Torn between fixing and ending my life

Sadly, this is not the first post requesting a fast and easy method to end your life. We all came for that but quickly learned that no method is easy nor quick. Methods that seem easy are not and methods that promise less pain and suffering and greater results require weeks or months of planning and resources that have to be acquired and sometimes created from scratch.
Here's the worse part. Regardless of your method, even if you planned everything perfectly, no method is guaranteed.

We haven't even discussed your survival instincts that will kick in, no matter how much you don't want them to.

No one here is allowed to tell you how to kill yourself. The best you can do is look at the threads below for research and figure out what works best for you.

For most methods you get to pick two of the following and only two:
  • Fast
  • Painless
  • Accessible

"Eased hanging" (where you ease your body into it, as opposed to fully dropping your body from a tall height), if it's executed correctly. It kills you by depriving your body of oxygen for a long enough time, as opposed to breaking your neck (which is what a full-drop-hanging would do).

Out of all of the different suicide-methods that exists, "eased hanging" (when executed correctly) is the only suicide-method that's both very cheap, very simple, very available/attainable, very reliable, very effective, relatively quick, relatively painless, relatively non-scary, and relatively non-traumatising for the people who discover your body (plus it allows for a relatively nice-looking corpse, which allows for an open coffin at your funeral). The only other suicide-method that can kind of compete with all of these features of "eased hanging", is probably drowning.

In order to do "eased hanging", all you need (if you have a normal neck) is the right type of rope; a solid anchor-point that can hold your weight; the correct knot; the correct placement of the noose on your neck; and enough time for your body to die before being discovered/taken down by other people.

And if the "eased hanging" is executed correctly, then it's relatively painless, as you lose consciousness within seconds; and it's relatively quick, as your body dies in a matter of minutes (although your body should be hanging for 20-30 minutes, before being discovered/taken down by other people, if you want to be absolutely sure that your body is completely dead).

Watch some videos of suicide by "eased hanging", if you want to see the empirical evidences for these things - as well as learn exactly how to do "eased hanging" correctly.

Sadly, this is not entirely true - and I don't mean that to be argumentative, only to raise awareness so someone doesn't end up with the same problems they have now, but compounded by brain damage, etc.

What you are referring to is "partial hanging", and it is much more difficult to find the carotid arteries than it at first seems. First, you can't "ease in to it", or at least most people can't. Your carotids are pressurized, and slowly trying to occlude them so that unconsciousness is lost is very difficult. In order to block the carotids completely, you have to quickly squeeze them shut - at least this is the reported experience of several users going back years in the 160 page hanging megathread in the resource section.

Furthermore, partial hanging relies on a delicate balance of specific rope/knot placement and body position. Any disruption to that, no matter how small, and pressure gets restored. There are plenty of users here who managed to successfully occlude the carotids and lose consciousness, however they later woke up because of involuntary thrashing while they were out. Others have stood up while unconscious, and indeed a posted study in the aforementioned thread details how scientists watched 8 live streamed hangings. In all 8 cases the people were witnessed extending their legs involuntarily.

So, no, partial hangings are not quick and easy. They require a lot of trial and error just to find the sweet spot and pass out quickly. As mentioned, consideration of body position, the knots you tie, the type of rope you use, the anchor used, all come in to play.

Don't get me wrong, people have been hanging themselves successfully for thousands of years without any planning or forethought. However, those are full suspensions, and I've studied full suspension for awhile now. Most people lose consciousness immediately, and it is a guaranteed quick and painless death. However, there is still a chance that this doesn't happen and you start choking and panicking. A small chance, but it's still there.

TLDR Partial suspension involves a lot of variables that you must get right if you expect it to be painless, and you don't expect to survive. From most anecdotal reports here, very few people are able to get their carotids pinched immediately with partial. And the ones who did become successful at doing that all claimed that they had to "sit in to it", or quickly put all their weight in. Dipping your toes in the water by easing in to it, while I understand WHY people do this, it's most likely not going to work.

It requires more courage, but if you want to quickly pass out from occlusion of the carotid arteries in a hanging, your best chances are with full suspension. With partial, there is a lot that can go wrong, and you end up at worst with brain damage, at best with exploided capillaries all over your face, a big purple bruise around your neck, bloodshot eyes, and possibly a broken or displace hyoid bone (which is only held in place by ligaments, it's not attached to your skeleton).

Read the mega thread here. It's not as easy as people think it is.

