To those who want to ctb by hanging

[telekon]

tested the anchor, haven't learned knots, but did wrap the blanket around my neck and noticed drowsiness so i feel sufficient that if i hang myself using full suspension I should pass out.

we can never know what gave that person the final kick however i do see a lot of people hanging themselves in response to relationships. mine is more financially based but also relationships and loneliness. the reason i haven't is because i hope it can get better because my life only started to become a nightmare ~6 months ago. things were relatively good before then. also the blanket is not long enough.

I recently (a few minutes ago) tried hanging, I couldn't bring myself to step off, I don't know why, it felt like some sort of reason rushed to my brain. And probably the fear of failure. I used a slipknot. Honestly, figuring it out and being 70% sure it would succeed was easy. actually doing it requires a lot of courage that my brain couldn't muster.

I've been in this situation... so many times that it grew frustrating, unnerving, and made things even worse. I had carefully read and researched what I needed to do, had the right materials, had gone to the place where I was going to die, and things just didn't happen.

No, it wouldn't. Choking on something is very different from hanging, and the two cannot be compared.

First, in hanging you pass out quickly by restricted blood flow to the brain. It's quick and relatively painless apart from the pressure felt on your neck. In contrast, choking on something and suffocation would take minutes even in an ideal scenario, and it'd be a horrific, painful experience.

Second, hanging is reliable and highly lethal. Once you pass out, gravity does its job and you can't do anything about it. Death is pretty much guaranteed unless someone finds you. In contrast, choking would be unreliable and you'd have no control over the outcome or what you'll go through.

I think it's a kind of misconception that you lose consciousness from hanging, even here no one was able to lose consciousness from hanging. People do struggle, heart pumps adrenaline, stomach hurt and you start to gag, intestines contract, blood accumulate in head with throbbing headache. It takes quite a while before losing consciousness

Dude, there are books and research papers written about it. It's not a misconception. It's the other way around. The misconception is that it takes a long time to pass out during hanging and that it happens because of suffocation.

I was talking about full suspension. People struggle with partial, but it's impossible to verify what these people are doing. If someone doesn't apply enough pressure, it won't work. When I try to pull on the rope manually or I'm too careful, it doesn't work. But when I put the rope over something so it can slide freely, hold the other end in my hand, and lower myself without holding back, it works without fail every time.

There are also reports of people who have a lethal and reliable method at hand, everything ready, but they can't go through with it due to SI. They can't jump, can't pull the trigger, can't drink the substance, or can't step off their support with full suspension. Doing what it takes to kill oneself is hard. It's perfectly logical and expected that people can't apply enough pressure to pass out with partial suspension. Partial hanging is unreliable. Full suspension isn't.

Every method is unreliable if done incorrectly. Taking SN without antiemetics will most likely fail, yet people still do that. So, is SN as a method a misconception too? Jumping from a low height will most likely fail. So, is dying from jumping a misconception too? The difference is that partial hanging is risk-free, so people play around with it, then come here to complain. They can't do it right, and are unwilling to do full suspension because they're afraid of the pain or whatever, but this doesn't mean that passing out quickly by full suspension hanging (or by partial if enough pressure is applied) is a misconception. The method isn't the problem, and it does work.

What's your plan, anyway? Choking on a grape as a method of suicide? I can't take you seriously.

I agree with everything you wrote.

I've seen multiple videos of people succeeding with partial and going unconscious in about 10 seconds.

I've also watched videos of people speaking about their loved ones hanging themselves in the closet.

I've watched a report about an inmate how he hung himself by kneeling.

All these prove that partial work 100%

When people here say it doesn't work, it really doesn't mean anything, cus it could have been the case that they didn't apply enough pressure, or that SI took over and they aborted the attempt.

I said this before and I'll say it again, it's more about SI than it's about the method. There are many here with access to SN, guns, inert gases, and yet they're still struggling to CTB cus of SI.

If one can somehow lower their SI to near zero level, they wouldn't care much about the method really.

Do you know any advices how I can overcome this terrible SI And finally free myself from all my sadness, emptiness and suffering? I think I'll have one drink before I hang myself fully. Do you think that will work? I don't want to make myself drunk because then its too risky that I could do something wrong. but is there maybe something else I could do? Some mentioned that they wrote a list about all their reasons do it.

