hanging from a tree?

[deletedaccount30982]

i tried to ctb last year via SN and was unsuccessful because i panicked about how it felt and told someone and was saved. it was far from deciding i didn't want to die anymore, i think it was subconscious survival instinct. i ended up in the hospital and was stabilized with methane blue or whatever it's called and ended up in a residential facility for 8 months. i actually did recover. after i attempted to ctb while in there but was able to get better. i genuinely felt happy and wanted to live life. everything was going so well. i had a happy relationship with my boyfriend who stuck with me through all of that, i've been doing well in school, taking care of myself, having healthy relationships, making good money. but the depression is starting to creep it's way back. i mean, i should have known better than to think i would be okay forever.

anyway, i have been working on a new plan. this is simply a thing to keep in the back of my pocket as i am not currently suicidal enough to intend on acting on anything, however i want to have a solid plan in place in the case that i do become unbearably mentally ill again. i want to hang myself in the woods. i know from another thread that i should use a spot near the base of a branch, however i need help on what rope size and am getting inconsistent information on the knot that should be used. help would be appreciated!

I understand it can be a relief having a plan in place just incase you cannot take anymore of this life. I do not know anything about rope size, but I wish you the best with whatever you decide to do.

Can partial hanging be done from a tree.

Is there any hope of managing your depression? Since you went through the darkness and came out in better condition, it would be nice to keep that recovery moving forward.

If you cannot keep depression away, there are threads that can give good information. Watch out for the comments that are designed to instill fear. They are NOT helpful.

Use Rope Size: 10 Millimeter (mm) 3/8"
(Used by the Germans during WW2, so lethal)

The best material would be Cotten BDSM rope that does not stretch

You should tie a snuggle hitch knot
Or you could tie a tensionless hitch
At the base of the tree, like you said

Hope this information helps

Hi it's the same as what you were trying to do with the pull up machine .... just that you tie the rope to the base of the branch or a strong enough branch .. also try hanging on it for a while ... Just look at photos of tree hangings in google you'll get the idea....
Also you climb up the tree and drop or let yourself down.
You need to understand the mechanism of action of how death occurs by hanging then the rest is simple.
I know this because I've just done setting everything but was scared to let go.

My pullup bar has failed, so I will look for a tree instead

Do I need to climb the tree? I never did that...

You'll need to climb it..also you'll have to find a suitable tree.

Else you'll need a ladder and a stool that match the tree size.

Where I'm from hanging is the common method so people climb the tree to the branch spot and tie the anchor point to the tree branch put on the noose and drop down.
