As a survivor of a hanging attempt, it's never worth it, once you're there and you're about to choke you will become a rat enslaved to your survivial instincts, nobody will come to help you and you're all alone, personally i realised i'd rather die a excruciating and slow death than die by hanging, when i was there i was just a rat enslaved to SI screaming for help, its not just about the fear of surviving, during a hanging attempt you are literally a trapped rat being tormented, you regret thinking about hanging and wish you were just in the comfort of your bed instead of being in that place, it's not worth it, the psychological torment of SI in these moments is worse than being burned or crucified to death and its even worse when you scream for help and realise you're all alone and nobody is going to save you, trust me, the psychological torment of SI in your final minutes is more intense and extreme than the cruelest medieval torture methods you can think of, I wouldn't recommend trying hanging, at least with other methods you won't die like a trapped rat being tormented till the end
@Dusk till dawn Thanks for sharing your story. Your story also shows humans are afraid of death Majority of humans fear death the evidence is all around us. Look at how hardened criminals who are sentenced to the death penalty fight till the end to avoid getting the needle. During the pandemic look at how people were terrified of getting infected with Covid19 even too the point of abusing members of public who failed to social distance. In the Pandemic severely disabled people in my country got public abuse and hate in Supermarkets for faling to socal distance. It was so bad supermarkets had to put signs telling people not to abuse disabled people who struggle with social distancing.
Look at how people who get told they have incurable cancer will spend so much money on expensive treatments and flying to other countries to try treatments to prolong thier life expectancy just a little longer.
With death we just don't know what exists on the other side that is what scares people. Humans fear death. When faced with death they will fight it.
That's a terrible story & should be heeded by all.
Its just not worth the risk of using certain methods of ctb.
@maniac116 Awww I just love your profile picture so much its so cute
they should release the poor soul
@lilah If that was my child I am demanding the hospital turn off the machine.
this is one of the scariest things to me, one of the things that always gets me panicking... I don't know if I'd call it SI, its more just like... Some methods are a gamble, a horrific gamble...
It makes me think of Pascal's Wager... To me, the ceasing of existence is a good. The continuing of existence is torturous, but finitely so. Some methods are a roll of the dice, a chance at 'heaven', ctb, and a chance at 'hell', a further crippled and torturous existence that will be infinitely worse than it already is. If I don't attempt, my pain is finite, even if great. I can attempt to ctb, and could possibly end up free, but there is always the chance of infinite loss... Of course, with SI and my situation, the most likely outcome is nothing or a finite loss, but still... It's terrifying...
@FieldsofLavender This is why there needs to be more public education on how dangerous it is to kill yourself and what suicide methods do to the body. The reason why I have never attempted suicide all these years is because of reading stories about people becoming permanently disabled if it goes wrong.
Too many people think suicide is easy because the media constantly publishes news stories of teenagers and adults being successful with suicide. Those people who were successful with suicide had a history of previous attempts and ended up finally being successful others were lucky to be in an environment where they could kill themselves privately without interference etc
Just proves healthcare system isn't about healthcare. Why would you bring someone back to be in that state? Just to further the abuse and bullying. Poor child. This world is full of demons.
@Asleepatlast That girl will never grow up to have a normal life and her parents will be looking after her in their old age. When her parents die she will have to go either into a special care home facility to be looked after or if she has any siblings they will have to look after for the rest of their lives.
Those bullies are already finding it hilarious the girl is permanently disabled. The fact they went into ICU to take pictures of her to upload on social media just shows the bullies are taking pleasure in her suffering. These bullies are pure evil.
This is about the brain damage that occurs during death.
You should pass out quickly. You are now done but not dead.
You are anbe to be revived with minimal damage within 5 minutes. 6 minutes has more damage.
10 minutes gets you laying in a bed forever. You will have enough damage that "you" no longer exist. Only a shell that looks like you.
All methods face this basic timeframe. When oxygen stops being delivered to the brain, the timer starts.
@Worndown Any pressure against the neck is dangerous the rescent court case in the news involving Daniel Penny reveals this.
What happened was a White American man who was a former US marine was on a train journey in New York. During the train journey a severely mentally ill black homeless man called Jordan Neely was shouting and threatening the passengers. Neely had a long history of harassing people for money, violating attacking members of the public and the system failed him in so many ways get help for his severe mental illness and drug addiction.
Penny put Neely in a chokehold to restrain him. He put him on a chokehold for 6 minutes which caused Neely to lose consciousness and then eventually die from brain injury.
A neurologist at Massachusetts General Hospital, explained that chokeholds and strangleholds could kill or cause brain injuries in two ways.
>They can compress the trachea, preventing the person from getting air into the lungs. And they can compress the carotid arteries, which are on either side of the neck, adjacent to the trachea. Seventy percent of the blood going to the brain passes through the carotids, Dr. Saadi said. If that blood flow is cut off in a chokehold or a stranglehold, some people can become unconscious in three to four seconds. If the flow continues to be restricted, a person can die within three to four minutes.
>If a person loses consciousness, that is an indication of possible injury to the brain.
>Even if the person does not lose consciousness, strokes and permanent brain damage, including cognitive impairment, can result from a chokehold.
expert warn when using chokeholds it must be applied for 10 seconds anything longer can give brain damage or cause death

Pressure against the neck leds to oxygen being cut off in the brain and this exposes a person to brain damage
