Partial hanging practice

[average-joe4]

Has anyone had to practice hanging to finally get the nerve to fully go through with it? I'm at the end of my rope, but I'm hoping I can go through with it if I keep practicing

Have you gotten to the stage where you feel you are able to pass out if you hold on for longer?

I practiced. I experimented with attaching a rope to some weights and throwing them over the back of a couch. I couldn't get that to work for me. I also did partial hanging with a belt in my door frame. That worked well. I practiced daily for a bit over a week. My last practice attempt was almost accidentally successful, but the belt wasn't properly secured and came loose when I blacked out and my full weight was on it. Some other people seem to have trouble with it, so I guess it's different for everyone. It was almost too easy for me though. I will say that when you start to practice, make sure you're actually ready to go, just in case.

I can't go longer than 5 seconds without just freaking out from the discomfort/tingling/vision dimming :( it depresses the fuck out of me then my life gets worse, faster.

It's that yellow, plastic feeling rope. I think it's polypropylene? I couldn't tell you if the rope was the problem, or if it was something I was doing wrong.

What type of belt did you use?

Just a regular leather belt.

Then this might not be the method for you.
