Suffocation in a bag didn't actually feel too bad!

[SomewhatLoved]

Last night I put a bag over my head and kept breathing for a while, and I eventually just got the instinct to breathe really deeply and quickly and started feeling lightheaded. Didn't really feel panicked or anything

On my first "test" there wasn't much air in the bag, so I wasn't really able to breath because the bag would just suck to my face because of a lack of air. I found this to be distressing, so on my second test I let more air enter the bag.

It had the same effect, of me becoming lightheaded and having the instinct to breath rapidly. But I felt that as long as I was able to do the physical act of breathing, it wasn't very distressing.

Has anyone else experienced this? Sort of now thinking that I could just duct tape a bag around my neck so that it doesn't fall off and sit somewhere isolated and scenic listening to music until I fall asleep.

The carbon dioxide must not have built up in your blood yet. When it does you'll really feel it.

This is when a supplement can help. An unhealthy dose of sleeping pills will help you doze off into eternity.

I'm curious if hyperventilating beforehand would overcome that. You could blow off all the resting CO2 in your blood, and your blood oxygen would drop low enough to pass out before the hypercapnic alarm activates

Sounds like a good way to wake up having ripped it up/off in your unconscious.

I feel something like this would hurt depending on the person and their preparedness. As mentioned before, this should be a painful way to go, but I've had some dumbass attempts (Okay to give context, one attempt and numerous practice runs. The pain in question is strangulation.)where the pain was extremely bearable and I found I'd be used to it once I counted to 10. Other times I found the same experience to be excruciating. I wouldn't say it's painless it very well could have been okay for you in that moment.

It seems risky.

I am thinking about doing this too with sleeping pills and tape but I am scared the bag won't be airtight

What type of pills do you plan on taking? Like benadryl or prescription sleeping pills?

 

[sanitystruggle]

Even prescription sleeping meds won't be strong enough to overcome the feeling of asphyxiation. You'd need something that produces an anaesthetic level of unconsciousness like a GHB overdose or a barbiturate coma. It's going to be difficult to arrange everything so that you're still capable of fixing the bag while being out of it enough that SI doesn't kick in. This is how the Heaven's Gate cult members went but they had help to put the bag on after losing consciousness.

Did you have to tie your hand?
