Resource How to hang yourself

[RIP2ME]

Need to go tonight early hours in the morning! Please help just need to know

I've tried partial a few times already in the past, but I've never been able to pass out before discomfort got unbearable.

I was standing, had the knot on the side of my neck, and bent my knees, leaning away from the knot, so as to press the rope against the side of my neck. I felt discomfort, dizzyness, a throbbing sensation in my head, even saw little flashing lights, but no unconsciousness at any point. At some point it always got unbearable and I had to abort.

I'd be very grateful for any input on what I was doing wrong. Where is the quick and sudden unconsciousness that I see in videos?

This is my plan C after a couple easier methods that are proving a bit hard to come by where I live, but I guess the same goes for a lot people.

My question is, when hanging yourself from a doorknob does it matter how you are sitting on the floor, i.e. on your knees, or cross-legged or sitting with your legs straight in front of you?

I don't think it matters, people have hanged themselves in all kinds of positions, however you might find some positions more comfortable than others.

I strongly discourage you from trying to hang from a doorknob. The physics of it simply work "against" you.

If you hang yourself you have to hanging at least partly in the air and not sitting on the floor. It's not comfortable.

Have been experimenting, this is my experience. The rope is about 10mm thick, similar to that used for climbing and wore a pullover with a high neck. The rope was secured to one of the bolts holding the water heater in the bathroom, which is rock solid, about 5 feet off the ground. I placed the slipknot under my left jaw fairly tightly but just pressing and sat in a kind of crouching position, so my backside was about 2 feet off the ground. When i started to allow gravity to apply pressure, more so on the right side of the neck,as the knot was on the left, my head was forced to tilt to the right. After about 10 or 15 seconds i knew that i was going to black out pretty soon if i didn't stop, was becoming faint and my head was beginning to throb. I imagine if i had consumed a decent amount of whisky over the evening and then taken a handful of pills, (say 50mg xanax and 100 mg of zopiclone, cruched up with a spoon in some jam) that would have been that. Also some antiemetics during the evening to try to avoid all that coming back up.

One of the reason for taking some pills is that for me it can become a kind of out of body experience, the process leading up to an attempt. And so it can become in one's mind depersonalised and there is perhaps less fear, as this is not really 'me' that is going this. Not so much that you conk out before before you go through with it.

As for lying flat, another time i tried it in the car and lying down in the back seats, with the rope tied to the railbars and then closing the door on it. There was no way this was going to move. Slipknot was adjusted to the point where the weight of my head remained 6 inches from the floor when tight to allow for sagging and i lied on my side, again with the knot on the left side of the neck. I messed this up by somehow scrabbling the thing off my neck having taken the pills, i am guessing such a thing is more likely to happen if you are horizontal. I might also have been able to put my legs off the seat and onto the floor which allowed me to get it off, although i don't remember any of what happened. In any case, i felt less pressure on the arteries with this method before passing out from the drugs. Clearly the head may weigh let's say 10 kilos and a semi suspended one more like 60. Apparently only 3kg in the right place can be enough but it seems to me that just the weight of a human head makes lying down to do this more prone to failure unless you can get it spot on, or wear a very heavy hat.....

Thanks for telling us about your experience with this method. Im having a problem as I tried to do this method but I believe the problem for me might be how thick the rope is.. Gonna find some rope that is at least 20-15mm thick now.

I think there are numerous issues with this method, as with many. I doubt in the end this will be the one i choose for several reasons, one of which is the thing about how you are remembered. Doing this to my remaining family is hard enough but i'd rather not have them left with the visuals of hanging when other slightly more comfortable visuals can be an option.

What do you mean? You need a thicker rope or a less thick rope?
I've bought 7mm. I read that less thick was better

Worked for Spade and Bourdain though. They probably just had the will to go through with it which made all the difference in the end. Anyway, I tried putting a sash in the opposite doorknob and then closed the door and attached it to the doorknob, making a noose which I put above my adam's apple and sat for a second on the floor like that and I was already feeling dangerously warm after a short moment, maybe just two seconds. Got the same result with a wardrobe rail. Guess it really doesn't matter how you sit, only the pressure applied to the veins of your neck seem to matter.

... pressure applied to the arteries, to be correct.

This is how I will likely go, partial suspension.
The hardest part is the blacked out body having the survival instinct kick in when you don't even realise, you come around again gasping for air, heart racing, not knowing what just happened.
Wondering if I can take anything (easily accessible) to prevent this happening so I can stay in an unconscious state until death?

If you have sleeping pills, or something to drink that makes you tired enough, or too drunk, you may get lucky, that you hang and won't wake up...

Sleeping pills might be the trick. Alcohol is off the table as I wanna try limit the mess I leave.
Judging by the images too, I guess trying to pass out in a sitting position, rather than on the knees will make it harder to get back up.

Less chance you have to get on your feet, the better.. Good point you got there ;-)

some people already had this idea i mentioned before

[Vehicle-assisted suicide with a nylon rope causing complete decapitation].

The present case deals with the unusual suicide method of a 36-year-old man who fastened one end of a nylon rope to a tree, guided the other end into a van through the open tailgate and placed the loop round his neck. Then he stepped on the accelerator. Before, he had marked the point on the ground where the rope would tighten. As the rope tightened complete decapitation occurred at a speed of about 35 km/h. Autopsy showed a nearly circular abrasion zone around the site of transection slightly ascending towards the nape, a fracture of the cervical spine between the 3rd and 4th vertebra and a fracture of the thoracic spine between the 7th and 8th vertebra

Man scrawls suicide note on side of van then DECAPITATES himself by tying a rope around his neck and attaching it to a fire hydrant before driving off

Any thoughts on best material to use for partial hanging? Thanks

A strong scarf, rope, chains..

 

[Arak]

A stupid question, but the rope or whatever goes above the Adam's apple or doesn't it ?

 

[blurr21]

Should the placement of the rope under the jaw be above or below the adams apple???i can feel my carotid getting compressed but cannot seem to pass out...

 

[Arak]

@blurr21,

I was thinking above, but that was basically my question !

 

[Trashcan]

Where should I place the knot? Doing full suspension. Also a female so the Adam's apple isn't prominent.

 

[Trashcan]

Is it true that sometimes people remove the rope after they lose consciousness?

Hi, i do not know how active this thread still is since the last post is of October 19. i just registered and have been reading this thread since the beginning of October. i have this sort of "hook" in my room and i'm planning on hanging myself partial suspension from there. do youguys think it will hold up? its screwed in (2 screws) the wall. for my info: i'm 18, male, 6"0 and about 76kg. sorry for any grammar mistakes english isnt my first language.

Only one way to know, grab it with both hands, and see if it holds your weight.. I may be wrong, but I doubt it will be strong enough..

Off topic but that's a really pretty hook lol

yikes, wish i could if it will break its kinda hard to tell my parents and they know what i tried to do and send me to a mental hospital. i'm not aiming for that. isnt partial hanging only using like a part of your weight aswell since your feet/heels are basicly in contact with the floor, so you dont put your full weight on the hook?

Well yes, but still, some weight would be on the hook..:)

Tying a very strong "Army issue nylon" belt around a door handle
and doing a partial suspension hanging would work wouldn't it?
