Story Just failed. Partial suspension

[Oanlads]

I just tried partial suspension hanging.

I made myself pass out by hyperventilating and my whole body was suspended firmly by a rope.
I don't remember passing out but the moment I became conscious? I was suffocating so badly and although I was only partially suspended I couldn't find my feet and I knocked down a lot of stuff around me. Plus it was very hard to loosen the noose as it was slipnot.
I apparently bit my lip badly so there was a lot of blood and my thumb now hurts so badly as there's bleeding under the nail. Also apparently as I dropped unconscious all my weight went onto the neck and now there's a red mark, skin is peeling off and it is very sore.

When I became "conscious" whilst being suspended, I was in a sheer panic and it was my survival instinct trying to save myself as I was still not fully conscious and didn't know what I was doing.

Does anybody know how to possibly remain unconscious till it gets done after making yourself pass out by hyperventilating?

Or is it just safer to follow the common instructions for partial suspension hanging and close the arteries and drop unconscious so you would most likely not wake up?

Sounds traumatic :(

 

[anuglymale]

Have you damaged any part of your body except your lip? Don't you get any side effects from passing out and then waking up ?

 

[Oanlads]

Doesn't this mean that I couldn't compress my carotid arteries even with my whole weight ? And I think it's fair to say that I was suspended for good ten seconds ish considering how I bled and my blood was scattered and that.
The knot was on the back of my neck slightly to the left ish.

Does anyone have any advice ?
Should I give it another go or just try normal partial suspension hanging and hope I pass out by the compression of arteries ?

 

[DoneFighting]

How did you SI save you? We're your feet completely off the ground? This is my biggest fear.

 

[Oanlads]

It was rather terrifying at the very moment when I was trying to get the knot undone. But I am perfectly fine giving it another go as I don't even remember suffering too much ?
I think it was just my survival instinct forcing my consciousness back so I was still not so entirely conscious that I don't quite remember the pain?

 

[Oanlads]

So far my neck has been sore and the red bits don't seem to go away but only on the skin. I was wearing a turtle neck and a polo shirt with the collar up underneath so two layers to prevent the burn but apparently it didn't work too well.

And my thumb was somehow caught in between the rope and my neck ? Although I don't remember hurting it at all. So it's bleeding under the nail.

So apart from the thumb nail, neck skin and my lip I haven't noticed anywhere else I damaged and no I haven't noticed any side effects either. But I feel very awake and clear in the head. So i honestly feel bettter than before I did it

I was only partially suspended so I could just stand up to release the tension of the rope but as I used the slipnot and it tightened quite hard, I was still strangled after I stood up. I thought it might be impossible to undo the knot but eventually I did it.

It was probably because I hadn't much clue what was going on when I woke up so even though I was only partially suspended I acted as if I was fully suspended if that makes sense. So it was hard to get back on my feet too

 

[Oanlads]

The neck burn is only visible on the right side of my neck (front) so there was probably not enough pressure on the left side to compress the other artery?

Do you think I might successfully compress my carotid arteries and stay unconscious if I just make sure of the position of the knot and rope ? So the knot goes right on the back and rope should be placed right above my Adam's apple ?

 

[DoneFighting]

I believe it should be placed higher up on the neck. There was a discussion about bean bags on the side of the neck to increase pressure to the arteries but I think they were talking about using the night night method. The goal is to cut off blood supply not air supply because your body panics more. I've failed at hanging so many times. Jumped back on the ladder a few times and too scared to step of the chair a couple of times.

I guess I would place it higher and also tighten it till it doesn't seem to move about anymore before hyperventilating the next time !

I don't even have bean bags but what is the night night method if you don't mind explaining a bit ?

Full suspension sounds scary and yet reliable. only if I had somewhere to do that in my condo which I don't...

 

[DoneFighting]

Do you have an attic access? I hung mine from the rafters. You could use socks too it's supposed to put more pressure on your arteries.

 

[Oanlads]

Noo I don't.
That sounds good. I might have to look into it

Your thumb tried to remove the rope.
If you make yourself pass out with anything other than carotid compression, you should make sure your carotids are nevertheless compressed properly by the rope.
You can always wake up. You could just try again hoping you don't wake up next time.
How did you knock down stuff around you? With your hands? it is important to avoid this as it can alert people. You could cuff your hands with hand cuffs that can be opened (if you do have to abort the attempt) but not too easily.
Do you know if you made noise suffocating? This could alert neighbors as well.

