Tried partial suspension hanging n talked out of it

[onlyusefulwhenused]

Tonight wasn't planned well…I cut myself. Then I tied phone chord around my neck, tied other end n leaned forward a bit to practice…it hurt n still does.

But im stupid n left a friend an impulse message n he called. I wouldn't untie the chord n he kept trying to talk me out of it. Obviously he got me to stop myself…I feel so embarrassed. Mad I couldn't complete. But i felt so bad hearing him cry…

Is it unusual I feel so tired after trying to hang? I'm unable to try again tonight…I'll just try sleeping it off.

It is completely normal to be tired, angry, embarrassed, sad, scared, a whole host of emotions after a failed attempt. Even if you wanted it and even though you lived, you still tried to kill yourself, which your brain does not like.

I always tell people to take some time after an attempt. Relax, do something you enjoy, be gentle with yourself for a few days if you can. When you are ready, reevaluate your plan if you want or decide to get help if that is the way you want to go. Just give yourself a bit.

Dying is extreme stressful for body and mind and if the process is interrupted it is only natural that you are very exhausted. You need sometime to recover because a successful attempt requires some energy, concentration and determination.

Yes, I was exhausted last time (partial) as well
