Discussion has anyone tried partial hanging?

[purplegrape8]

what was your experience with partial hanging? how far did you get and why did you stop? i recently just tried partial hanging and i almost blacked out but SI kicked in and i stood up. i tried doing it again but couldn't black out right away and was just hanging there struggling to breathe with the feeling of blood rushing into my head. i also felt like i needed to pee. i wish it wasn't so painful and hard to just ctb

I did when I was 14. I put a scarf around a window handle and leaned forward. I placed the knot under my chin and, I don't know, something like a minute or so later I began to pass out. Unfortunately I made too much noise. My dad came in and untied me. I was already unconscious. The doctors said just a bit longer and I would have died. Spent almost three months in mental hospital afterwards

156 page thread. It's a rabbit hole, partial hanging is well covered. There are a lot of accounts that sound like yours, lots of failed attempts. The ppl who were successful can't tell us about it but there are quite a few people on this thread that stopped posting at some point.

I tired to do partial yesterday just to see how it would feel when I finally decided to CTB.
Got about 1 meter of rope and tied it to a metal bar in my closet. I intentionally made the slipknot and snuggle hitch lose so it would untie it self because I did not want to CTB yet (I still have alot of things to do).
5 second into the kneeling position I already felt wobbly and my vision draining SI kicked in and I stood up. This is a good start no discomfort and no pain. Waited 30 minutes and got my self tipsy with whiskey tried it again kneeling position and after about 20 seconds I did lose consciousness and later when my body became slump the snuggle hitch united and i fell face first into my floor (ouch). No pain and discomfort during the hanging.
I have to say my overall opinion on this method changed alot if one could stop their SI from kicking in this seems like a viable method

I practiced it a few times these last days, it does work if you don't back out or if SI doesn't interfere, losing consciousness is unnoticeable quicker than I thought. I'm considering this as my method whenever the time comes.

I get the feeling of euphoria but I don't pass out. I do this with rope over a doorway and on the sitting position btw

I had a failed attempt recently. I knelt and pulled on the rope hard, and then I passed out. If the knot on the anchor had not given way, I'd be dead right now. It has given me the courage that I can do it - and the smarts to have a better anchor

"Losing consciousness is unnoticeable quicker than I thought."

Exactly!

i must have been just too stupid to do it properly because i couldn't even figure out how to pass out properly. don't think i had the right setup.

 

[motoko_s9]

I have done a "dry run" with the rope loosely draped around the anchor point so I could hold it in my left hand and pull. As others report, losing consciousness comes unexpectedly, and not only did I lose consciousness but my body became totally limp and I fell. Naturally this caused me to loosen my grip and I quickly came round. I must have been out for less than a second. It is important, if testing, not to secure the other end of the rope, or the test could suddenly result in an unintended self unaliving.

The only thing that concerns me would be, having done this for real, that there is no subsequent shift in position which loosens the rope.

I failed a few years back. Drank a lot of alcohol, then put the rope around my neck and slumped against a tree, partially hanging from my neck.

I don't know how long I was out for, but I woke up by my own loud snoring. I got frustrated, thinking I was doing it wrong.

In retrospect, if I hadn't moved, I would have probably succeeded?

Did your brain panic before losing consciousness? Or did you start to lose consciousness very smoothly?

I just found myself at the edge of consciousness and then i told myself - just let go - and I did.

Tried a month ago - SI kicked in. FOrtunately it left no nasty marks I would have to explain. Seems full is the only way for this stubborn old Italian.
