This thread is for those who will or are planning to attempt hanging. Change your answer anytime you decide a different hanging position. If you don't have an Adam's apple, then replace it as the center of the neck.

After going through the hanging resources and information here, I found that it left many unsure where to place the noose, myself included. I made this poll to find popular hanging noose positions. I will be going partial, noose below but if I give up then I choose full, still unsure of noose position. This is my first thread so I hope I set it up okay.

Any person that has ever chosen below AA for a full, may as well have placed it above, because it's quickly going there anyhow. :))

Yeah, I probably shouldn't have put that option. I did more research, and I agree that the rope will slip up the neck. Thanks for your input.

Full suspension is my method. Once I step off into space there is no going back for me or changing my mind. I will be using a slip knot and have the knot at the base of my jaw on the left side. I expect to pass out quickly and not feel the end.

Full suspension, short drop when I kick off the stool. I will use scaffold knot (a modified slip knot) placed on the back of my neck.

I'll be doing partial with knot bellow AA. I think i found my sweet spot, as on my trila runs i feel my pulse in the rope, and i get tunnel vision quite quickly, with not a lot of pressure.

Definitely full suspension. I want to know I just killed myself before I blackout. I have to know that "now" there is no turning back

I want to do full suspension but below aa because it is faster and less painful, how do I prevent the noose from going up? would padding work?

I don't think that's possible.

Not possible. It will most likely move up or be highly painful pulling up against the adams appple.
Although the other day I was able to take a belt and wedge it in the top if the door place the belt below my adams apple and it stayed I almost passed out really quickly.

I cam't do it that way though because A. Don't want my family to find me. B. they will want to move and they are close to purchasing the house fully. C. It will most likely make the value of the property drop.

Full suspension is my choice. Even if there is more pain you are unconscious in 10-to-15 seconds. But more importantly, if SI kicks in, it won't make any difference. Walking off that stool means you are essentially waiting to be dead. For some reason, in those few seconds before you lose consciousness I want to say to mmyself "you just killed yourself. Strange rituals of the soon-to-be dead.

I'm going for the long drop that will hopefully break my neck.
I'll do it off a bridge near me, so I'll be found quickly and by someone other than my family. If it doesn't break my neck, it'll just turn into full suspension and I'll CTB regardless.
