How to get over fear of hanging?

[throwaway9901]

I think hanging is my best option. I could also hypothetically use a firearm but after seeing that Ronnie McNutt video that kind of turned me off on that whole method.

I have a belt with this intertwined design that lets be basically strap it around my neck as tight as possible. I've almost hung myself many times with it but didn't really think through my binding point. I tried an A/C vent on the ceiling of my room back in high school which didn't work and a shelf in my closet a year ago which wasn't high enough.

I realized recently if I tossed the belt over the side of the door and just closed it shut to the best of my ability, that provides extreme strength to holding the belt up. I even have a proper mini metal trashcan I can flip upside down to use as a stool.

I almost hung myself a little bit back using this method but pussied out because of how much I realized it would fucking hurt. How do I get over this fear of strangling pain? Or should I just forget it and try to use the gun in the attic. I have a .45 round I brought home as a souvenir from a gun range that coincidentally fits.

So yeah, what are your whole thoughts on this issue I'm in?

All it requires is 10 seconds of courage and we will be out, I hope it works out for me and I find peace , wish the same for you.

Between 30-180 seconds of oxygen deprivation, you may lose consciousness. At the one-minute mark, brain cells begin dying. At three minutes, neurons suffer more extensive damage, and lasting brain damage becomes more likely. At five minutes, death becomes imminent.

Yeah same, it's good because you get used to the blood choke sensation before moving onto practicing with a ligature that's not tied an anchor point yet, can just pull it upwards with your hands to practice. Makes one more confident for the real thing. Apparently it's not possible to pass out from blood choking yourself, or so I've read, but it should be obvious if you're doing it right and blocking the carotid arteries.