How could someone lower the si, do you have any advice?

Unfortunately I believe you are spot on here. I am currently trying out partial and trying to find the correct set up. And yes, I believe I come here to vent (complain) or however you want to look at it. But I also come here to look for answers and find out how others are successful. It also helps that I am not alone and there are understanding people

I've been in this situation... so many times that it grew frustrating, unnerving, and made things even worse. I had carefully read and researched what I needed to do, had the right materials, had gone to the place where I was going to die, and things just didn't happen.

I am going through this too

Would you mind sharing the videos in pm ?

Could you make a drawing of what that would look like ? I don't get how you hang yourself while holding the rope in your hand smh

How to overcome SI? If I knew the answer, I wouldn't be able to tell you. I stole this from someone. Might have been @Gustav Hartmann who said it, I'm not sure. The point is that people talk, but no one who's alive really knows, because if they actually knew, they'd be dead already.

Writing down a list of reasons is a good idea, and it's something I've done myself. I made a post about it a while back.

I'm not sure if alcohol is a good idea. I plan to do it sober. Partly out of principle, and partly because alcohol increases the chance of making a mistake. But if I'm unable to go through with it, I might try taking a couple of shots on my second try. I agree that doing it fully drunk is risky, and I wouldn't do that either.

There is research (1, 2) that shows that about 30-35% of suicide victims have a positive blood alcohol level at the time of death. Percentage rates vary, depending on method used and some other factors. So a lot of people do it sober.

Other than that, just the usual stuff. My plan is to be fully prepared, practice everything, and do 'trial runs' to familiarise myself with the steps and the process. At the time of my actual attempt I should be able to go through the motions mechanically. My plan is to simply not think and shut out any thoughts. That's my 'method'. I believe we can't reason ourselves into doing it. There isn't a state of mind where we can be at peace with it and where it becomes easy or even doable. My solution will be to not think and just do it.

I also want to be well rested. When we're tired, it's difficult to do anything or make hard decisions, and our willpower is low. I'll have nothing planned for the last day, just rest, and maybe some very simple activities to pass the time, like listening to music or watch something. No decisions, no thinking, no major tasks for the last day – those should have already been done by then. I'll just relax, do nothing, and go through the plan.

I wanted to ask did you already test your anchor point, learned the knots, tested if you can compress the carotids perfectly? If so then may I also ask what stops you from committing suicide?

For my part: I already did all these things, so in other words I'm totally ready to die but its kinda weird to be honest. I mean every new day has so many new reasons why my suicide would be the best thing i could do and all the pain I endure actually numbs the si in that moment but then when out of anger I put the noose on my neck and compress the carotids fear, anxiety, si it all starts to occupy my mind doesn't matter how extremely I suffered just minutes ago. Then theres the option with alcohol. When I drink sometimes I start to automatically think about my past and I get very sad and angry because many things could have happened differently if circumstances were others. At that point I feel that I could do the suicde by full hanging.

I really sometimes wonder what gave the final kick for people to commit suicide. Was it a dispute with family/friends? Maybe the separation from partner? Was it financial issues? Was it total loneliness on a Christmas evening while he/she knew that everyone is with their loved ones and that person is sitting alone in the darkness of his apartment watching some random stuff on tv?

I wish I knew what it is to trigger myself and finally die because I hate it here. I'm trapped at home and I am un able to have an independent fulfilling life. The more I wait the more humiliating it all will get. Now I'm 26 but in 4 years I'll be 30. I don't want to live with my parents, depending on their money, jobless, without friends , without a social life and all that because of stupid mistakes done by my family when i was a little kid . Mistakes which led to mentall illness, to loneliness, to not belonging anywhere and so forth and so on. :(

I have planned everything but I haven't practiced anything yet. Let me tell you why. In my previous attempts, I was so sentimental. I would overthink how it would feel to die, what's going to happen, how my family would feel. Come the day, I would get everything together, panic, and then abort and feel like shit. This time, I have just been planning everything and working out nooks and crannies because it makes me feel less anxious about hanging (might be different for you) but I haven't thought about anything else or practiced anything else because I know that once I try putting a rope around my neck I will start to panic and abort again. I heard this from another member but you just need momentum. don't think. I know it's hard but it's really what will give you the most peace.
