I tried hanging myself with a shoelace just now. I wasn’t off the ground, it was tied around my door handle and the other end my neck while I sat on the ground. I’ve even seen a successful video on this being done and I don’t understand why mine wasn’t successful. Anyway, I could barely breathe and I could feel myself getting lightheaded and my ears even felt weird like almost numb, but I sat there for a very long ass time and did not pass out or die. Wth! Can anyone explain why this could have failed? It was not bc I didn’t wait long enough I promise and I’m sure it was tight enough. I was also limp so I was pulling hard on it and there is now a highly visible mark from where the shoelace was. Btw, it’s my 17th birthday…I’m really alone.

You need to lift yourself off the ground and a shoelace is not strong enough for that. Get a stronger rope and hang it from the rafters then kick out the chair beneath you and you’ll be dead is no time. good luck.
Thank you so much. 🙂
Hey here, I cannot truly say why your attempt failed as I am not fully informed off all you did. Please give yourself a bit more time to just think and see things through. If you need any help or need someone to talk to I am definitely here for you. You don’t have to be alone and maybe this is not how things are suppose to be.
I do acknowledge your birthday. I will not say “happy birthday” becuase I understand you are not and in definitely in a low point in life.
It failed because it’s God’s way of telling you it’s not time yet. Happy Birthday by the way 🙂
You are too young to give up already. Feeling like this is horrible, I feel like ending it too sometimes but I’m holding on hoping things get better. I hope things get better for you, your so young that there is so much time still left for things to turn around for you for the better.
Not sure why your attempt failed. There are various opinions on how the placement of the rope and knot affect the outcome. Maybe the reason is there. I dont think discussion of methods is allowed here anyway.
I’m so sorry you’re going through something this horrible. On your birthday no less. Please don’t try again today, if at all possible. The longer you can postpone it, the better. I know it may seem odd that people on a suicide site hope you survive and stay alive, but it is sad to see young people on the edge. Makes me wish they’d give themselves another chance. Sorry to be so unhelpful.
It didn’t work because it wasn’t meant to. Never give up on life, no matter how bad it is. Ever. Please.
