Worried about hanging myself tomorrow

[hanging_around]

I've gotten myself all prepared to hang myself tomorrow. I've got some good rope, a ladder and a good spot in my house to hang myself.

I was just doing a little bit of extra research and came across a post on reddit where the poster talks about their very painful experience they had whilst hanging themselves. This scares me. I want to die but the thought of having to endure that is making me have second thoughts.

I want to kill myself soon and unfortunately don't have access to any of better methods such as SN or firearms. I don't get the chance to hang myself often here so don't feel like putting this off any longer.

Here is the link to the reddit post: What they don't tell you about hanging yourself

I'm posting this just to hear the thoughts you people have on this and whether it's possible to ensure that it's less painful.

i am not sure from what i read mostly is that hanging isn't so bad
the reddit op probably did some mistake

Guide on how to lose consciousness when hanging yourself (aka most common hanging mistakes)

I've seen a lot of doubt regarding whether or not someone is conscious or unconscious during a full suspension hanging attempt. Below I've linked some videos in which people are undoubtedly conscious for a few minutes (due to them not following the hanging best practices)...

If I remember my history the electric chair was used as a more humane approach to hanging execution. The long drop hangings used before the electric chair were developed to be humane.

I'd like to share a few thoughts on that widely celebrated post where a user claims to have "miraculously survived" a suicide attempt by hanging. Let me be very clear: what they wrote is not a testimony, but a piece of moralistic fiction, crafted by someone who borrowed the language of trauma to build a cautionary tale designed solely to terrify those who are suffering. It's yet another subtle and perverse attempt to enforce a pro-life message disguised as personal confession, with a bitter aftertaste of sadism and satisfaction in watching others surrender their right to choose.

The clinical inconsistencies are glaring: no mention of the typical injuries from hanging (edema, hoarseness, subconjunctival hemorrhages, laryngeal damage), no explanation of how the attempt was interrupted (in fact, conveniently omitted), no coherent timeline. It's a narrative built to replace physical reality with a psychological horror show.

And that's exactly the point: whoever writes such things doesn't want to help. They want to control. They want to feel central, the hero who "saw the afterlife and warns you", basking in their tiny cult of terror.
This isn't an act of honesty — it's a delusion of grandeur, meant to strip others of clear thinking by planting fear, shame, and guilt in those already struggling to breathe.

I don't need to prove that this person never put a rope around their neck — the text screams it, in its convenient gaps, theatrical rhetoric, and implausible descriptions. And the worst part is that those who are truly in pain, who have no voice, read these stories and absorb the lie as if it were truth, losing even the final space of free thought.

To them, I say: truth is not what frightens most, but what leaves room for choice. And freedom — even at the end — is sacred.
