Are they any resources that discuss suffocation as an effective suicide method. Like how to do it successfully?

I don't think many people would choose to suffer that much. It will make you panic.

It's not a good way to go - hypercapnic alarm response or whatever it's called.

Damn near impossible unless you've engineered some James Bond villain-level setup to restrain yourself, and even then, why? I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

Thanks for the advice. I just can't get the hang of partial hanging. I had no idea of how painful suffocation was... i thought it was painless if you combined it with benzo's.

Technically inert gas with exit bag is suffocation (asphyxiation) and IMO the only way it's painless.

There is a YouTube original documentary (see below) that analyzed what is the "scariest thing" --- and it's conclusion was that exposure to too much CO2 (carbon dioxide) --- as one would experience suffocating with e.g., a plastic bag --- was the "scariest thing" --- in that it uniformly caused the most physiological destress/panic.

Not sure I completely agree with the methodology in coming to that conclusion... but still likely a very bad way to go.

Inert gas method as @Thanatonaut says is suffocation, but it continually purges all the CO2 away so it doesn't build-up. The body can't detect lack of oxygen in the air, but it definitely has an adverse reaction to too much CO2.
