Question for people who attempted hanging. What was the 'consequences'?

[clown]

Okay so hanging is my number #1 method rn. I have been browsing for failed attempts to see what the experinece was like for the people who attempted and i have come across multiple people who said they damaged their eyes and arms when they attempted. For example on the old SS sub reddit i found a person who said their eyes felt like they were more pulled more into the face and maybe a little pulled up tooafter they attempted. And after a couple of months the right eye was pointing a little bit to the wrong direction away from the nose and the sight was maybe slightly worse in the right eye. And on the suicideproject site i saw a story abt a person who said their eyes where a red color for 2 months straight after a full suspension attempt. On the same site a person also said they had damaged their elbow somehow in a partial attempt. And on reddit multiple people said they couldn't speak for days after attempting and they said hurt to swallow and the throat made a weird noise when swallowing. And here on SS a saw a post abt a person who got tinnitus after attempting partial.

Did anyone here on SS have any of these problems after attempting either partial or full? Did you damage anything i didn't mention? If so what bodypart got damaged? Or did nothing at all get damaged after your attempt? Thank you for taking your time to read if you did read the whole thing!

Personally I can't ditch the idea that my auditory processing ability became worse after attempting partial a few times. I don't know how that may have happened, because I didn't pass out. But it's been on my mind. As you said it seems it's possible to get tinnitus doing it.

For full suspension I would expect possible severe damage if you survive. Look up "near hanging sequelae"

Thank you for your response. The damage hanging can do is some scary stuff for sure. May i ask if you went unconsious in your attempts?

No I couldn't.

 

[clown]

No I couldn't.

Okay. Well damn you can damage yourself pretty bad and you don't even have to be unconsious. Why is hanging such a good method but at the same time so risky?

 

[rs929]

I guess it's a good method if you know what you're doing. That was not my case
Honestly I think full suspension is very scary, and partial is too good to be true.
As for me, I don't browse the forum as often as before. There's light on the other side, but I often find it so overwhelming I need to go back to the darkness.

Full is indeed very scary. But im sometimes considering just going to the forrest, drink alcohol and hang myself from a tree with full suspension. Maybe ill do that if partial fails.

Well good to hear that youre not here as much anymore. Hope it get better for you.

I've tried partial a handful of times, but there is so much I don't know about the method. I read that other people passed out really soon and I'm yet to pass out once.

I guess I'm doing a lot wrong as I'm just using a necktie in the shower, but the base is up against a wall and not to high. Less ideal than something like a rope over a door or a coat rail I imagine, but every other spot would make too much noise. I also don't have enough space to put my legs out, which might be an issue.

With my latest attempt two days ago, the pain wasn't as bad as before, I just felt like nothing was being achieved aside from a little discomfort. I have no idea where the so called "sweet spot" is, but I'm probably doing so many other things wrong as well.

During the hanging I felt my eyes pulsing? And it felt like my vision would blur with my heart beat, also got a little bit of the head exploding feeling. After giving up I felt something in my throat and I ended up spitting a tiny bit of blood out. Surprisingly the pain was far less than my past 4 attempts, despite bleeding somehow. I doubt I got some kind of brain damage but I currently have a mild concussion (from a non suicide related incident) so my judgement ain't the best in regards to head pain. I have no issue talking or swallowing luckily.

Might try again later today.
Wish someone could show me the ropes on partial...

Being warded, sometimes I wake up at night because my blanket is under my chin and the feeling of it reminds me of hanging. Of course, there's the ever lingering disappointment that I'm alive. When I was hanging, I only remember counting to 7 and passing out. Maybe a sense of comfort that I can actually do it properly. No pain, just discomfort tbh.

I was practicing with partial and I deliberately tied a weak knot to my anchor point. I went unconscious quite quickly, in maybe 15 seconds, I was only chocked for 40 seconds,and regained consciousness after 1 min and 50 seconds, I filmed the event that's how I know. the knot slipped as intended. there was no damage except a headache concentrated on the left side, confused for an hour.

It is my opinion that us who try partial don't really want to die, what I'm trying to say is that we, deep inside are still indecisive, that's why we chose a method that you can recover quickly if you change your mind in the last second. Full suspension, once the footing is gone, that's it there is no turning back, if the rope and anchor point hold you are done.

When I try to do it for real I just freeze, in my tracks. Still scared of dying. And I hate myself everyday for this. I know that everyday I prolong it, I suffer more and more but something inside doesn't want to let me go.

