I already have everything I need in order to attempt FSH.

Anchor point: metallic bunk bed/wooden school gym bars I have in my basement.

Ligature: Random rope I found in my garden: (5mm)

Image
(It's a little over a meter long, my body weight is 70kg)

Certainty of not being found in at least 30 minutes: 100% since I'll be alone at home and will lock both the front door and the door to the room i'm going to be attempting in.

Am I missing anything? Feedback would be appreciated. Thinking on attempting either tomorrow or on Monday, but this is just a guess, it'll most certainly be postponed into the future.

Also can I get a clear say on how painful it'll be? thanks.

5 mm is a very thin rope, it would not be pleasant to use it for an attempt, it would penetrate very deep into the neck and hurt.

You need the rope to be a little thicker and have a little more area to apply pressure and make the process more comfortable. Between 10 and 14 mm will be fine.

Remember that tying knots consumes a lot of rope, I don't think a meter will be enough.

Buy a rope like that one that is braided and not twisted. You can choose polyester or polypropylene which are strong materials. Ropes are usually sold in 10 meter lengths and are affordable. Then you can cut it when you have everything ready.

Don't rush into the attempt, it's better to have everything under control and test everything first.

Ive tested the length part and I'm pretty sure it's long enough.

Regarding the pain tho, what if I use padding to make it more bearable? Also, doesn't a thinner rope cause faster LOC? And even if it is more painful it doesn't make the potential attempt less lethal right?

Thanks for the reply by the way.

So there's partial suspension?
I thought the 2 types of hanging were short drop hanging and long drop hanging.

drop hanging is pretty obsolete. Partial is when your body is touching the ground but weight is still being applied to the neck. Full suspension is when you're fully suspended and not touching the ground so that all of your body weight is being held up by the neck.

Not only to make the pain more bearable, but to cause a faster loss of consciousness due to more accurate pressure on the carotid arteries.

If you didn't know that, I suggest making more research on this method, as this forum has discussed it thoroughly for a long time.

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm tired of researching.

So basically padding will make it more bearable and effective at making me lose consciousness. Ok perfect. I think I'm ready to attempt then.

Why do you want to die?

Are you over 18? (Asking because of cartoon avatar and mentioning people not finding you for 30 minutes.)

Also the rope found in garden is slightly sus because an adult would typically go to a store and just buy a rope rather than scouring a garden.

No offense of you are over 18.

The question would be why I don't want to die 😭

As for the cartoon avatar, site admins have anime and AI generated images as their pfps so I don't know how that would make you suspect I'm under 18, and I'm not sure I know what you mean with the not being found in 30 minutes thing. I live with my parents and siblings since I'm in uni so I gotta plan around that in order to be alone for at least 30 minutes.

It's more convenient if I don't have to go to the store to buy a rope and the one in my garden seems good enough (I didn't scour for it, it was literally just there holding something in place).

No offense of you are over 18.
Nah I get it, it's better to be overly cautious than to not suspect anyone at all of being under 18 and then being partially responsible for a minor's suicide.

Okay, that makes sense.

I know you say the question would be why don't you want to die, so I get everything is awful.

For me, I have an injury after an assault, am lonely and it's pretty much impossible for me to feel comfortable during sex, and the lonliness makes me sad and thus i have a hard time doing basic things in society. I also was so depressed as a result of the lonliness that I wasn't able to do much in life.

Usually there is some sort of reason why someone wants to die, but I understand not wanting to share it.

Sorry things are so difficult. I am not sure if you are still here or have already attempted or are gone.

I'm really sorry you have to go through that. Life can truly be brutal sometimes. What are your plans for the future regarding your situation?

I don't really think I can pinpoint one singular reason. Suicide feels like a solution to the sum of all the combined bs life has to offer, and to me it seems like a pretty good solution.

For my situation, I am not sure. (Removed long reply part here.)

If you are in college, college can be hard and unfun. Sometimes people who are working feel better. I guess when I see someone still in school, I wonder if planning to die makes sense at that young age when things could change or could be changed.

I don't know, maybe they could, but currently I believe that even if they did life isn't worth living anyways.

Right, but if you were having major depressive disorder while in college it could bias your view of whether the future is worth it. And yes, everything is subjective in a way, but your current self may not accurately view how your future self could see things if not depressed.

