NSFW What's your experience with hanging?

[Doll Steak]

I've attempted hanging in the past, But the best I could get was a black out for a couple of minutes. It was the strangest experience. It was the morning, I got dressed and just thought why not, I relaxed into the loop I had already set up, closed my eyes and all I remember was my ears ringing then nothing. I slowly gained back consciousness despite the belt still being tied around my neck and as I wearily opened my eyes I remember auditory hallucinations like incoherent yelling and past conversations playing in my ears, I swear I even heard a "get up!" being yelled. Slowly there after my brain all within 1 second was just like "Holy shit your dying" and then I instinctively stood up, my body, hands especially were all tingly and my vision and senses began restoring. It was not how I imagined it but it was also strangely comforting and reassuring. I never imagined I could hallucinate like that.

Unfortunately, I never had an 'experience' experience. Only ever managed to somewhat painfully cut off or put pressure on my air-ways instead of my arteries. Partial hanging is really hard.

Do you think you had 'jerked' around or moved prior to gaining back conscious?

Do you think you had 'jerked' around or moved prior to gaining back conscious?

No I don't think I did, I just slowly opened my eyes and then it all came back. The reason I even woke up was likely just cause it was a bad setup, l wasn't even suspended in the air, I had it tied to my closets clothing rack and I was just slouching into the knot. I could still breathe prior to blacking out but I was holding my breath, then when I lost consciousness my bodies instinct to keep me alive probably took over, and I began breathing. Oh and that's something I didn't mention, that when I first woke up I was wheezing and coughing very quietly.

If you would have hanged full you would probably be dead now.

I really would have, and my family would have found me, its so fucking weird to imagine that.

I keep attempting partial hanging, and it always progresses to the point where my vision starts to darken and my body feels incredibly weak, but I never actually lose consciousness or experience convulsions. I believe I'm either not applying pressure to the correct location, or not using enough force, because it begins to choke me out if I try to increase the pressure on the rope past a certain point, which might be because of the rope itself. I suspect, at this stage, I subconsciously think of it as a method for reducing my suicidal ideations, rather than an actual attempt at suicide, though I honestly don't know.
