Before I begin, I just want to tell the moderator that I won’t be making posts which go against the posting rules. Tomorrow morning, I will be making another attempt to hang myself. I was going to do it today but I realised that someone might come home early. This would not have been good for me. I am hoping that I will not be stopped by my fear of the pain. That was what stopped me in my first attempt. Admittedly, I felt quite disheartened by my paralyzing fear and I did not try again for several days afterwards. However, I realise now that the pain is part of the road to success. I read an older post on this website where the poster describes the pain as being ‘horrific’. That is not encouraging. Does anyone here experience this crippling fear?

Strangulation hanging is a painful way to go. I can feel the pressure in my eyeballs just thinking about it. That’s why execution type hangings actually drop the person far enough to break their neck, which ends their life right away if all the calculations were correct.
There are three types of hanging, long drop which should break one’s neck, short drop where the individual is strangled, and partial suspension where, hopefully, the blood supply to the brain is cut and you pass out before dying. Of the three, the short drop is by far the worse as once started it’s 5 to 10 minutes of terrible pain before peace. I don’t know about partial as I’ve just tested it before panicking but at least I have some control. Please think hard this night to see if it’s what you really want, I hope you stay with us, we’ll always listen to you on this site.
Are you 100% sure it takes one 5 to 10 minutes to become unconscious in short drop hanging? I thought it only took a minute for one to pass out. I think partial suspension hanging is too easy to back out of. I have thought this through. I would not want to be impulsive when I am trying to do something this risky.
It depends on how much you struggle, your body will uncontrollably and involuntary try to do whatever it takes to get oxygen, unless your hands are tied you’ll pull at the rope around your kneck, it’ll be a scary way to go; there are a lot of reports of people who were hanged in UK up to the 18th century using short drop and who lasted sometime, choking until, perhaps, a relative or friend grab their legs and pulled to put them out of their misery, even long drop can fail in killing straight away, just warning you.
I see. I’ll try to solve this problem by tying my hands so that they don’t interfere. Thanks for the warning though. I hope I lose consciousness soon enough .
It’ll all be down to the rope cutting the blood supply to the brain, is it worth the risk to do this. What’s caused you to make a desicion like this, is it depression or something that’s happened, you don’t have to talk about it but please think about it tonight. This site can help you to live as well as to die if you want it.
It is worth it if I succeed. I have thought about it during the night and I still want to do it.
Pretty much if your arteries are closed you’ll pass out in a few seconds but surely the body struggles on in an effort to save you, for quite some time.
It took me about a minute to pass out. When it happened I saw evil things and had a bad vibe. I woke up scratching at my neck, trying to get out of the rope. I’ve never tired after that.. It’s painful and scary.
I hope that doesn’t happen to me.
I’ve read many people have tried to hang themselves as suicidal survivors. They say it’s very painful. Your eyes will tend to feel like they are popping out of your head and the pain will last for a while. Some fail but also depending on what you use to hang yourself. It seems very painful for what you want to do. I hope you stay a live another day. You’ve seem very planned but then scared of it. I believe we want to die because we want the pain to end. So I don’t believe you want more pain added on and not this way. If you do choose to commit suicide I hope you do it differently then hanging yourself or not at all.
However, if the pain is temporary isn’t it worth? I wanted to try h2s but the risk of it affecting other people is too high for me to risk it.
It is now time, I have to set everything up now. Wish me luck.
Please don’t.
