Help Still struggling....wondering if padding makes it worse or if it helps

[cookiencream]

Been trying for a while, I think I'll take a little break for my neck, just in case that's making it harder for me. I can only seem to hit jugulars, so I'm assuming it's a pressure problem? From what I see on diagrams they're pretty close. Idk how people practice and get it so easily...I mean I think the problem may be the rope not tightening enough so I switch knots and it seems to tighten around my arm better (haven't tried it on the neck because I'm giving it a break) I think padding may or may not help with the pressure problem but I see some people that say it makes it less effective.

Not anymore...I'm doing partial suspension

It was my preferred method too... before I found out anagram opted to hang himself, full suspension.

I wanna do that too but I have no access to rope that could hold my body weight. Partial is my only option now yet it's so dang hard to practice.

It isn't option for me too. Wish there were more available ways to escape my dreadful and miserable existence.

Exactly, I'm so jealous of people who die accidentally or peacefully. I wish I could give my life for theirs. I bet they'd appreciate it more

I envy those that got their hands on N. It's truly the pinnacle of all methods. I wish it was that easy to escape my suffering.

I don't recommend using any type of padding; it only gets in the way and makes compression difficult if the material is too thick.

Perhaps the position you are using is not correct or your anchor point is too low and you are not applying enough weight.

Be careful when you practice. Don't do it for too long. As soon as you feel your vision blurring/darken or you feel too "light", it's best to stop.

This video is very interesting. The info can be used for both things: being cautious with the practice, and for an attempt.



To be safe, it's good if you can easily release the ligature, or if the rope releases from the anchor point. Never have everything tied perfectly for practice.

In this post AreWeWinning makes a good explanation.

This is the main failure point with partial. You need to lean into it like you mean it. Then hold it.
Try a pillow case on your head. It is a bit calming and is easier on the neck.