 

[NoEasyWayOut]

Wow, that sucks... The furthest I've got with this method was standing with the slipknot around my neck and about to release all weight down.. and never actually doing it. I can imagine how frustrating it is when you hace the guts to go through the whole process and still no success after fainting. Good thing that you know you're able to do it though!
I've read about people who used soap or oil to make the floor surface slippery, thus being unable to stand back up.. Maybe it would help?

 

[Dog Food]

That sounds awful. I've tried with this method many times and never been able to actually get to passing out, I always panic, which sucks because it usually leaves bruises. I think this method is overrated because it sounds so simple but in reality it's really hard to overcome the survival instinct and pass out. The only time I nearly succeeded with this method was two months ago with a combined overdose on benzos and MAOI antidepressants. Unfortunately I was found by a roommate and now have brain damage.

Thanks for the advice.
When I woke up my legs were convulsing as if they couldn't touch the floor so I knocked them down with my legs. But they can be easily moved and they're only there since I didn't expect that to happen so I'll make sure to do as you say the next time.

I really should of been more careful with the placing and positioning of the knot and rope...
thank god I didn't damage my neck or anything else further than I did.

Hopefully I'll try again tomorrow and it wouldn't end up as an attempt

And the noose was so tight at the moment I woke up so I couldn't even make any noise

I am sorry to hear what happened to you.

I totally agree. It's nowhere near as easy as people say...

And I was the same, I didn't even get close to passing out when I just tried to compress my arteries by partial suspension aiming for unconsciousness. That's why I tried making myself faint by the method used in the pass out challenge this time. Which didn't completely work out either...

I feel you.

That sounds like a good idea too in order to prevent myself from saving myself but I honestly couldn't be bothered with all the preparation... and I have ocd and hate mess so...I'll probably figure another way about

 

[Oanlads]

I looked into the bean bag thing (you compress the arteries using a ratchet or gorilla tape?) and it's interesting and would be the perfect way to do it except that I really don't think it'd work.

I've been through a lot of suicide reports online but never come across anyone that died by that method. Think it's rather like a theoretical idea than a practical one.

What's your opinion on that method ?

 

[Oanlads]

Also do you lot reckon that I'd be passed out for longer or reach slightly deeper unconsciousness if I spent more time hyperventilating ?

If the hanging doesn't work, you will most likely wake up in every attempt regardless how much you hyperventilate.

 

[essbet]

Yeah I'd say skip the hyperventilation part, it gives you no indication if the circulation has really stopped properly or not.

Though if you'd lost control of your body then it definitely had, at least partially.

 

[21Neberg]

I think the fact that you woke up is proof that you didn't properly close off both arteries, because oxygen was still getting to your brain.

 

[Oanlads]

I can't make myself pass out by hyperventilating this time...
Wonder what I'm doing different from the last time

 

[Vaa]

I think you should pass out from compressing the arteries not just hyperventilating

 

[Oanlads]

I think you should pass out from compressing the arteries not just hyperventilating

I know and that's what I was trying first.
However since my arteries are possibly too imbedded, I can't compress them perfectly no matter how I try it.

I can't ever seem to achieve it with my legs bent, so I tried in a standing position but then my legs start shaking first before I reach unconsciousness.
So I kinda figured I either pass out before even compressing my arteries or I'll have to go all the way and block the airway as well which I don't think I can bare...

Any advice on reaching unconsciousness just by the compression of arteries?

 

[Moldova_3k]

Most people practice with it till find exactly where the arteries are. Some folks seem to get lucky. But, if I recall reading some posts here, you have to put all the weight on it at once.

I think I've already practiced a lot but you're probably right.

Should you be facing the walls or down at the floor?
I suppose there'll be more presses on the front of your neck if you're suspended with your face down but I guess you could only achieve that in a lying position?

Also, I'm not sure if you've seen the video where they ran a test on a girl to warn people about the danger of asphyxiation, girl was simply leaning forwards whilst standing up and quickly fell unconscious and guys held her up.
I cannot be sure what type of ligature they were using but do you have any clue how she managed that whilst only a bit of her weight was on her neck ?

 

[Oanlads]

Wouldn't it be missing the point of partial suspension hanging if you put all your weight down at once ?? As in the point being to reach unconsciousness before your airway gets blocked and you suffocate
