when i decide to commit to it, would drinking any alcohol before help? i thought it might help with si and whatnot. sorry if this is already answered i dont have the search feature yet

im trying partial with a bathrobe belt right now but i cant get a the head rush or the numbing that i would get if i were successfully hitting the carotids, but a high pressure feeling of what i think is caused by the juggulars being hit. i can block the carotids with my fingers and hands but i cant when i try an actual hanging. could it be my posture or what im using? i javent tied the knot super super tight but still tight enough where its fully taut around my neck when i push on it with my body, and im sitting down and kinda leaning into it. help would be very appreciated ❤️❤️❤️

Hello. I have a few questions. Firstly, what kind of knot should i use to attach the rope to my support? And just so I'm understanding the method properly, i need to first be on a stool and then jump off it and then push myself down into a kneeling position? I plan to ctb in the deep woods hopefully so does this mean I should bring along a stool with me? Thank you to anyone who answers.

Would this kind of rope work well for fsh? It's a Mooring rope that should be able to hold up to 2000 kilograms IMG 1935 IMG 1936

I don't see why it wouldn't. Any rope that can hold your weight should fit, as some even succeeded with an electric cable or so. Personally I kept my old climbing rope for the day I'll ctb, but any rope should fit. What's more important is what you attach your rope too and your weight. And your knot but there is dedicated thread for this.

Any advice for overcoming SI for psh? I can get it to hit the "sweet spot" easily enough, but right before I lose consciousness I cant follow through with it. :(

So I'm a fucking dumbass, I can't figure out the whole carteroid artery thing. Is my neck too thick for hanging? Also, I'm only 58kg (127 pounds), is that enough? Also also, I want to use a belt but can't really figure out how. It seems too short to use, does anyone have advice?

For those struggling with passing out with PSH (you're supposed to start losing consciousness within 5 seconds max) try exercising with your hands. Put them where the black line is (just above your Adam's apple) and exert pressure. KEEP APPLYING PRESSURE for up to 10 secs, if after that you don't feel faint, then try slightly higher or slightly lower View attachment 201233
Thank you

Weirdly enough, that helps. I was trying before with my hand a bit too high, like inserting my fingers slightly under the jaw trying to press on artery, and didn't feel a thing.
Wrapping like picture above gets me light headed almost instantly.

EDIT: Lol, I started doing that just for fun. My other hand's fingers start tingling, and I can feel ants and my head is light. I can do it anywhere, it's not illegal and it's free.

I reallyyyyy recommend you stop doing that :( Trust me on this you can get brain damage, possibly enough that you won't be able to CTB anymore

Edit: And I say this as someone that used to do it all the time. It's definitely taken a toll on me, don't let it take a toll on you too

For now I try to stop, but keep doing "just this one and then I'll stop". I should probably take it more seriously, but cigarettes don't work on me, I hate alcohol, don't have drugs, and for now I have this lol

i do this too much lol maybe like 10 times a day and if im alone i do it with the rope as well. ive only had like 4 real attempts where i tried for minutes for it to actually kill me but i havent succeeded yet. my left hand did twitch yesterday which was weird and now the back of my neck and my chest hurts and it hurts more when i breath. i guess you could risk a blood clot and an aneurysm so be careful <3

ive only began getting some mild symptoms after hanging/choking with a rope and my body weight for an extended period of time, but lingering headaches and mild disorientation is rather unpleasant
