Why hanging over SN

[a.n.kirillov]

Why do you choose hanging over SN? I for once can't imagine hanging myself but can very well see myself drinking poison, it seems easier to me since taking the stuff doesn't hurt, isn't violent and once you've taken it you just have to relax into it. It's like getting on a rollercoaster; getting on isn't scary or painful, and once your seatbelt has closed, there's no turning back. It's a mental trick I learned as a child, a sort of denial beforehand to get over the point of no return and then dealing with it in the moment.

Seen that way, poisoning is a rather passive act, while hanging is a very active way of ctbing, for which I simply don't seem to have enough courage.

Would like replies from people who prefer hanging as their method and the reasons for it.

Thanks

It takes less time than SN, and doesn't need other additional substances such as antiemetic or antiacid. Also if it's done correctly, there's very little or no pain, based on what I heard.

Also if you botch up hanging, that can lead to long term mental/health issues. SN doesn't seem to have a lasting effect if u F it up

Well, getting SN is the easy part, getting the other required items is more difficult.
For example, I managed to get SN but I can't get antiemetics where I live (New Zealand) as border security is very strict and I would probably get caught if I tried to order antiemetics online. I can't lie to get a prescription or lie to a pharmacist because I am not good at lying and I don't like doing it.

Also, full suspension is basically 100% reliable if the rope and what it is attached to don't break (and no one intervenes). But you are right that it a scary thing to do which is why I am having trouble bringing myself to do it.

I'm sorry to disagree but i feel NOTHING is 100% guaranteed/reliable. While i never witnessed anything i have read about the SI taking over and people have not actually exited.
And yes it also depends on the ligature not breaking or the point it's attached to fails.. etc etc

hanging isn't my method, but what I perceive to be a disadvantage with SN and other substances is that there's a period of time between ingestion and death, however small. how do you know when there's no going back that you'll be in a peaceful mind frame and not terrified like you would be the same as if you'd just jumped from a high-rise

i'd prefer a method that puts you in control of your fate at least until loss of consciousness, then death after that.

Well for one, with N there really isn't that much time to be terrified since it will sedate you before you fall asleep. Also it will make you euphoric and relax you. I can't imagine you'd panic for long, maybe 30 seconds to a minute.

Only reason why I'm leaning towards hanging is because of these reasons.

1. SN is becoming hard to get and anti meds are also a challenge.
2. I live with others so I am never home alone. The people in the house are nosy and will question everything they do not know boundaries.
3. Hanging is straight forward enough. Find a rope that can hold your weight. Find a fixed point and execute your plan.
5. There are many videos of people hanging they pass out under 15 seconds. Most without a struggle.

But most importantly. If I lived home alone I would choose SN. But because of my situation, SN is not really an option. Though if I ever move out it can be.

I hope you can see why I choose hanging over SN.

I'd disagree. If you have a solid beam, solid rope and tie a solid knot (which you can learn in a day) and maybe even tie your hands like David Foster Wallace did iirc, you should be garantueed an exit.

good point, maybe if you've seen enough people for whom it was relatively peaceful it takes away the fear. I haven't done that yet because hanging was out of the question from the beginning.

And which method of hanging are you referring too? I didn't see the OP mentioning one.
I've already stated my opinion on the topic and it still will not change. Nothing is 100% fool proof. Read my previous posts on this thread as to why.

woa

well that's the holy grail of methods anyway, i was talking more about SN and possibly tricyclics

I believe you're thinking of N, not SN. It's easy to miss yourself with SN, and it can very well be painful.

 

[Notabadguy]

There are accounts of failed attempts with SN. And if that happens, there could be sequelae. I don't know why some pepole want to present SN as a reliable method. The fact is that it is not (7/10 in PPH), and there is the chance of sequela if you miss.

That said, hanging is too violent for me. I want some drug.

 

[zeroambition]

I prefer partial hanging as my method because I pass out within 15 seconds and I can't get antiemetics online because of customs and I can't go to my doctor to get a prescription by myself because of social anxiety.

 

[TimeToBiteTheDust]

I prefer SN to hanging. You can't end vegetable if found.

 

[DaFloof]

SN poisoning is also readily diagnosed and treated, so should one change their mind after ingestion, a call to authorities is highly likely to result in very few physical after-effects. Sure, one would end up being made to suffer a brief involuntary commitment to psych therapy, but physically, with treatment, you can and will survive SN poisoning if you change your mind.

 

[R_N]

Too lazy to get sn and everything I need. Hanging is simple.

im not quite sold on this method i dont think

Well for me the issue is I just couldn't hang myself in a million years. The psych ward prospect is one of the biggest downsides, I agree.

Maybe we can come up with a very good way to make it look like an accident?

Maybe start acquiring the ingredients for making sausages and claiming you got the ingredients mixed up? Maybe mixing up sodium chloride and sodium nitrite?

And then actually producing such a salami and eating a piece of (normal) salami after the SN in case they pump your stomach which would make it even more believable.

Then if they want to commit you you can tell them to go look at the salami with too much nitrite in it, analyze it in a lab or something I dunno
.

Maybe this will even become the new method, salamicide