I am sorry for your failed attempts. Interesting that you started spitting blood tho. Never heard abt that before. I am coniddring hanging myself from my door. Probably going to tie the rope around the door handle and throw the rope over the door. I just wonder if it really is possible for your legs to save you. Thats my biggest concern.
Idk how to put the rope To my sweet spot tho... But i have been able to find my sweet spot with my hands.

Sorry to hear about your failed attempt and im sorry that you wake up in the middle of the night cuz of your attempt.
Yes i have heard people say it doesn't hurt at all, only A little uncomfortable and i have seen people say it hurt like hell. Haven't attempted myself but i think it maybe depends on what rope you use. Its pretty interesting you managed to pass out in only 7 seconds tho.

You might have a good point. I chose partial instead of full cuz it is easier for me to do but at the same time i also chose it cuz it is easier to back out of. I haven't attempted hanging yet But i can imagine i would freeze too.
Really impressive you filmed your attempt. Must be interesting to watch it afterwards. When you tied a weak knot on purpose did you feel atleast a little worried about the know holding together long enough to damage your body?

I didn't think about damage to my body, better said I forgot about that, and it was good I did, I wanted to see how fast I'm going to go unconscious and how much I will struggle once I'm out. I tested it a few times to make sure it will release. And because I knew it will release I had the courage to put all my weight into it.

I have tried hanging and used to wrap cord tight around my neck till I pass out on bed years ago. I believe its the reason why it strains my throat having a long conversation and that my voice being weird.

I'm just as confused with the bleeding to be honest. It doesn't make sense to me and the lack of an injury aside from a bit of blood isn't something I understand. Something had to be pushed around or torn in there right? It happened again today, just a little bit more blood, still no notable neck issues afterwards. Wondering if to much pressure is possible and maybe the necktie to low and that somehow caused bleeding? I feel like I made a pretty good slip knot at least.

If there are people around you when you spasm, you may alert those near you with the sound, especially as you hit yourself against a door, which will probably make more sound than a standard wall. I feel like that's how peoples legs save them from what I imagine. I feel like when kneeling, it would hard for my body to subconsciously help itself in a useful manner.

Hope your attempts work unlike mine.

Damn, I so jealous you lost consciousness, that quick, still yet to happen for me. I kinda like partial because you can back out, as much as I want to die. I feel like if I mess up a partial attempt I can try again and or walk away without much injury, while if I mess up a full suspension, I can end up much worse than I currently am, but still be alive. Full suspension is terrifying because of the fear of living but breaking my neck and paralyzing myself is much greater in my mind. I definitely know how you feel about the fear of dying. Except it's more a fear of living with a new injury, or at least that's what I tell myself

Fuck. Sorry about that. Seems like hanging can cause much more damage to the throat than i ever imagined...

confusing. Probably not something very dangerous if you have no other notable neck issues.

Ill have to time my attempt very well. Need to wait until im home alone which rarely happends... But if no one is home, no one can hear me spasm. Its just that ive heard abt people claiming they woke up standing from a partial attempt. Idk if it is possible but Id like to be on the safe side. Probably going to tie my legs or something to prevent them from moving too much.

 

[Chiisai]

Fuck. Sorry about that. Seems like hanging can cause much more udamage to the throat than it, ever imagined...

Oh no worries not your fault. Well, I never got to pass out from partial hanging even before I got to know it was called that and since I never got to pass out, I kept trying consecutively until I spit blood so that may be the cause.

I guess this is what happened to me, but I didn't go as hard as you did. Do you know if you did anything wrong? I'm questioning my own hangings and would like info. Or are our necks just incompatible.

It's unheard of breaking your neck in full suspension. The neck break requires a large drop to achieve..but you can break your hyoid bone and half of people do. The biggest thing is being found early when your brain has been deprived of oxygen but not yet fully dead. That's why they say you need a minimum of 30 minutes alone. But i woulsd be cautious and make that an hour.

fck... imagine failed attempt and losing voice cuz of it. life always can be even worse than it is now. its a joke of existence.

I don't think hanging is a very good method at all. It's just cheap and easily available.

It depends what you mean by good. In terms of lethality it's the most lethal behind gunshot to the head. In terms of peacefulness, no it's not good.

I dont really know but I guess it must be because I have a muscular/lean neck or that the veins are somehow protected by the muscles thats why its hard for me to pass out.

i agree 100%

you started to spit blood too? didn't hear about spitting blood before but it is apparently possible.

you might have a point. but the success rate is very high and it seems to work for many people.

you mentioned you didn't find your sweet spot yet. maybe try to find it with your hands?

 

[Chiisai]

Yes. If being throat-chopped would cause someone to cough blood, surely would be the same with having pressure plus friction over the neck.
