Help Has anyone attempted to hang themselves? Was it scary?

[deathplease]

I plan on doing full suspension in the next day or 2. I have set up a hangman's noose with a very sturdy rope and that will hang over the door frame with the door shut, with the other end tied on the doorknob on the other side of the door. I tested the rope & I'm 95% sure it will hold my weight off the door. I have no doubts about the rope itself though, it holds 300 pounds. Has anyone hung themselves before? What was it like? Was it scary? & Can anyone also gives me tips to make sure this works? I plan on drinking for courage as well. Thank you all.

I did partial with a noose but it was tied too tightly so didn't work and when I stood up I was convulsing because I only compressed the jugulars. The only reason I did try was because I absolutely had enough of everything. So if u do it make sure knot isn't tied too tight so it tightens easily around ur neck. Also, that u don't get head explody feeling. If I do it again I will use a slipknot. How come u use a noose? Is it better for full?

I believe a noose tightens easier and it can make you black out in seconds. I plan on doing full so I have less of chance of messing up and to prevent my SI from kicking in. I'm hoping once I kick the chair and black out I'll be gone. Was hanging yourself scary?

Well, there's an entire thread dedicated to this subject in the Resources section. You might find some useful information there, though will also have to tread through a bunch of misinformation and self-pitying rants by people like myself who have tried repeatedly to hang, with little or no success. Personally I have tried this method many times. I wouldn't say it was scary, but supremely uncomfortable. I plan on trying again (one last time). For me, I think the biggest source of discomfort was the placement of the knot; I kept placing the knot at the back of my neck, which was causing me to choke. When I try again, I'll be placing the knot in front, just under my chin. Best of luck to you. It makes me really feel shitty hearing other people as desperate and miserable as myself, but in a way it makes me feel less alone.

Think it's other way around. Slipknot tightens easier cuz less surface area contact within the knot but idk. If u tied it loosely the noose would work just as well I think. It was super scary. When I stood up I was convulsing and my eyes were feeling like closing and was feeling like passing out. I just got head explody feeling for about 6 seconds while I was hanging which I bad Ig means I was doing it wrong

The noose seems to tighten around my neck fairly well. I won't be hung very high but my feet won't be touching the ground. I tried a slipknot before but I might have done it wrong because it didn't tighten much. How do I avoid the head explody feeling?

Thank you, I will look at that thread. How else was it uncomfortable for you? & how do people typically fail full suspension? I don't want to end up a veggie. I would like to pad the rope as well but I'm not sure how. I appreciate all your help. I wish you the best of luck as well. I'm sorry to hear you're desperate like myself. Someday we will both be a peace, I hope.

I tried partial and it was uncomfortable, but not unbearable. I couldn't lose consciousness.

 

[Ch92921]

Yes, it is uncomfortable, but if done correctly it only last for seconds.

I also want to know if it's possible to fail full suspension even if nothing breaks. Will using a sock as padding ruin the whole thing and make me a vegetable?

Did you fail at full suspension?

 

[ShadowOfTheDay]

Did you fail at full suspension?

Twice. Both times I used a leather belt, and both times the belt broke after I had lost conciousness. One time I ended up with a black eye, and the other time just a bruised tail bone, from the fall. Lol.

 

[Nihil]

First attempt I ever did was with a belt noose. Course, it was a short drop/partial suspesion, and it wasn't really tied up all that well. Only hung for about two to three seconds before it became undone. Last year, I had properly constructed a hangman's knot with a rope noose. Had it tied up in the closet, put it around my neck, and tightened it. Standing with that thing tied around my neck, the tightness feeling felt very uncomfortable. I even dropped to my knees, but still hung onto something and could feel the pain intensifying. I abandoned that method and have since come to the decision that hanging isn't my way to go.

Did it scare me? Hell yes. Even though the belt noose was constructed poorly, that pain of being hung was probably the closest taste of death I've ever had. Well, maybe aside from playing Russian roulette. Point is, hanging ain't always instant. When you're officially hanging, the fight or flight response instantly kicks in, and it becomes rapidly terrifying as you try to helplessly undo the noose. In the case of a rope noose with a hangman's knot, that's much harder to undo while hanging considering that that type of noose tightens more and more the longer you hang. Getting a taste of that, and surviving a hanging attempt (even if it's a poorly constructed belt noose) is quite terrifying; at least for me anyways. Of course, a long drop hanging may also be much more instant, though I've never tried that. For me, I personally wouldn't recommend hanging just due to the type of pain you could experience while dying, and depending on how you hang yourself, it may not be instant unconciousness. And if you're discovered by someone before you officially die, or the noose somehow comes undone after losing conciousness and your body is still alive, the threat of brain damage and becoming a vegetable for life is very real.

Can a properly tied knot come undone?

 

[Volomori83]

Can a properly tied knot come undone?

In all my tests and practices, I've never seen the slipknot so much as slacken slightly, let alone come undone. That's not to it never could, but I'm confident enough it won't.

 

[Nihil]

Can a properly tied knot come undone?

I'm not 100% sure because it depends on the type of knot you use for the noose. For a properly tied hangman's knot with strong enough rope, I'd say there's no way it could become undone by accident or random chance. That type of knot tightens and gets stronger the more you hang. Even having that knot around your neck while not hanging (like standing), you will find that it's actually quite difficult to loosen up and get it off your neck. I don't know the reliability of other knots like the slipman's knot seeing as how I've never tried them, but another factor to take into consideration is how strong the supporting structure is to hold a noose. If your body weight is stronger than what the supporting structure can hold, then it will collapse and you will completely fall to the ground.

 

[Welcumtotherealworld]

Thank you both for your kind replies.

 

[Dead beat dad]

Yes I have tried both with slip knot and noose.
Painful; yes
Scary; yes
I sometimes revisit this idea and I think if I was going to try again, I would make less painful and scary but doing practice.
Get used to trying and untying knots, try to get used to having rope around neck. Do a few 'dry runs' make the method part of the overall process so it becomes less of a focus.
Good luck friend, I wish you have no pain in any form and you find what you look for.

I tried partial hanging two times. The survival instinct is so incredibly hard to overcome. I wish you luck, but if you succeed I'll miss you. I've seen you around the forums a bit and I'll miss you.

 

[DepressionsAHo]

The only way in which you're gonna end up failing at full hanging is if you end up like Stewie. Might take a while and it might hurt but you'll die eventually if nothing breaks and you don't stop

 

[Sarainia Angelsong]

Well I've tried, but I can't find a high enough horizontal pole, or a strong enough material that doesn't stretch, cuz I certainly don't own rope, all I have is clothes and scarves, and we talking female clothes, as in not really strong, they very stretchy! So When I have attempted before due to low bar height and the sketchiness, Unfortunately my knees can touch the ground so far so unless I find a way to go from knees to feet then to full suspension in air I think I will have a very tough situation to sort out in order to CTB!

 

[YukiFox]

And I think that hanging was the easier method to pass away... apparently not. :(

 

[Sarainia Angelsong]

True and if I go in a store and get wood and rope and nails, that's gonna be a tough one to explain I'm building something other than a suicide contraption, cuz I have no clue what projects use those supplies cuz nothing good comes of those materials together as a whole, but I could just jokingly say "gallows" in some weird accent and cough and say oh Grandfather Clock... and I'm no stretch an engineer to make 100% sure even the end contraption is strong enough even!

 

[deathplease]

Thank you everyone for your kind words and your help. I'm incredibly desperate to be with my infant son who is waiting for me back home. I'm going to try hanging again tonight and as long my SI doesn't kick in I'll be gone. If that doesn't work I will jump. I honestly have nothing to lose.
