Story I tried hanging and it's more painful than i thought

[Hadnafoflife]

Note I weigh 87 kilos so there is more pressure, It was a thin rope and I tried to simulate hanging while some of my weight is on the chair, I saw a rope in noose knot near my grandparents' house, i understand that hanging from a rope is painful

Yes, it's not the most comfortable method. I've tried it twice seriously, but couldn't bring it to the end

I had 2 serious hanging attempts in my life. Rope thickness really matters, if it's too thin it hurts a lot more.

Same experience. I keep reading about the famous people who did it and it gives me hope but when I try I always back out. Full is a huge blast of pain and panic so I'm hanging my hopes, so to speak, on partial now though it's very low %

Although I suppose another reason why my first attempt had so much less pain also had to do with the fact that I weighed less since I was like 13 back then

i have been testing it recently with things i find, one of my belts which is thinner, even tho its flat and smooth its a lot more uncomfortable. the waist tie to my fuzzy robe is a LOT more comfortable, thicker about 3 fingers wide, wide plush fabric feels like a softer pressure and any pain comes from just the pressure buildup in my head as i cut off blood flow from what i noticed, which seemed easier to manage through my light tests, but it seems to also take a lot of mental willpower, especially with partial hanging which is what i would prefer since i already have neck issues. i think i would get pretty high to go through with it easier

Tried it honestly more times than I can count sometimes multiple times in one day.

Only ever had "success with it once" and that was when I blacked out relatively quickly only to end up on the floor after hitting my head when the wire I was using snapped.

And you might be thinking "the fuck, a wire?", it was one of those ones from a satellite dish, designed to take massive amounts of abuse. Really thick and really strong wire.

No clue how it snapped. I was on the fluffier side by the slightest amount. I think it was the anchor point that failed I was using the mount for a curtain pole that was in my room, I had to snap the housing off and it was on bare exposed nails, I don't remember where it snapped but I'm guessing the sharp edges of the ridges from the nail caused it to be weakened and snap.

Weird how hanging yourself comes with literal physics lessons

I don't know if it would be okay for partial, but for full suspension I definitely would advise against using a waist tie from a robe. This is what I used the first time I did FSH and it was far more comfortable than proper rope, but it broke after a few seconds of suspension.

thank you for letting me know, it feels pretty strong, i tested it by tying it on my doorknob and pulling down, it seems touch but the stitching is coming undone, so i may restitch it and as i do that i can probably reinforce it if necessary, maybe adding some sorta liner inside to make the fabric stronger, and make sure my stitches are well done on it (i like sewing a lot so im confident in figuring out how to fix it in general if not make it stronger) so i dont risk it breaking.

i practiced the knots i need to use for both ends, and they seemed to work well with the robe just as is. im unsure if it would be good for FSH, got curious while writing and i just tested it again on one of the hanger things built into my closet wall deep into hardwood (old house, more sturdy materials in some places here), tied a snuggle hitch to it and wrapped it around my arms, trying to put my full body weight into it, as well as some muscle to test if that hook was usable. the metal of the hook bent slightly, but stayed in the wall and didnt snap nor did the robe tie, i tested each hook with my hands first and that was one of the strongest ones. im thinking whatever fabric my robe is made out of is strong too, its polyester i think probably but also thick and its two pieces of that strong fabric sewn together. if i get a strong thread to fix the seams that are already half undone, that hopefully matches the color to look normal, and see what i can put inside it for extra security, sounds like the most comfy option imo

idk if i would FSH with my disability, i already have neck instability and if that fails and i just break my neck more, i would pray i am not paralyzed so then i can just get hit by a train or some shit fr. the amount of hypermobility and cervical instability i have, my neck is curved the opposite way already with a bulging disc in C3-4 and endplate remodeling, and a posterior disc protrusion in C5-6 pushing on my spinal cord, and because my neck bends so much it presses into it even harder so easily just by looking up will give me bad pain and even some neuro symptoms. if i fucked up somehow and just caused more damage without dying, before lacking enough air that my brain is dead enough to not feel it anymore even if they "recover" me, i would hate myself even more for it by making what is part of me choosing my end even worse without escape

partial seems better for me that way, even if it takes more mental willpower, but i have ways around it if needed

ya bro its a bitch to get a full hang I can put most of the weight on my fuckin neck but that last 50 pounds or so is brutal. just cant do it. I know it should only be like 10 seconds of misery but my bastard of a neck just cant take it :(
