I wish hanging didn't make me so uncomfortable

I've always been grossed out by the idea of hanging, primarily because anything to do with arteries really weirds me out and I know that its important to be aware of the position of your arteries and things like that to successfully commit suicide with this method.

Not only that, but the thrashing and jerking people make while unconcious and hanging are some of the worst things I've seen. For a year I have been addicted to gore, more specifically recorded suicides, but hangings are one of the only things that I refuse to watch.


Anyone else feel this way? It's a shame because I'd love to die this way in a hotel room or somewhere comfortable and indoors.

I never wanted to try hanging myself because it looks like something I'd definitely fail.

I've watched some vids of suicides. I always skipped the body thrashing part of hanging. But the aftermath is just something I would've liked for myself if the method wasn't so damn complicated. Idk I just always liked the idea of my lifeless body just hanging like that.

i feel the exact same way. hanging freaks me out. I tried looking into the megathread because I know hanging is cheap but the stuff with arteries freaks me out. I also worry about being found and living with brain damage. Even typing this reply I can feel my heart rate go up a little.

It makes me feel better that other people feel the same. It feels silly to not be able to consider such an accessible method with a high success rate just because of what seems like a silly reason. I was always that kid in biology that was freaked out by counting their BPM with the artery in their wrist.

I haven't watched any videos but even just written descriptions of thrashing make me uncomfortable too. I've been looking into it as a method for myself but I get so anxious thinking about the thrashing and all the potential for it to go wrong. It's definitely very scary, but I still feel so frustrated about my fear around it at the same time.
