I've read a lot about hanging. I have my rope. I'm ready to go.
I don't want to end up like these guys though: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4413082/

Can anybody who has experience or knowledge about partial suspension give me some tips on how to not fail? What's the dumb mistakes people make?

Not using something strong enough to hold their weight. Doing it somewhere where they'll be found shortly afterwards.

Hmm okay. That makes sense. Or if the rope isn't strong enough...

I don't know what to say about survival instinct. It is what got me, came so blissfully close to passing out.... Hope your final exit helps you find the peace you are looking for.

Thank you... you said it was blissful? So there's no pain?

Damn, we just found each other on the site and now you're going :( I hope you find peace though if you do, and I'm hoping to leave soon too. I've tried partial in the past, but could never get it right. Might try again in the future though

Wow. I guess you've done partial suspension then. How did you do it if you don't mind my asking?
I've got my rope but I haven't found a place yet.

Never tried partial.. I stepped down a stepladder, was hanging few seconds, enough to not pass out, then up again...

Make sure you won't be found for at least an hour (though 30 minutes is what's said is needed, it's good to be cautious and allow more time.)

Make sure that whatever you use is strong enough, both noose and anchor point.

Your survival instinct will kick in while you are unconscious. You may wake up panicking, gasping for air and freeing yourself. Happened to me twice.

Agree with these friends I'm big ( not fat ) I thought putting my full weight down gradually would work I ended up snapping the rope it's a delicate or lucky circumstance and I did buy a decent rope

The point leading me to unconsciousness was not painful. After that, I don't know- survival instinct took over and I filled with panic and got up.

Hmm okay. But how'd you stop if you were unconscious

Well, leading to the unconscious. I didn't fall unconscious. I have by hyperventilation before, and didn't get that far. The points leading up...I could tell it was soon, survival instinct kicked in.
