what are the reasons that you don't rope.

[kuroshimi]

I just afraid to imagine what would happen after. Or maybe I just procrastinate too much.

I still had some hope left and don't want to stop experience things. Sometimes I had periods when I feel "okay".

But I think I just scared of uncertainty (?). I don't believe in afterlife, but still afraid of nothingness. And, of course, I don't want to hurt my family and friends.

what are the main reasons stopping you from doing it right now. I'm asking because I'm looking for reasons not to rope myself.

I found my friends brother in the woods 20 years ago. He hung himself off a fallen tree. It was disgusting he was bloated.

It was traumatizing.

I would not want to traumatize anyone who would find me like that.

 

[killdozer]

Family would be sad but i doubt ive even been worth being around recently so maybe they wont be too mad, need to get revenge, I want to try hard drugs

 

[witchcraft]

Fear and uncertainty is the major one.

Two... is a bit specific, but I am a big Lord of the Rings fan, and the scene where Theoden has to bury his own son always really stuck with me. I don't want to put my parents through that, regardless of whether I'll be around to give a shit about it or not, so I'm waiting until they die.

My parents are still alive. I postponed my ctb for years because of them, but recently my health issues worsened and I cannot live with this pain and loneliness anymore. Sorry mom and dad, I tried...

 

[DonLockwood]

A genuine hope that something randomly good hops into my life, or I somehow kick my ass into gear. Also my parents, they really do love me but I just cant see a future that I want to live in. I dont want to put them in a situation where they have to bury their own son.

Its also impossible for me to get the pressure points right lol

I tried to use partial suspension hanging to kill myself about 15 years ago, as a teen. It almost worked, was totally painless, and I fainted quickly. No pain, no pressure in my head, nothing. I passed out so quickly, that I didn't feel any mental discomfort before. I woke up, and clawed the rope off my neck, terrified. The fear is an automatic response. I have no idea how it failed; I passed out completely, I did everything correctly. I had studied how to do it for half a year before trying; I took it seriously. It almost worked, but it didn't. Every day, I wish it had. Better to die as a teen than a burned out loser like me. I've kind of lost my faith in the method up until now, but will try again soon because my life is still unbearable, and I have no reprieve, none. I'm sick of this, and I'm sober so I can't drink or drug. Can't get a gun because of involuntary hospitalizations. OD doesn't work, I've tried and it's bullshit. So hanging it is.

To answer your question directly, there are plenty of reasons not to, even if you have to dig so low that the reasons relate to the act itself, distinct from positive circumstances in your life. Pain, risk of failure and the complications with that, family, friends, et cetera. Fear of hanging, fear of gunshots, fear of falling from heights, fear of judgement. Those reasons seem to scare pretty much everyone. Or maybe long-stemmed glasses, a movie, and a pleasant dream in midair? Anything can be a reason not to.

I am sorry you're in pain. This world is a nightmare.

I'm scared of surviving and becoming vegetable

 

[VegasLyra]

I'm a 36yo manchild who lives at home. I dropped out of college. I have no skills. I have no hope of a social or romantic life. I have crushing shame over things I've done and said since high school. I just want to be unconscious.

I'm a 23yo high school drop out and—i really really hope you don't take offense to this—one of the reasons i wanna end it is because I don't wanna end up even older like you and still not doing shit. But look on the bright side you could be in your 40s and 50s

You woke up? How? Was the knot not tied properly such that the rope stopped exerting pressure on your neck after you passed out?

I woke up after fainting completely. I don't know why. For partial, you use a slipknot, not something like a hangman's knot; the weight of your body applies the pressure, which should be pretty much consistent while kneeling. It's baffling to me; it literally doesn't make sense.

Oh, I get it, it's fine. This shouldn't be possible. I can't believe I let my life go this way. It took some odd attitudes from myself and I guess my dad too (he supports me).
