Partial is easier to plan for but I think full suspension is the superior method if you have a suitable location and anchor point.

You could always do a practice run with partial and move onto full suspension when you are ready.

I think that full is more reliable and has higher success rate.

Partial is painless and quick.
Source: I tried but I was rescued.
Trust me I felt 0 pain or discomfort. But that may not be the case for everyone. I tried it again a couple of days back and I had a really bad gag reflex. I must practice a lot.
Full suspension can feel less uncomfortable of you have a really thick ligature. That's the same with partial. I used a scarf to hang myself.
But let me tell you this..a failed attempt can leave you traumatized. It's going to be one year(almost) and I'm still not fully recovered even with therapy and meds. So be careful of that.
In conclusion, yes. Partial hanging is reliable despite the controversy. A lot of ss members CTB using partial.
Plus if someone is scared of hanging, aea can be a good option but it may not be a pleasant sight for the people who rescue.

I'm thinking of CTBing by suspension or partial hanging via my wardrobe or closet which gives me some privacy and has a clothes rod I can use as an anchor point. The only problem is whether it can hold my weight or not. I read about how Robin Williams (bless him!) used a similar method.

Ther are numrous, frequent posts about partial failing- it does work sometimes, but based on posts it is a small percentage of the time- when it does work it may be more peaceful than full. Full seems to work most of the timje, and if it fails it is typically becauswe someone heard them or walked in on them and rescued them. WIth partial it is very common that people pass out and stand up and it doesn't work and they can't try again for w while because their next hurts for days afterwards.

I was supposed to attend school the next day. So my mom walked in to tell me that I should sleep. That was when she saw me having convulsions.

If your parents care about you even some you may want to give them a chance to care and to help you- it really depends on your situation- I am always skeptical of someone ctb-ing when they still live with their parents because then they are likely so young that there are still lots of ways to turn their lives around if only they could see what they are.
Full hanging or partial hanging which is better?
Full seems to be much more reliable and partial seems to be much more peaceful when it works, but it fails very often. All methods have plusses and minuses and it usually takes a lot of research and a lot of time to settle on a method, which also gives a person time to consider whether ctb is the right thing for them. Less than 5% of attempts overall work, according to u.s. statistics, and failed attempts can cause damage, I personally have a very strong opinion that for people under 25 ctb is rarely the best option- even under 30. The farther a person gets along in life the less chance there is to turn things around.

I've had that happen more than one time…person gets in right when I was tying the noose, or it was my fucking head touching the answer button and they heard me gagging…

if I can coincide to be "saved" why can't I coincide to die? fuck.

oh, I used the curtain rail as an attachment spot once and the rail motherfucking broke from my body weight. it's still lying on my floor now. I've not had day-time privacy for four months (funny, not funny). I can't believe I'm that heavy, when everyone's tryna force-feed me once in a while.

I have stories. all stories. O. Henry should ask me 'bout how to write them novels. /s

Don't do it if there is someone else in the house. If you can't be alone then somewhere secluded like the woods is an option. Bonus of having tree branches for possible anchor points. Make sure to test the branch strength if you choose this route.

Yeah I'll try and do that. When I gain enough trust I might fake going on a holiday and CTB.

Do you think thicker the rope, more the success rate? I've been analyzing this for a year now and from what I concluded thin ropes couldn't contract the carotid much due to less diameter. The thicker ropes in the other hand, due to larger surface area, tends to contract the artery perfectly.

I am going to ctb by full suspension and expect some pain but I do hope that it won't be botched.

Use a thicker rope and it should have minimal discomfort.

What? is this true? the thinner the rope the less likely the carotid will be compressed?

Thin rope should work but comfort really suffers. It can dig into the neck, basically higher psi on the skin. Thicker rope spreads the force over more skin, less psi.
With full, you have enough weight to pull you down and tighten the slip knot. That is what makes you pass out. After that, time finishes what you started.
Make sure you have at least 30 minutes alone after you hang.

What do you think in terms on pain levels or this vs jumping?
