Hanging survivors

[itsallogre]

Those who survived hanging, what do you remember? I have my sweet spot and can make myself pass out with just pulling straight up but haven't made a full attempt yet. Obviously worried about regret but I really can't continue living in this state of depression and anxiety any longer.

Never quite been able to make myself pass out by hanging. All I remember is feeling tingly, my vision going dark, and experiencing jerking movements as I got up and loosened the rope.

I'm curious about this, too

I did it with a makeshift tourniquet in a car once. I had music playing so at some point i noticed i blacked out a few seconds, and then I had a lil mini vision and panicked and undid it.

I don't think I'd be able to do it again. I've tried unsuccessfully. After all the failures i think if I wanted to ctb it'd have to be something with no outs.

Felt losing consciousness for a few seconds but didnt even realize I blacked out, suddenly I just regained consciousness after I don't even know how long lol

I remember losing my vision but still being able to hear. I remember hearing a very loud bang, but I was in such a state of confusion I didn't know what I was hearing. The bang was my head hitting the door the rope was tied to after I somehow flipped out of the chair I was sitting in. It took me a good minute to come to. I was literally so confused, didn't know where I was or who I was, type shit. A roommate was screaming at me through a door, not out of concern, but because they were angry the loud banging woke them up. I was so out of it I remember being like "mom?" thinking the angry female voice was my mom. Then when I came to came to, the pain kicked in. I fucked my shit up from convulsing around, and the rope burns lasted weeks.

watching because i'm also curious about this. not that i've made a full attempt yet but i'm planning to ctb w/ fsh and i wanna see how other people have failed (aside from SI kicking in). how come some people haven't been able to pass out? (i tried applying pressure to my carotids once with the rope i have, but came nowhere near passing out. just felt the need to gag and swallow while my head felt like it was about to explode. maybe i didn't apply enough pressure out of subconscious fear.)

bumping the thread. i haven't been able to pass out either, not once. i don't know how people can. i guess they apply a lot of pressure?

this is basically what i deal with every time i try to partial and full suspension hang myself. i never take my feet completely off my stool while full suspension hanging (nervous) so i kind of just gag and try to stand up again to swallow my spit. i kind of hate that i'll have to deal with drooling while i hang myself, even if i'll literally be dead in 10-15 seconds. i have the head exploding feeling that gives me a headache every time i practice hanging that makes me wonder if i would screw up fsh and asphyxiate to death instead.

i do feel dizzy and lightheaded every time i attempt hanging, but the pressure in my head hurts a lot and makes it hard for me to black out. it's frustrating to have to leave home to avoid getting interrupted too.
