I've been trying to get used to hanging for the past while and today I got the closest I've been to passing out! I just need one last pish of strength to fight against survival instinct and I'll hopefully be able to ctb.

To my understanding hanging was supposed to break your neck, not be used as suffocation but whatever works for you

Full hanging can break the neck, but partial hanging can be suffocation.

I envy those who have the courage to go through with this method, those who have left this world certainly are very fortunate. I wish you the best of luck.

Neither breaking the neck nor suffocation are the causes of death in full-suspension hanging (or partial suspension).
The cause of death is blocking the flow of blood to the brain by closing the arteries in the neck.
The person is actually able to breathe even when the noose tightens and prior to the loss of consciousness.
Breaking of the neck is only possible in public executions when the person hanged is falling down for 1-2 meters before the rope stretches.

What is your setup like, and how are you achieving this - kneeling, sitting down, etc? Curious as I'm trying to go via this method soon…

I have a belt as I cant get rope, a step step stool and a door. I place the belt so that when I stand on my toes Im fine, but when I let go of the pressure in my toes, my carotid arteries get compressed.

Good luck. Be careful. When I was in the ward there was a woman in a wheelchair with migraines because she tried to hang herself

I have a similar setup - rope instead of belt, but other than that basically the same. Just gotta get past the stupid survival instinct now.

The best hanging methods are not about suffocation. It's about blocking the two main arteries that bring and take blood from your head and brain. If these are cut off with a properly placed rope, you pass out within 5 to 15 seconds.
