Has anybody tried to hang themselves, were unsuccessful and have lived? How does it feel to hang?
i was using the trx bands to train myself with, i tried to wind them around my legs while upside down, after some time i was tangled and unable to release from the bands
this is at my local gym, around 2 in the morning, i had to have the front desk help me down
feels like youre at the end of your rope
somebody post fatman's greentext
I always knew I'd go out swinging.

Tried hanging myself with a guitar cable. Got very close to unconsciousness before it broke. It's a rather terrifying feeling, actually. You're whole body feels super light, and you get this intense rush in your head. It is kinda fast, I suppose
yes, the reason I lived was that I forgot to remove something that could be used for footing, I moved other things but not that
feels tight
funny thing is I tried other methods and failed too, but because of backing out at the last minute, not because of failing in the actual execution. hanging is at least a lot easier than (non-gun) methods.
jumping off a cliff is probably one of the hardest ways outside stabbing yourself or something

I did last year. I was using coaxial cables, they have a cooper mesh, so i thought "hey this thing should handle me", but somehow the knot on the beam managed to unknot and i fell.
There is some pressure in the first seconds, but after a few seconds you feel like you will fall asleep and the vision gets blurry and hearing slowly starts fading away. It feels much better than i expected, i was expecting some agonizing excruciating feeling, but it's actually relaxing. Will surely try again, but with nylon rope this time.

Well... I hoped that it would be painful as fuck, not some kind of dosing-off-bliss. I really don't want to do that, but I really fucked my shit up.
Thanks for that greentext story tho

I tried to hang mysel in a cord from a doorknob, regrettet it halfway through and stopped it.
Felt bad to hang, my face got all red and my neck hurt like hell. Couldn't breathe :)

That's why the knot should be on the left side.

I once walked in on someone hanging themselves as a child and I reacted quick enough to alert an adult so the person was saved, kinda regret it because I still know the guy and he's a huge dickhead
