Partial hanging seems too easy. I passed out in about 5 to 7 seconds. My cheap tie broke on me though and I came to when I hit the closet floor. I cant remember thrashing about, maybe it was just my weight.
That was a week ago. Anyone else feel
a little brain damaged after failed attempt?
You asked if anyone else feels brain damaged. Are you feeling different after that? Or were you just curious if others had that happen?
It sounds like you compressed the carotid arteries really easily. Many people only compress the jugular veins.
Are you planning to make a true attempt any time soon? Please be positive you want to die. Practicing with a rope,belt, or even necktie secured to the structure is very risky. That's why you want to hold it with your hand somehow in such a way that if you pass out, you'll lose your grip. I do this in my basement. The ceiling beam is what I throw the rope over. I held it in my hand in case I passed out or triggered the vagus nerve response.
Please be absolutely sure that you want to die. Have you tried talking to anyone...Family,friends,or therapist?
Be very careful. If you ever attempt this and are "saved" ,you could become quadriplegic. Unless your family or power of attorney does you mercy,you could live paralyzed in HELL just like the guy in the UK. You want to have an hour from when you pass out to be extra safe(worse case 30 min). It should only take 8-15 min for the brain to die if you block the arteries correctly. But weird things happen.
I don't want you to die. But I also don't want you to suffer.
I wish you luck. I'm here if you need to talk at all.