You could take a year off, go teach English in Japan, do something to really shake things up, and then come back to studies later...

I had wanted to be dead as a child but even as a young person I gaslit myself that things would be better once i'm an adult. Nope. Just entered late 30s. And whilst I've had some few good spells here and there (mostly distractions), if someone offered a easy, clean, painless, for sure way to go; I'd take it up in a heartbeat (I've even reflected on that on good days, on days that I'd actually had fun or been happy - I'd still take up that chance). The only thing keeping me around is I'm too chicken to attempt, and perpetually gaslighting myself.

Butttt of course a disclaimer - I'm not encouraging anyone to off themselves young; just telling my story.
Interestingly enough, college for me was one of my better times.

There's loads of evidence in the recovery forum (and many "bestselling authors" or whatever have recovered and are helping others recover) so idk; for some people it's permanent, for some no. And accepting that "life = suffering" or "making the most out of the one life you got" or whatever. I do agree though to rough it out till you have your own money, but that's a whole different shithole in itself which honestly, again, for some is worth living for, others - not so much

Not really. Why should someone be able to put into words the reason why they dislike living? To comfort someone else's logical thinking?
This question always sound rude, even if it's not the intention.

You may be right, I'm not naturally socially graceful.



It's also fine to decline to answer a question, right? Sorry if I am seeming like a pro-lifer or being inappropriate. Maybe I should take a break from SaSu for a while.

Do you know how much weight that rope can hold? Please make sure its strong enough. Imagine you hang fully and after 2-4 minutes the rope will tear apart and then you'll be brain damaged. For full hanging everything should be secure, very secure.
Maybe ask ai what material the rope is.
Could you order a rope online? Amazon has perfect ropes for this Methode.

hey I see you trying to help a lot and I don't think it comes across as pro-life platitudes at all I think you're just genuinely trying.

I'm trying to take a break from this place for a while too (good job, me :meh:) i don't think it would be a bad idea if you feel a bit exasperated from it.

I mean, at the end of the day you're trying to help someone.
Just because me and other users (I can't say about OP) would never accept your attempt of helping (sorry if it sounds rude), it doesn't mean all others users are the same.

Maybe I should take a break from SaSu for a while.
Maybe it would be better if you started posting on the Recovery section?

Even if I can't accept someone's attempt at helping me I won't chastise them because what they're doing doesn't have a bad intention behind it.

Yeah, Ive thought about this and your point seems sound, but truthfully if I do "get better" in the future it won't change the brutal truth: life is pointless and death doesn't really have any genuine bad side to it (unless you're religious and think suicide is a sin, which is not the case for me since i'm atheist).
Maybe ask ai what material the rope is.
Could you order a rope online? Amazon has perfect ropes for this Methode.
Seems to be a synthetic fabric of sorts. Maybe nylon or polyester. I know I could buy one but I really just wanna get this over with. Also some videos show people who probably weigh more than me using a scarf as the ligature.
BY THE WAY GUYS THE ROPE ISNT 5mm THICK ITS MORE LIKE 6-7mm THICK

Certainly people have used all kinds of materials in videos and have succeeded.

But why take the risk and do something hasty so soon? You're being impulsive, that's not good.

Padding the neck with something only hinders the ligature's penetration and compression. It's something I wouldn't use.

The rope needs some area to apply good pressure. And not only that, also a knot that self-tightens when weight is applied (Arbor Knot, for example) is also necessary.

And the correct position of the ligature is also crucial for rapid unconsciousness. It shouldn't be placed anywhere on the neck.
The ligature should be placed under the jaw, approximately at the level of the hyoid bone. This is where the carotid arteries are most exposed and where compression is most easy. And the ligature knot goes behind the neck in the center.

📌 'How to locate the carotid arteries?'

📌 Ligature position, drawing + forensic photo showing the neck furrow from rope

Why not take the time to get better materials (where you'll be more comfortable), and have tested everything and practiced beforehand? All of this will give you confidence and ensure that when the time comes to make the attempt, you will do it successfully.

Only think about the attempt when you are 100% sure and have no doubts.

A thin rope is very suitable if you double it. You only have to form one big loop around your horizontal bar (anchor point). You can connect the two ends of the rope for example with an overhand loope knot, the most simple and secure knot. The lady on the attached foto shows how a noose is formed this way.
