I'm trying the partial hanging but brain popping sensation is occurring to me like blood vessels popping . I've located my catroid arteries they are above my adam apple right below the jaw. No matter mow much time passes it doesn't work , if i keep more pressure brain is popping. I'm trying this with a shoe lace . Please help me figure this out.

Could be several things:
-the lace was positioned too high or too low
-ligature is too thin
-no padding

Or all of these combined. Because once I focused on all three of those, all the pain disappeared. Just like you, I used to get the exploding head feeling. My setup is: thin scarf plus folded socks plus ligature (mine is way too thin) folded so there's multiple rows.

Whatd you use scarf for
Partial hanging or strangulation?
I guess we have to first try strangulation without hanging to check of we are going unconscious or not , should i change my shoe lace? Ima add socks tommorow

The scarf is to protect the skin from rashes. Not needed, but I prefer it for comfort.
Partial. Strangulation is agonizing, partial is not.
Please don't rush into anything. I'm in hurry to leave too, but it would make things even worse.

Have you checked the pinned resource compilation thread yet? Just scroll up on page one of this discussion page. It's important to understand the how and the why before you do anything. I'm saying this because I hurt myself with my past lack of knowledge. And lessening discomfort makes the SI much more quiet.

If you have any questions, you can ask us. It's a bit tricky to understand at first, but once you get it right, it's so rewarding.

Yes I've checked all the resources, yee iam not in a hurry thats why i stopped when i get brain exploding type, cause in resources they said stop if that happens. I'm thinking to try sodium nitrite method but i don't know where to buy it , you have any idea on how to get this sodium nitrite. Sodium nitrate is available in amazon but not nitrite.

I get it. It really is difficult. I'll try to summarize it briefly:
-you need to hit the carotids just right. Some report it to be low on their neck, others in the middle, the rest high up as you said
-you need to let your body weight and gravity do the work. Sitting in the air like an L shape does the trick
-you can safely test by not tying the ligature to an anchor, but holding it in your hand instead. Readjust the position until you feel faint. That's how you know you got it right
-blocking the carotids prevents bloodflow towards the brain, exploding head feeling does the opposite: causing blood leaving the brain to remain trapped
-practice, practice some more (safely with the rope in your hand)
-there's also videos of people doing it, if you can stomach watching it

Regarding sn: all regular ways to obtain it have been abolished ages ago. :/ The only way to find a source is to use a browser like duckduckgo and type all keywords you can think of, including things like name of product, shipping, amount of grams. You could still get scammed, though. That's all I know and all I'm allowed to say anyway, sadly.

If only we could have it easier. I hope you'll find something that works for you.

Yee I'm gonna practice today with the rope and socks, I've watched those video, they all died peacefully, I'm surprised.
If there's any other easy way like the SN do tell me which is easily accessible to.

Is there a risk of getting up while sitting like this after losing consciousness?
I assume it'd be harder than if you're kneeling but... I'm still kinda worried about that possibility as it'd lead to failure 🫤

If you somehow did, I imagine that you'd just fall back down again since you're unconscious?

I would hope so... I'm scared that if the blood flow is not cut off anymore, my still unconscious body will just be able to get up and the attempt will fail (with possible brain damage as well) 😕 I guess I'm worrying over nothing

I totally get it…. From what I understand, you're only at risk of standing up while you're conscious, and that the thing that *can* happen while you're unconscious is your body spazzing out, which is why it's so important for your ligature and the thing it's tied to be so strong. But you of course won't be aware of that happening.

If it's a real source, then congrats! I have ZERO knowledge beyond that though, so PLEASE make a separate thread asking people who have actual experience with this. There's still so much that could go wrong, so don't celebrate yet.

Seriously, it could be a scam, wrong kind of substance (sn isn't always sn), etc. Double check first!!

Some have reported exactly that, yeah. :/ Seems to be uncommon, though? The videos I watched had minimal movements. There's also the option to tie your legs together or to furniture, but ONLY if you're absolutely certain your setup works. Something going wrong while still conscious and unable to free yourself is horrible. Almost had that experience with fsh.

I've been thinking of full suspension more and more, to avoid the possibility of getting up from the leaning position. But yeah, I'm also scared of messing it up and being stuck in that position - suffering a lot before passing or worse, failing and getting cognitive or physical impairment from it... In that regard, fsh seems much less forgiving.
I'm sorry you had that experience with fsh. I'm glad you managed to free yourself out of that situation... We all deserve a peaceful exit 🫂

I saw a few videos of how it is when you do fsh and are conscious, and it still seems to be relatively quick

My main concern is the pain involved. I held the rope over my head once and it hurt a lot. For the next 3 days it continued to hurt. I have arthritis in my neck so I want to make sure it is one and done for me because if back out due to pain i will be even more miserable than i am now. Any advice on how to make it more comfortable would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Agreed, it's a peaceful and quick method if done right.

Thanks for the kind words. I have to add, fsh was a spontaneous attempt. I had zero knowledge on that. So I had to free myself from a really dumb position lol.

I hope you don't worry too much, because hanging is one of the most humane methods. As long as you do your research, you'll be fine. <3

Padding is a game changer! I don't know anything about arthritis, but when I started with psh, the pain was unbearable for me. I now use two pairs of thin folded socks, placing them under the rope on my carotids. As a bottom layer, to prevent rashes, I use a very thin scarf. I hope that helps.
