what were the immediate and longterm effects?

I have some questions for you.

1) Where on the neck did you place the HDMI cord?

2) Can you reliably do this again and pass out? Have you tried to do that again?

3) Would you say you've found your "sweet spot"?

4) I heard someone talk about "gradually bending down", but I am not sure what is bending down. What can you tell us about that?

5) Did you actually lose consciousness? Can you confirm you did?

6) Do you remember whether you were breathing or not while hanging yourself? And if you were breathing, how loud was it?

Thank you

omg your like a celebrity i used your guide

1) As high up as it could go below my chin.

2) No I haven't tried again but I think I could it was surprisingly fast, I was out in around 3 seconds.

3) I would say so.

4) So I just sat down fast to get it over with, Id imagine that they took their time fully committing that's why they gradually bent down.

5) Yes I lost consciousness in around 3 seconds. All I remember is fully committing and feeling some discomfort in my neck and then it all going black and hearing people talking and music playing like I was at a shopping center. I also thought I was still up and moving around, but it was quite peaceful

6) I was not breathing and it wasn't particularly loud

what were the immediate and longterm effects

Before or after the attempt? But the long term effects after the attempt were severe muscle pains that I'm guessing are from myself locking up after loosing consciousness (I still find it difficult to move) and bruises to the neck

Thank you for your answer.

Do you remember if your airway was open, halfway open or shut?

What do you mean by "locking up"?

Did you write about this on Reddit 2 days ago? I recall very similar information here and remember a guy in the comments replied "come on guys don't turn this Reddit into SS".

I would say my airway was shut, and I mean locked up like I seized up when I was out, or the pain might of been a problem with blood flow? I do not know.

Where did you try doing it from? I'm struggling to find good places to hang myself from in my relatively suicide-proof dorm so just trying to get some ideas.
