Does my partial setup look likely to work?

[Walilamdzi]

This is as far as I've got, does it look likely to work to you?

 

[Painless_end]

I tried it just now mine was simpler. Just a long piece of soft cloth tied to a horizontal metal rod in my bathroom.

I just coudn't get the knots right and when I finally did and put my head through the knot all I experienced was some pain and discomfort which didn't make me feel like I was anywhere close to passing out, let alone CTB.

Are you attempting standing leaning forward method?

Are you attempting standing leaning forward method?

Yes

 

[Walilamdzi]

Yes

That sounds frustrating, I have had similar disappointments to you too. My setup isn't too complicated, it's a pull up bar then just a couple of pieces of rope attached and a scarf padding the lower one, I clipped around my neck with the carabiner. I think I was coming close last time I tried this but the sense of panic and finality made me unclip myself.

I had hoped to have a painless unconsciousness and then oblivion.

But no matter how much I adjust the loop around my neck to align with carotid artery as specified in hanging guide, it only causes discomfort and confusion.

I feel like I am waiting for something to happen and I'm doing it painfully so it feels pointless and I end up removing the knot.

I stood for a while and at first felt like nothing had happened but then it seemed I'd gone a few seconds not registering my own thoughts, only to find myself biting my tongue and panic a bit.

 

[Cancún]

yes

To be honest I don't understand what to do.

Should I keep trying until I achieve painless unconsciousness ? That seems to be the first step for me.

That's what I'm going to do I think, but I'm starting to doubt that video that shows "how quickly you become unconscious"...

It seems it would work if nothing break and you find the right point at your neck. Wish you good luck

 

[Walilamdzi]

Thank-you.

 

[Cancún]

i hope i find the sweet spot also

 

[Lady black]

If you do not find it, use full suspension, it will work and you pass out quick

 

[Walilamdzi]

I don't really have somewhere I can do full so will have to make sure this works.

 

[Lady black]

Hope you will find it

I tried multiple times with a long piece of cloth yesterday and today. I am simply unable to do it.

Giving up because I know it isn't working at all.

To be honest, I am extremely frustrated. Even today when I coudn't do it in my bathroom I sat there fuming and actually hit myself in the head angrily many times. I felt so frustrated like tearing my hair out.

But no matter how frustrated I get, reality is not changing. The truth is that partial method feels so uncomfortable.

Yes that's what it's like for me too, I don't understand how it is one of the most frequently used methods.

I think you don't know if you are capable of doing it unless you have tried many times and failed so badly that you don't feel like trying again.

I think the people who successfully do it may have some kind of lowered biological survival instinct and ability to withstand the pain and discomfort to find the right way to do it.

It's like a biological lottery man. If you're lucky you escape. Otherwise, it's living through hell.

 

[Cancún]

same happens to me , i cant do it .

 

[Living sucks]

In the video i saw in the megathread it took the one guy nearly 6 mins to pass out. I dont know how he continued to keep pushing into it. And in every video it did not look peaceful in anyway. I dont know how anyone can do this method

 

[Painless_end]

I tried it again today and almost felt like I was going to pass out.

It's very hard to do. The rope needs to be soft so that it doesn't hurt your neck because that will distract you.

Also, at the moment of passing out, if you have not overcome survival instinct, then you will end up standing up.
