Help anchor point question

[muu]

my current anchor point is about an arms length above my head. i'm a bit nervous that it'll not be enough and that i'll suffer, so i guess the question im asking is, how long should the actual rope length be, or does it not matter all that much?

i'm fairly certain that the anchor point will hold my weight, i'm just concerned about if it'll be enough to be a "comfortable" death i guess?

any answers help, even linking other relevant threads. thank you :-)

As far as I know, rope length and anchor point don't determine comfort. Rope length determines if it's partial or full suspension, and anchor point is essential to make the attempt succesful. (And I really mean that, please make sure it can hold your weight for a while.)

If you wanna reduce pain, you'll need two things: padding and knowing where your carotids are. Hitting just the carotids and nothing else is the only peaceful way to go (for partial at least, no idea about full), while padding makes the pressure on your throat more bearable.

Too low. Trust me, I've been trying.

I'm not trying to discourage anyone, just give realistic advice. I think partial is extremely unlikely to work and neither would be peaceful. In order to close those carotids, there needs to be a serious act of will to weight the rope. Stepping off a chair is hard. Leaning into a rope until you pass out is even harder. I'm sorry, but hanging is not just going to sleep. If it were I'd have done it by now!

There's many known success stories out there, actually. Someone posted a thread with many video links (I think her name is Evelyn) and I watched some of them. It is a shockingly quick death, IF done right. They lost consciosness in up to only 15 seconds. Every movement afterwards is involuntary and SI, because even without consciosness, your body can still move a lot.

Many failed attempts is normal. It takes a while to get the hang of it. Let me know if you have questions. I also thought it was impossible for a whole year of trying, until I suddenly found the sweet spot and felt an overhwelming dizziness in only five seconds. Maybe I should make a thread about this for those who just can't get it to work.

may i ask what you think about making an anchor point from a dumbell/other anchor objects and using a door? i believe someone on this forum CTB'd that way. curious as to what you think about it.

if YourLocalEdgelord would like to chime in as well, that'd be lovely. ^_^

If you can lean into it, you're stronger than I am.

15 seconds of conscious hanging? That doesn't scare you shitless?

there's not too much of a need to lean into it if you're using a constrictor knot with a stopper knot, no? it does most of the work for you i'd imagine. tightens nicely with you applying pressure, not too much of a burden on you to do too much. not like i'm quite going for PSH anyways. i mean, if i have to i have to. but not ideal!

i don't see why an arms length wouldn't be enough... could you elaborate a bit more? there's definitely points in the house that i live in that are higher up, but they would take a lot more effort to procure for FSH, which is why i want to use this point that is easily accessible, and very hard to disturb or find me quickly.

Of course it does, I'm a coward, lmao. Not because of the process, but because of the uncertainty.

All my previous attempts were way too painful because I used no padding and placed the rope way too high. But ever since I used folded socks and placed the rope under my Adam's Apple, instead of above, I was shocked what a difference it made! No pain, didn't "hang" much either (I was half standing, on my heels). And yet, I felt this overwhelming sense of "I'm about to shut down." I immediately stopped (it was just a practice run, anyway) and walked over to my mirror to memorize the spot. I went from "I am too dumb to kill myself" to "I can do this whenever I want." Just waiting for mind to be ready.

About a year ago, I made myself pass out on purpose and even that scared me for some reason. Nothing bad happened. I don't know why I keep reacting like this. It's frustrating.

When I can reach the bar, my toes touch the floor when I'm in the noose. No matter how high you tie it you need some slack to get your head in there, so you'll be suspended a foot or so below the anchor point. The one that would work for me--if I had the guts-- is arm's length when I'm standing on a chair.

This low rope placement thing intrigues me. I always thought high was the name of the game.

i think i will tie it today, see how it holds up, test my weight etc etc bla bla blaaaa. it's in a spot in my house where i can obscure it if i just want to leave it there.

whatever the case, if my mind is set on suicide, i'll do it. this is just a way out if i need it!
i don't care if i spend a few minutes struggling, i've struggled all my life. ^_^ people have succeeded in worse scenarios, and i think i can make something work if i need to.

continuous discussion will also be helpful, so i encourage it. ty for chatting. :-)

For most people it's what works best. Could have spared myself all these painful attempts had I heard about it sooner. It was a coincidence I figured it out. Later I saw some threads that recommended putting the noose lower. Every person is different. There can be so many minor differences in anatomy.

Take care of yourself. Take your time and prepare carefully. I wish you a peaceful journey. <3