Sadly, this is not entirely true
Yes, it actually is. There are videos, as well as reports from people who have actually tried it, that empirically prove this. Besides, it's also true, purely in terms of principle - as it's simple physics.

Remember, this forum contains a lot of misinformation about things (as well as a lot of correct information about things, of course) - including the information about some of the suicide-methods.



What you are referring to is "partial hanging"
No - partial hanging refers to the lower end of the body being in contact with the ground, while the person is hanging by the neck. (Hence why it's called partial hanging.)

What I'm referring to, on the other hand, is just easing into the hanging-position. That's precisely the reason why I termed it "eased hanging", and not "partial hanging" - because "eased hanging" can apply to both full-suspension-hanging and partial hanging.

And partial hanging is much more likely to fail than full-suspension-hanging is (regardless of whether the full-suspension-hanging is an "eased in full-suspension-hanging", or a "full-drop full-suspension-hanging"), precisely because partial hanging is only partial hanging.

Full-suspension-hanging (especially if it's "eased in full-suspension-hanging") on the other hand, is extremely unlikely to fail when it's executed correctly (on a normal person who has a normal neck). This is because it's simple physics.



(...) it is much more difficult to find the carotid arteries than it at first seems.
No, it isn't difficult to find them, if a person has a normal neck (which the vast majority of people have).

However, it can sometimes be difficult to put enough pressure on the carotid arteries, if a person is doing partial hanging. (This is because when doing partial hanging, a person's body-position influences which areas of the neck that are exposed to the pressure of the noose.)



First, you can't "ease in to it", or at least most people can't.
Yes, they can - both in terms of full-suspension-hanging and partial hanging.

However, specifically when doing partial hanging, it can be more difficult to ease into the right body-position for the neck to receive optimal pressure on the carotid arteries - in comparison to when doing full-suspension-hanging.



Your carotids are pressurized, and slowly trying to occlude them so that unconsciousness is lost is very difficult.
Not in terms of "eased in full-suspension-hanging" - if it's executed correctly.

However, specifically when doing partial hanging, it can be more difficult to achieve this, yes - in comparison to when doing "eased in full-suspension-hanging" (if it's executed correctly).



In order to block the carotids completely, you have to quickly squeeze them shut (...)
No, you don't; you can actually ease into it, and become unconscious quite quickly. It's not about the quickness or slowness of the squeezing; it's about the squeezing being hard enough (and in the right area on the neck) to actually cause enough pressure to close the carotid arteries in the neck. (And this is obvious if you actually think logically about this.)



In order to block the carotids completely, you have to quickly squeeze them shut - at least this is the reported experience of several users going back years in the 160 page hanging megathread in the resource section.
And those users that you're basing this on, obviously must have executed the hanging incorrectly (probably by doing partial hanging, which is sort of a "high-risk-form of hanging") - which is why they've reported those negative experiences regarding hanging, and why they have made those incorrect conclusions about hanging.

Such incorrect conclusions is simply what you get when people don't actually think things through, before making conclusions about things.



Furthermore, partial hanging relies on a delicate balance of specific rope/knot placement and body position. Any disruption to that, no matter how small, and pressure gets restored.
Yes, that's true for partial hanging.

For "eased in full-suspension-hanging", on the other hand, it's not "delicate". It's just about using a thick/wide enough rope; and making sure that the pressure is, and always remains, on the carotid arteries in the neck - which is ensured by the knot being on the center-back of the neck, and adjusting the noose's location/pressure-points on the neck, before easing into the full-suspension-hanging. It's actually really simple.



There are plenty of users here who managed to successfully occlude the carotids and lose consciousness, however they later woke up because of involuntary thrashing while they were out. Others have stood up while unconscious (...)
Those users must obviously have been using partial hanging; not "eased in full-suspension-hanging". And that's why they failed - because partial hanging makes it possible for the body to lift itself/change position while the person is unconscious (due to the body's automatic reactions while it's fighting to survive), which thereby relieves the pressure on the carotid arteries in the neck, which thereby fails the suicide-attempt.

If a person really wants to be certain of succeeding at hanging, then he/she should do "eased in full-suspension-hanging" (and should be careful about executing it correctly), and shouldn't do partial hanging.



(...) and indeed a posted study in the aforementioned thread details how scientists watched 8 live streamed hangings. In all 8 cases the people were witnessed extending their legs involuntarily.
That's just the body's automatic reactions while it's fighting to survive, while the person itself is actually unconscious.

