How long ago was last time you made a serious attempt to ctb ?

True. What if the ligature breaks halfway in the hanging, would you then be brain dead?

You'd have brain damage if the ligature breaks after a few minutes. So you definitely need to make sure (by testing its stability) that it can hold your weight, even if your body thrashes around wildly.

So probably better not to use a robe belt

It might work, it might not work. But if you aren't sure that it's going to hold your weight then I wouldn't take the risk.

My problems are quiet recent i have not attempted yet.

A few months ago I climbed a mountain leaned over the mountain ledge(so my body would fall off a high drop) put my 9mn to back of my head and pulled the trigger. Unfortunately the gun jammed due to it being a cheaper gun/me not cleaning it in a while.

What went wrong?

What went wrong?

It was actually well planned. I had a tent, charcoal and the perfect place to do it. At first everything went good. I got in the tent, layed down and startet breathing in the CO. But after half an hour or something I got really dizzy and started to panic, so I opened the tent and got out of it.
Pretty pathetic, don't you think? I'm such a fucking coward -.-

Not pathetic, it's a tough experience and choice to make. Did you find it painful?

 

[Hanging on]

Ive not seriously attempted yet, just a see what it feels like partial suspension trial. Ive od a few times but not to kill myself i just wasnt bothered if i woke up or not. I know too many people who make attempts for attention and i dont want to be one of those so ive waited, researched, set a date, tied up a few loose ends and thats its. Originally held on a psych ward with no leave but others were allowed out unescorted, the doctors responce to me was he thinks im more serious about wanting to die, they couldnt prove i have a mental health problem so i was released.

Umm

No, it wasn't painful tbh. And that's why it's even more embarrassing that I panicked :/ I got dizzy, a bit sick and light headed, but it was not too bad. If I had stayed in that damn tent, I would've fallen unconscious after some time and then I would've died.

Never. If im going to do it, it wont fail.

Wasn't your time I guess, It's my first choice hoping to run some tests and see how it goes with a decent meter soon.
