To those who want to ctb by hanging

[telekon]

tested the anchor, haven't learned knots, but did wrap the blanket around my neck and noticed drowsiness so i feel sufficient that if i hang myself using full suspension I should pass out.

we can never know what gave that person the final kick however i do see a lot of people hanging themselves in response to relationships. mine is more financially based but also relationships and loneliness. the reason i haven't is because i hope it can get better because my life only started to become a nightmare ~6 months ago. things were relatively good before then. also the blanket is not long enough.

I recently (a few minutes ago) tried hanging, I couldn't bring myself to step off, I don't know why, it felt like some sort of reason rushed to my brain. And probably the fear of failure. I used a slipknot. Honestly, figuring it out and being 70% sure it would succeed was easy. actually doing it requires a lot of courage that my brain couldn't muster.

I've been in this situation... so many times that it grew frustrating, unnerving, and made things even worse. I had carefully read and researched what I needed to do, had the right materials, had gone to the place where I was going to die, and things just didn't happen.

No, it wouldn't. Choking on something is very different from hanging, and the two cannot be compared.

First, in hanging you pass out quickly by restricted blood flow to the brain. It's quick and relatively painless apart from the pressure felt on your neck. In contrast, choking on something and suffocation would take minutes even in an ideal scenario, and it'd be a horrific, painful experience.

Second, hanging is reliable and highly lethal. Once you pass out, gravity does its job and you can't do anything about it. Death is pretty much guaranteed unless someone finds you. In contrast, choking would be unreliable and you'd have no control over the outcome or what you'll go through.

I think it's a kind of misconception that you lose consciousness from hanging, even here no one was able to lose consciousness from hanging. People do struggle, heart pumps adrenaline, stomach hurt and you start to gag, intestines contract, blood accumulate in head with throbbing headache. It takes quite a while before losing consciousness

Dude, there are books and research papers written about it. It's not a misconception. It's the other way around. The misconception is that it takes a long time to pass out during hanging and that it happens because of suffocation.

I was talking about full suspension. People struggle with partial, but it's impossible to verify what these people are doing. If someone doesn't apply enough pressure, it won't work. When I try to pull on the rope manually or I'm too careful, it doesn't work. But when I put the rope over something so it can slide freely, hold the other end in my hand, and lower myself without holding back, it works without fail every time.

There are also reports of people who have a lethal and reliable method at hand, everything ready, but they can't go through with it due to SI. They can't jump, can't pull the trigger, can't drink the substance, or can't step off their support with full suspension. Doing what it takes to kill oneself is hard. It's perfectly logical and expected that people can't apply enough pressure to pass out with partial suspension. Partial hanging is unreliable. Full suspension isn't.

Every method is unreliable if done incorrectly. Taking SN without antiemetics will most likely fail, yet people still do that. So, is SN as a method a misconception too? Jumping from a low height will most likely fail. So, is dying from jumping a misconception too? The difference is that partial hanging is risk-free, so people play around with it, then come here to complain. They can't do it right, and are unwilling to do full suspension because they're afraid of the pain or whatever, but this doesn't mean that passing out quickly by full suspension hanging (or by partial if enough pressure is applied) is a misconception. The method isn't the problem, and it does work.

What's your plan, anyway? Choking on a grape as a method of suicide? I can't take you seriously.

I agree with everything you wrote.

I've seen multiple videos of people succeeding with partial and going unconscious in about 10 seconds.

I've also watched videos of people speaking about their lives ones hanging themselves in the closet.

I've watched a report about an inmate how hung himself by kneeling.

All these prove that partial work 100%

When people here say it doesn't work, it really doesn't mean anything, cus it could have been the case that they didn't apply enough pressure, or that SI took over and they aborted the attempt.

I said this before and I'll say it again, it's more about SI than it's about the method. There are many here with access to SN, guns, inert gases, and yet they're still struggling to CTB cus of SI.

If one can somehow lower their SI to near zero level, they wouldn't care much about the method really.

Do you know any advices how I can overcome this terrible SI And finally free myself from all my sadness, emptiness and suffering? I think I'll have one drink before I hang myself fully. Do you think that will work? I don't want to make myself drunk because then its too risky that I could do something wrong. but is there maybe something else I could do? Some mentioned that they wrote a list about all their reasons do it.

How could someone lower the si, do you have any advice?
