---------- About me and past attempts

These past days have been really weird for me. My first attempt was at 23rd of feb, using the helium method, as I learned on "Dignified Dying" by Boudewijn Chabot. (I'm 19, go to college, and live with a roomate.) Everything was going as planned, texted those who matter most, left a few notes around my room, said my goodbyes to everything, I was confortable on leaving this world. Then I just, wake up from it. Won't go much in detail but it was an awful experience. First time in a while that I audibly cried.


Then the next days were absolutely awful. Having a near death experience, specially from attempting suicide is not good. But I still was (and still am) convicted 100% on what I want. So I tried again, this time with a bigger tank. Double the size. I do everything I did before again, (except texting others, they still think I am dead, which hurts me a lot to think about.) but, just like last time, I wake up from it again. Again, it was awful. But this time, my instinct was to laugh? I didn't cry like last time. I just laughed for some reason. I guess I was just filled with anger that it didn't work once again.

---------
New method

So I decided to go with a different method, as the helium didn't seem to work for me. The issue was on the bag I was using I guess.
I decided then to use the hanging method, since those are most likely to work, I guess. Did some research on it, and it seems like it sucks being strangulated to death, slowly. So I thought about those old execution methods, where the one who is hang die instantly. Turns out it has a name, the long-drop hanging. Instead of being strangulated, the person dies (Instantly) from having their neck broken by the rope with a certain height.

Did more research on it, and I feel like I'm ready once more to try this. But just recently did I came across this website. Until then I've been getting my awnsers from those books I mentioned. So I felt alleviated when I found a place for me to talk about it. So here are some of my questions...

---------
Questions

-> On my research about the long-drop method, I found that the rope needs to be tied a certain way around your neck, that ensures it to break. How do I tie it? Or if someone can please link another thread that talks about it.

-> Is the long-drop a decent method? It's the one I wanted to try, after having failed twice. I've seen ppl around here talking about SN, so would you say that one is preferable over hanging?

sry for the stupid offtopic question.. why do they still think you're dead.. wouldn't they call someone to rescue or help you, or to find out if you're really dead ?

It's alright, I don't mind.

As for my family, I didn't have the courage to tell them right on what I was actually going to do (I started living really far from them when I started college) so all I did was send them voice messages telling how much I love them, and affectionate things. I did leave a note on my room (supposed to be found after I've done it) that tells someone to contact them, and explain everything that was actually going on.

As for close friends, I did the same thing, except for some who I stopped talking to a while prior. The real problem was my online friends. I've known a lot of people who I cared so much for, and so did they for me. Been part of groups, we chatted everyday, there was this one particular guy who was everything for me... still. They were the ones whose notes I talked about everything that was happening, and sent it to them on that night, before my first attempt.

And when I woke up from it, twice, I didn't have the courage to text them again. Everything had drastically changed. They think I'm dead now. I never talked to them about my actual feelings concerning suicide and my well-being, and there was no hint to it. So I was completly fine in their eyes. Even if I texted them after waking up, everything would change, and it would suck so much. I don't think there's going back on how it was before. Anyways...

The thing is, I've always had a knack for privacy and have always been anonymous on the internet. Out of everyone I knew only two ppl got to know my actual name, and despite all my life stories and everyday stuff I'd talk about with them, I was always careful to not tell them my address or anything similar. All they knew was the state I was from. So I'm assuming they accepted the fact that I'm dead, and couldn't go after me. I even made sure to make some changes to my socials, to be certain that they couldn't contact my close friends.

I know that it is really harmful for them, or for anyone to read a suicide note from me, and not being able to check if I'm still here or not. They should just assume that I'm dead, while I'm still here. They must be really hurt right now. And thinking about this, and about them, hurts me. And I really wish I could just tell them that I'm alright, but when I actually think about it, it would only make things worse. Considering I'm currently working on my third, and hopefully final attempt.
