Using a scarf to hang yourself?

[justwannadie]

I'm not decided on jumping or hanging yet, but I'm leaning towards jumping because I'm too terrified of being "saved" during hanging. If hanging was my only option, is a scarf good enough? 100% cotton or polyester? Which is stronger? I tested out one scarf by putting all of my weight on it for 2 minutes and it didn't tear. But I must've taken the tag off a while ago so I couldn't find out if it was cotton or polyester. I had to cut the scarf off because the knot had tightened too much and I didn't want to go through the trouble of undoing it before my parents come home, and I couldn't just leave a noose in the middle of the living room. So, opinions on cotton or polyester? I could buy a rope but I get so nervous walking into the store. I can't bring myself to place the rope on the checkout counter. So I really, really just want to use a scarf if I have to hang myself. Will it be enough to hold my weight? And what material?

It depends and what you weight. But usually it will work, although I´d prefer a rope to bring more pressure on the neck and cut off the blood flow to the head. But there are many woman that have died hanging from a scarf.

I'm not sure, I have heard of people using scarves, belts, etc. however if in doubt I would go for something stronger. Rope isn't expensive at all and is designed to withstand loads unlike clothing. I would be too scared of brain damage to go along with something that I wasn't sure if it was strong enough.
