Who are you? Why should I listen to you? Can I trust you?
I am a suicidal woman that has been studying about hanging for more than five years. I have attempted suicide by hanging a few times in the past, and I plan on dying by full suspension hanging. I have studied about hanging from various different sources, which include guides, videos and testimonials. I have experimented with hanging for long enough and with enough intensity to believe that I am in a position where I can share my knowledge with others that are interested in hanging.
Is this guide right for me?
Well, it depends. Do you want to learn how to hang yourself? If yes, this is the guide for you. This guide is aimed at complete beginners, and doesn't rely on you having any prior knowledge about hanging. Also, this guide is suitable for you even if you don't have a place to hang yourself from (yet). My aim is to get you from inexperienced to ready for full suspension hanging.
Why are you making this guide? I've seen some other guide(s) around, are they not good enough?
I am quite sure that there are other guides around, but I've also seen plenty of conflicting or erroneous information, which led quite a few people to be unsure about details (sometimes, quite important information). Also, this guide will contain the bare-minimum, practical information on hanging, without any of the theoretical fluff that you could find in other guides. It will be straight to the point, with clear, concise information.
Why is this guide about full suspension hanging instead of partial suspension hanging or night-night?
The reason for that is because partial suspension hanging is so, so difficult to pull off that you're better off not attempting suicide in the first place. Believe me, I was fixated on partial suspension hanging for the longest time. I actually thought I could reliably die from partial suspension hanging. I just want the best for you all, I don't want to see you waste your time and be disappointed, so I'm gonna teach you how to do full suspension hanging instead. Also, night-night is even more of a waste of time, don't even bother with that.
Is this going to be a drop hanging? Will I be breaking my neck?
No, you won't be breaking your neck. There's a misconception that by breaking your neck you will die instantly or lose consciousness instantly. This is not true. Instead, what breaking your neck does is paralyze you making you unable to move. That's why it looks like they are dead. We'll be focusing on full suspension hanging, where our main objective is to compress the carotid arteries, which will lead to unconsciousness within 20 seconds, followed by death.
Where are the carotid arteries located?
The carotid arteries are located in the sides your neck. They are most exposed towards the upper part of your neck. You can feel the pulse of your carotid arteries by placing your fingers on the upper part of your neck: it will feel like a strong pulse.
What type of ligature should I use to hang myself?
You need a rope to hang yourself. Some people say that you can get away with an extension cord, a belt, a necktie, etc. but I have heard stories of them snapping during a full suspension hanging attempt. Is it worth the risk, considering you could end up with severe brain damage if your hanging attempt is suddenly interrupted? That's why I recommend a rope. I recommend 12mm braided polyester or polypropylene rope. They should support pretty much anyone with an average weight, but always make sure you check the "safe working load" of whatever rope you're buying.
What type of knot should I use for the noose on my neck?
You should use a noose knot (not a hangman's knot). Check out this video:
What type of knot should I use for the anchor point?
You should use a bowline knot for the anchor point. Check out this video:
With this knot you can even tie a knot to anchor points that are too high up for you.
Where can I find a good anchor point for full suspension hanging?
Check around your house first: does anything look sturdy enough to hold your full body weight? I realize that finding an anchor point for full suspension hanging inside a house might be very hard (if not impossible) for some. So I decided to write a guide on how to find a suitable anchor point outside your house. Please take a look:

Should I put anything between the rope and my neck?
Yes. I recommend you put something light such as a tablecloth or a plastic bag. This is to reduce friction of the rope against your neck, to ensure that the rope can constrict your neck smoothly and to ensure that you don't get a rope burn. If you are particularly heavy (say more than 100 kg), you could even use a towel as padding for your neck.
When should I do it?
You should do this when you know that your hanging attempt won't get interrupted for 30 minutes.
And, if you're doing this outside, just do it at night. Preferably during the winter, so the night is even darker, that way nobody will be able to interrupt you from hanging yourself.
How should it be done?
Follow the three basic rules on full suspension hanging. More details on
