Hanging is much easier than I thought

[Sadbanana]

I tried putting the rope around my neck and pull it with my arms as much as I can. I'm pretty strong so I'm sure it was more than my bodyweight of force.

I started losing conciousness immediately, there was static in front of my eyes consuming everything, same way I as when I lost conciousness a long time ago. It might be philosophically scary, but the sensation itself feels very neutral.

It wasn't at all as painful as I thought. It hurts but compared to getting hit in balls it is not even that bad.

It's almost scary how smooth and simple it is.

When you get it right, hanging is a very efficient way to kill yourself.

Am I crazy for preferring hanging to shooting myself? And that's knowing FSH will be brutal for a few moments

Oh man, thanks, ngl, just killed some fear for me for what felt like a "last resort" method. The thought of final moments being pain, discomfort, fear, etc... I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling the need to avoid those as much as possible

full suspension hanging

I'm the type of person to inhale gas with no oxygen (makes me pass out in under 10 seconds when in deep breaths of the zero oxygen gas inside the bag) while the noose is on my neck though I'm not yet suspended because I'm on a stool, and then when I feel like I am literally about to pass out and/or I pass out, then I kick the stool and let it completely block my windpipe or the so called 'airway' while I'm suspended, the only issue is, is that my body can move a lot like seizures and involuntary insane movements and might make the anchor/rope break and that's my fear. Because even if the anchor point and the rope can look like it won't break, it can still break if the rope/anchor was only able to hold my body weight for only 30 seconds or less and/or my body keeps jumping making either one of them break, that's my fear.

No... I agree with you in preferring shooting. I tried partial hanging a few years ago and failed miserably. After moving to a state where it's easier to buy a gun, I purchased one a few weeks ago... I'm now getting things in order before I call it a day,.

I think you disagree but that's okay. A gun is the rational choice. The shotgun I'm looking at would make my head explode in a split second.

Oops... Apparently, reading comprehension isn't my strength. Sorry!

I give you immense credit if you can make hanging work... I tried with partial hanging... I had to replace the rope with the 'right' one... then I had placement issues... then I had problems with my face bloating... and then the survival instinct kicked in. Complete failure on my part.

If that was me, at least, I wouldn't call that failure. The animal/living being instincts we were inherently and non-consentingly saddled with...

Totally can agree. "Violent", but hopefully/potentially basically instant and painless... And certainly feels like plenty choice involved and needed... So weird I used to feel it was a cowards way out, but now have gotten to feeling first hand how much bravery, having fought fear, etc, etc, is ACTUALLY the case... at least in non "impulsive" situations... Tho no judgement there, props on ANY way out. Creating choice from the foundation of no choice...

That's why I would preffer full suspension. I can't imagine going through the partial when throughout the whole process I'm able to back down.

Shotgun deffinitely. But with normal gun you need to hit the spot to pass out immediately. I think it's brain stem.

ughgh i hate how i can't find my carotids for shit but everyone is fainting in 1 second you need to tell me your secret

 

[TheOneFreeDude]

That has been the method I've been considering for the past few weeks, after ignoring ALL the advice EVERYONE gives about not trying it with benzo + alcohol. I think it might work better with full suspension instead of partial hanging, and even more so if you're hyperventilating, I can only imagine it will be quicker to lose consciousness.

SO glad to have got the shotty. Still a touch scared of "missing" but most of those have been 'under the chins', shooting too straight up. The worst cases blowing off the whole face but surviving. Kinda hate in the mouth, but even if I hadn't read the entire thread around this, aiming, etc, don't think there should be TOO much chance for anything but success.

Oh and agree that if going with hanging, full suspension sounds like it. I've avoided reading about the method though. I guess, exactly, I'm too scared of the length of time, and at least discomfort if not full on bad pain. Just been SO happy to get to meet mr 12ga...

My understanding is that full suspension has a long history of being an effective method, more famously as an execution method but also for CTB. All you really need is a secure anchor and a rope, and you'll pass out pretty quickly when done correctly. It's an underrated method, and my backup method (only because I'd prefer if possible to die in the comfort of my bed).

I think the main reason people consider it a violent method is because the risk of permanent brain damage is very high if you're caught. To be fair, that's a reasonable fear. I think full suspension is appealing to people who are 101% certain in their choice, because once you step off there's no chance of backing out.

I think hanging is one of the easiest and most painless but there's something about it that I don't like.

If you think it's easy and painless then what about it don't you like? Not trying to ask in a judgemental way. Just genuinely curious.

 

[ChamberOfEchoes]

I believe that hanging is more suitable for some people and less so for others. We are all unique individuals. This isn't a gunshot to the mouth that would be capable of splitting anyone's head open.

 

[dying2026]

I think it's because the body is suspended and there's a lack of dignity in that. I've also seen a few hanging videos on gore sites and the body thrashes around a lot. They are unconscious but it still looked brutal and I found it off putting. All methods are probably distressing tbf.

I think I would do this method if other methods weren't available to me but it isn't what I would choose first.

What would you choose first if you don't mind me asking?

 

[dying2026]

A poison or chemical that's not painful. I've looked into a few chemicals. If I could I'd choose highly potent opioids.

I wasn't looking for them I just used a lot of force. To see what full suspension would feel like.

But I couldn't make nighty-night method work and didn't start fainting even after like half minute.

That has been the method I've been considering for the past few weeks, after ignoring ALL the advice EVERYONE gives about not trying it with benzo + alcohol. I think it might work better with full suspension instead of partial hanging, and even more so if you're hyperventilating, I can only imagine it will be quicker to lose consciousness.

I think being dissociated from drugs could make it less scary. And you could faint slightly faster. Idk if it is such a meaningful difference though.

Will opioids really work? I was considering this because I have some from getting my wisdom teeth removed months ago, but never felt the need to take them so the bottle is just in a bag somewhere. I posted about it(that post is long deleted) but basically someone said it wouldn't work and not to bother. EDIT: UGHHHH I checked the bottle and they literally only put two. I understand why though obviously, wouldn't want anyone overdosing. Nevermind then, forget what I said.

What made you back out?

Was it Full or Partial

 

[Sadbanana]

What made you back out?

I didn't back out back then, because it was just a test. But yesterday I tried partial on a doorknob and I backed out after two tries, I couldn't get past my survival instincts. I guess I need to more painful life lessons, before I will be ready to leave.
