robin williams and chester: i think i finally got a good understanding of how hanging works

[SufferingInDenmark]

I can pretty clearly feel it at the top of my neck when looking up. Its different for different people

do you feel the blood pumping "heavier" in certain spots than other spots?
but i guess i shouldn't worry about that, because the rope will tighten enough to block the artery anyway... at least i hope

I was trying for real. As i started to loose my vision my si kicked in and made me stand up, i didnt choose to :(

exactly, i had heard about the vision thing before, that's why i asked.
damn.
after how many seconds would you say you gave it before SI made you get up?

and i hope your vision is a 100% back now and no permanent trouble from the experience?

Yes i do but it doesnt really matter with this. You need to have the rope and test different locations on your neck to see which one is comfortable to you and makes you pass out. Its really not too complicated.

it might be what i do in the future.
i'm about to watch that compilation of partial hanging videos that somebody posted in here.
it always makes us learn ten times better to actually see something visually

It was around the 10 second mark. I wasnt timing it but i was listening to music and can sort of tell by that

and i hope your vision is a 100% back now and no permanent trouble from the experience?

The vision loss was because i was passing out. There is no damage at all. You would need to be hanging for at least a couple of minutes to get any permanent damage.

I have read a few different accounts where folks have said they are more successful with losing consciousness faster with their heads facing upwards. I've never personally tried it but it might be something to consider if you're going to "practice."

I think so long as you've got the ligature just under your jawline, you should get your carotids even if you can't feel it with your hands. It shouldn't crush your trachea there.

I will not practice. I am terrified I will like it too much and it'll become a problem. I am actively trying not to CTB so I don't want to flirt with death. But all the power to the people who are able to practice for when it comes time. At least then you'll be more confident of success.

Ive tried this. for me it just makes it way more uncomfortable on my wind pipe and neck. When i Look down I start feeling dizzy and lightheaded almost instantly. I guess its different for different people.

chat GPT just told me this:

If you block the arteries way up high on the neck—where the internal and external carotid arteries are—you can seriously reduce blood flow to the brain, leading to loss of consciousness or even brain damage if the blockage lasts too long.
What Happens When These Arteries Are Blocked?

Temporary blockage (like choking or pressure)

If pressure is applied to both carotid arteries (like in a chokehold or strangulation), the brain is starved of oxygen.

This can cause dizziness, confusion, vision problems, or loss of consciousness within seconds.

If the pressure is released quickly, blood flow returns, and the person usually recovers.

Prolonged blockage (strangulation, stroke, or injury)

If blood supply is cut off for several minutes, the brain cells start dying (this is basically how a stroke happens).

This can lead to permanent brain damage or death if oxygen is deprived for too long.

Carotid sinus reflex (fainting risk!)

There's a sensitive area called the carotid sinus (near where the common carotid splits).

If you press too hard on it (even accidentally, like from a tight collar or sudden neck pressure), it can trigger a reflex that slows the heart rate, causing fainting (vasovagal syncope).

This is why some martial arts chokes work so fast—they stimulate this reflex and cause a quick blackout.

So, in summary:

Brief pressure = dizziness, fainting.

Longer pressure = unconsciousness, possible brain damage.

Too long = life-threatening due to lack of oxygen to the brain.

This is Grok's advice for me. I am going with full suspension so disregard the pain bit and drop height ~ it is not relevant for you.

Otherwise just some points on the reason why carotid is the target and why it is important to avoid the trachea ~ which is relevant for partial as well.

i had to use a trick to get chat gpt to tell me this info lol, did yours just straight up advice you without any hesitation?
idk if i'm just tired, but a lot of that text in the screenshot was very confusing to me.
may i ask what you plan to use as an anchor point if you are going full suspension?

I'm with you. The guides here can be confusing.

Yes sorry the reason Grok is talking so weird is because it's a long conversation and at the beginning I had to break through the code a little bit. Had to get it to agree suicide is a human right etc

I will be in a forest at night so just a tree branch - no need to overthink that bit (I hope).

I'm with you. The guides here can be confusing.

Yes same here.

The ones I found on this site and the answers to questions in the comments conflicted so much which is why I relied on myself more.

i see.
oh ok. what country are you in, if i may ask?
you dont need to say it, it just interests me about the locations of people on here.

i also just had a relatively long conversation with chat gpt to confirm/debunk some of the things i had read on here...
and it seems most of it was true. regarding how to get the hanging right.

now i only need to watch those partial hanging videos to finally get a full understanding.
which made me cry the last time that i saw the full suspension ones... but i guess i gotta watch it, to learn,
so that if i attempt partial hanging, i will not mess up.

Glad you have found some help here.

I am from an English speaking country in Western Europe. You can probably guess. Rather not be any more specific. How about yourself?

gotcha. im from denmark, copenhagen... the capitol.
so yeah anyway, but i appreciate all the help.
the thread here can continue, don't hold back guys.
i'm personally off to bed tho lol
----------------------
i have one last thing i'm curious about... the woman who made the partial hanging megathread seems to advice against doing it only partial.
she says full suspension is a better chance of death.

my question is... with partial hanging, you can still breathe. but what about full suspension, is it the same thing?
probably not, right?
and why do you think she recommends full suspension? is it only due to the potential problem of survival instinct?
or other factors too?

It's the same principal as the night night method except you use your body weight instead of a winch to cut off bloodflow through the carotid arteries.
