It seems every other day members here ctb via SN while the hangers always report back that they're "doing something wrong." That's why I switched from hanging to SN. Not to mention you can just drink the SN and curl up on the couch or in a bed and pass out. With hanging you better have a strong anchor point that can hold your weight... one that other people don't have access to. The horror stories with hangers becoming vegies because they got saved while their brain was dying was enough to put me off altogether.

It's not exactly the same, the people who SN here go through a process of fasting, drugs and saying goodbye on here, and there are very few of them. People who hang can just find a rope and go, there isn't the same process to report(members here also know there is a lot of demand for case studies about SN and so have incentive to help out and contribute their experience with SN), so successful hangers would just disappear from the forum rather than necessarily having a goodbye thread.

This is why I'm planning to use compression instead, I can do it from the comfort of my chair and I don't need to worry about a rope or anchor breaking. The Five Last Acts talks about being able to use this method in a hospital or other confinement, and so there must not be the kind of thrashing around you do with hanging(probably because your wind pipe isn't cut off, just your arteries), which means a much lower chance of discovery. Being able to do it anywhere, instead of just locations with a sturdy enough anchor point also allows you to pick a secluded or easily barricaded place to prevent "rescue"

There is a massive number of people who have tried to hang themselves, and so even if it was 99% effective, there would be a ton of horror stories.
Just a few days ago, SN was my primary plan, but now I have concerns about whether there has been enough testing to know how painless and reliable it is on people.
