I just feel like I don't have the intelligence to do it right. I can't trust myself, and there's too much risk involved. Once I go unconscious, I'm at the mercy of those 30 minute it takes to fully die with no chance of revival. Everything counts, the setup, the location, the ligature, your positioning, and you have to account for your body's thrashing.
Most successful hangings still aren't done properly and lead to a slow asphyxiation and longer time spent conscious, I've seen the videos and it looks miserable. I'd rather bleed apposed to slowly choke while awake because I couldn't hang the correct way. I don't know the outcome once I go unconscious.
Hear me out, I feel like at least with a knife, yes it's incredibly gory and painful. But if you know the right spots to target, you essentially have no chance of survival and go unconscious/die fast, assuming you didn't hesitate. If you can just take the pain and don't back out, it's a guaranteed ticket out.
And if you get a very high quality knife, it can tear into skin and muscle like paper, at least making it less painful than it could be if you used a dull blade. With the knife, even though it's painful, I feel like the difference is that with hanging I would pass out not knowing if I'll succeed, but the knife I will pass out knowing that I will die for sure as the window for survival is very low if you hit something important like the heart or carotid arteries. Even higher chance of death if you pull it out afterwards.