That is, of course, unless all of those 8 people had executed the hanging incorrectly (for example by doing partial hanging, instead of doing "eased in full-suspension-hanging") - and thereby were actually conscious at the time, and were actually making conscious movements with their legs.



So, no, partial hangings are not quick and easy. They require a lot of trial and error just to find the sweet spot and pass out quickly.
Yes, partial hanging can be problematic as a hanging-method. It can work quite well, of course - but the risk of failure or problems during the hanging-process, is much higher with partial hanging, than it is with "eased in full-suspension-hanging".



As mentioned, consideration of body position, the knots you tie, the type of rope you use, the anchor used, all come in to play.
Yes - and I mentioned all of those important aspects in my previous post in this thread (with the exception of "consideration of body-position", as that's irrelevant when doing "eased in full-suspension-hanging" - which is the form of hanging that I was primarily referring to, in my previous post in this thread).



Don't get me wrong, people have been hanging themselves successfully for thousands of years without any planning or forethought. However, those are full suspensions, and I've studied full suspension for awhile now. Most people lose consciousness immediately, and it is a guaranteed quick and painless death.
Exactly. And this is true even if the person eases into the full-suspension-hanging (as opposed to doing a full-drop-hanging from a tall height).

I don't think we actually disagree that much about hanging. You mainly confused my term, "eased hanging", with the term, "partial hanging" - which thereby made you think that I was referring to something (namely partial hanging) that I primarily wasn't referring to.



However, there is still a chance that this doesn't happen and you start choking and panicking. A small chance, but it's still there.
If a person is a normal person who has a normal neck, and if the person executes the "eased in full-suspension-hanging" correctly, then the chance of failure is almost non-existent. This is because it's simple physics.



TLDR Partial suspension involves a lot of variables that you must get right if you expect it to be painless, and you don't expect to survive.
Yes. This is true for both full-suspension-hanging (regardless of whether it's "eased in full-suspension-hanging", or "full-drop full-suspension-hanging") and partial hanging - but it's especially true for partial hanging, of course.



From most anecdotal reports here, very few people are able to get their carotids pinched immediately with partial. And the ones who did become successful at doing that all claimed that they had to "sit in to it", or quickly put all their weight in.
That's because it's easier to get enough pressure on the carotid arteries in the neck, by "sitting in to them", or by quickly putting weight on them - specifically when doing partial hanging.

It doesn't mean that it can't be achieved, by easing into partial hanging; it just means that it can be more difficult to achieve it, by easing into partial hanging (as the body-position needs to be correct in order to achieve it, when easing into partial hanging).



Dipping your toes in the water by easing in to it, while I understand WHY people do this, it's most likely not going to work.
It depends on how the body is positioned, and where the noose is located on the neck, after a person has eased into partial hanging; and whether or not the body/neck moves in a way that reduces pressure on the carotid arteries in the neck, while the person is unconscious.



It requires more courage, but if you want to quickly pass out from occlusion of the carotid arteries in a hanging, your best chances are with full suspension.
Yes - which is exactly my point.



With partial, there is a lot that can go wrong (...)
Yes. This is especially true for partial hanging - but it's also true for full-suspension-hanging (regardless of whether it's "eased in full-suspension-hanging", or "full-drop full-suspension-hanging"), if it's executed incorrectly.



Read the mega thread here. It's not as easy as people think it is.
Yes - this is true specifically about partial hanging.

I need the same, I always suffer so much from being so cruelly denied the option to just painlessly cease existing to finally be at peace from this futile, torturous existence, all I want is a straightforward way to just be gone, I just hope and wish to never suffer again, I hope you find the relief you search for, I wish you the best.

Just a quick follow-up to my long, previous post above in this thread:

It was in the middle of the night, and I was very tired and sleepy, when I wrote the long, previous post above in this thread. And when I re-read it now (in my more awake and refreshed state), I see that there are a few things there that I would have formulated a bit better/a bit more precise, if I hadn't been so tired and sleepy when I wrote it.

And because editing becomes impossible on this forum, after the initial 6 hours has passed, after a post was originally posted (which is a completely braindead and frustrating rule, made by the forum-administrators); I can't re-formulate those things in question, in the previous post.



Welcome to the unfair biology of human beings. No easy or painless method that's accessible.
Yes, there actually is (at least relatively speaking). Read my 2 posts above in this thread, to learn about it.
