Method What should hanging feel like?

[WhyAmIHereHonestly]

Hi, I've been testing a bit with partial hanging for a bit now, so, I've figured out an appropriate place to do it (Sitting against my door, belt tied at doorknob)
However, I want to know if I'm doing this right. During my most recent attempt, I was unsure of the knot position on my neck, nonetheless I held my breath, I felt a blackout, a weakness of sorts and my lips feeling weird, like a dry feeling.
Is this how it's supposed to feel? I managed to fail by standing up when I felt an overwhelming weakness (10 seconds in I guess?)

That sounds like exactly how it should feel. With me I was disassociated and no idea where I was during and 30 seconds afterwards.

I get dizziness unlike anything I've ever felt. I get stinging all over my body. Then my body springs up from some kind of SI and it takes a few seconds for me to remember what was happening

I'm planning on doing something similar in exactly a week, but I am worried about SI. How did you last before you got up do you think?

Well, this is like asking what being shot in the brainstem should feel like. The only people who know are gone. The only way to find out is to attempt.

15 seconds max before SI ruins it. Most attempts about 10 seconds

Sorry for late response, fair enough. I mean I do plan to try quite soon, but I haven't got a set date yet, I'm just waiting for a good chance when I'll be alone for quite a while.

Same. I've done some partials that seem to go well, no exploding head. Once the tingling starts I'm out. OTOH it doesn't really hurt, I'm just not committed to the attempt yet.
