So I tried to hang myself last night using an extendable dog lead. I clipped it back into itself using the bit that attached to a dog collar and made a slip knot. I then wrapped the handle part around a banister on my stairs and then slipped it over my head and just leaned back into it.

I was caught my my partner who untied me. This would have almost certainly worked if I wasn't interrupted.

So now today he's home and I've put myself in a very tricky situation where he now realises I genuinely want to CTB and it's not 'all talk'. I'm so annoyed with myself for being caught but it just goes to show you don't have to have fancy ropes and go to so much planning in order to pass from hanging. You just need to not be a damned idiot like me and get caught.

So angry at myself :hmph:

Sorry that you where rescued. Hope you have not too much pain at your neck now. And no it's not your fault. It's the fault of society that is not able to accept suicide as a normal thing.

It's pretty sore and have marks but I'll recover I'm sure. I've been in bed all day as I just can't face the world right now. Thanks for your kind message x

You have a partner who cares enough to stop you. Do you love each other? Do you have a good relationship? If I had that it would be enough to stop me.

Yes. I'm married. I love him which is why I want to CTB because I am sick of making people have to put up with my mental health problems. They don't deserve it.

I totally understand your reasons. But I think the big point are the mental health problems. Am I right?

Exactly. I have a good life on paper. But I can't live with all these mental issues anymore. It's too hard

But maybe for the next time. If you don't want to shock your husband hang yourself not at home

I wish people understood it's a horrible idea to save people from hanging or drowning. Unless they know for a fact it's been a very short time they are selfishly risking brain damage, and should just let the person die.

Im so sorry to hear you we interrupted. It' frustrating and invasive people feel a need to make the choice of life and death for others, and the aftermath of how they treat the people they "save" is awkward and uncomfortable.

If you still want to CTB lay low for a while, so they leave you alone about it.

Thank you so much. I was so stupid to even attempt while he was in the house. I was just in such a state. This is what happens when you don't follow a plan I guess.

It must be hard being here knowing you were that close. So sorry you're in such distress. Living is hard, I would gladly go right now if I could

i think ctb i never the best choice...I think my feelings to want to live will always be more great, dont matter how big my suffer is . the little whisper in my heart says there is more than we can see and to leave this life wont end the pain. ..
