Help Just to double check about partial hanging with a belt.

[Scribble Fan]

If I put one end through the buckle, stick my head in, then tie the loose end around a solid anchor, that's how you do it. Right? Does anybody have any experience with belt hanging? I've been thinking about duct taping the tied end to the anchor point, just so the knot doesn't think about coming loose.

I would use a rope but I'm a hikikomori NEET with no mode of transportation (or cash). I'm also not quite sure how to turn a scarf or a towel into a noose.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated as I don't want to be a veggie and I only have a couple hours to get everything right this Saturday. I'm sure an opportunity would arise in the future but I have a clear one and with only two days to prepare I'm kind of panicking.

That is very dodgy information, i'd test that a lot to make sure when you struggle the belt wont slide through from door, I can't imagine that setup holds out much. But like you said if using a solid anchor, then works.

Can also put little beanbags on your arteries under the belt so it takes the pressure off of your wind pipe, kind of a half night night method for more comfort. But otherwise as long as the belt and door hold it should work.

Yes, thank you delta! Very helpful actually.

I'll be sure to test this a few times by leaning on the belt instead of putting my head through it. I can vaguely recall other stories of people catching the bus this way but I'd rather be certain.

Thank you for the suggestion! Maybe I can fill some socks with frozen corn or something as I don't have any beanbags on hand at the moment.

Since I don't have little beanbags around I might try a couple of folded socks.

@Scribble Fan, please be gentle with yourself. If you have mixed feelings please don't rush into it. I've gotten fond of you so I hope you'll make the best possible decisions for yourself. (((Hugs)))

Couple issues with this

1) i've used a rather thick man's belt and tried the method of putting the belt of the door. it started to slip once I put my full body weight on it. Put the belt where the hinges of the door are is a much better position.
Everyone is different
2) I am skeptical of slowly lowering yourself as I find this method more uncomfortable then quickly dropping ypur weight. Again everyone is different

My two cents

Oh, I'm touched I'll be sure to think everything through before making any decisions.

Will you post if you try the socks? I too lack bean bags and am thinking of substituting if it proves effective
