I'm glad you survived. I hanged myself once too and I'm so glad it went wrong. I'll never ever forget the feeling of it, the only sound you hear is your own heartbeat, the pressure that makes you feel as though your head is literally gonna explode. Never agin.

I'm really, really glad that you're still with us, too. Don't elaborate if you don't feel comfortable in doing so, but I've heard about the heartbeat and the pressure in your head, before — but I've also heard that after a point it's quite peaceful — and obviously, you're still here, but I was just curious if you'd be willing to elaborate further on that experience? And NO, I'm not looking to hang myself, before people start asking. This is specifically for the sake of insight, empathy, and further knowledge — but I, by no means, want to bring back anything that you're uncomfortable with sharing. I would never want to do that to anyone.
So, if you're willing to share, there's no stress intended, either way.

There was nothing relaxing about it, at least not at any point I was at, maybe because I didn't truly want to die- I just didn't want to deal with what was going on in my life at that time so I obviously went full panic mode. I think someone absolutely resolute in their decision could possibly find the experience comfortable. The very second I did it, I regretted it completely. I was lucky enough to be able to get back up onto a higher surface to get out in time. I had done it with my dressing gown cord over a door handle with me behind the door. I know it would have been death by strangulation in contrast to a typical neck-breaking hanging. My partner would have found me when he got back from work. I can't bear the thought of anyone else going through this, please reach out if you need help. There are so many organisations out there that can help or if you're right on the edge seriously about to take action then call emergency services. I'm glad you asked those questions as it raises awareness of what to do when dealing with suicidal ideation. As soon as I'm healthy again to go to work (I have gastrointestinal disorders) then I'm going to look into becoming an advocate for men with mental health problems. There is absolutely no shame in either admitting you need help or actually asking for help. Life really is precious and really quite short in the grand scheme of things.

Glad you're still here. Are you feeling any better now at least? Mentally I mean? Or just different coping strategies? Is there anything "positive" you could pull out of your near death experience?
I hope my questions are ok. I'm genuinely interested

Not sure if you're talking to OP or myself but I'm happy to answer regardless. My attempt happened 4 years ago now and in that time I was put on anti-depressants that had to be doubled which made it the maximum legal dose. They did the job for a while before my life took a pretty dramatic turn. Developed a health problem that made me too ill to work so had to give up my career- this caused yet another depression spiral. I started engaging with the mental health team at my GP surgery and hospital outpatient appointments. I'm on day 7 of a new anti-depressant which I really hope does the job. From what I've read and heard first-hand from people that have used this medication, this has been a lifesaver. So excited to get back to normal, it's 20 years since I was first diagnosed with clinial depression (age 15.)

Thank you for sharing. Yes I was talking to you. I wish you all the best of luck with your new anti depressant. I'm on effexor right now and I feel like it does help. Although I can't say for sure because I'm doing so many other changes too simultaenously so it's hard to say what does what... Exercise and being in nature really helps me too and doing art and actually knowing how to rest. I feel like I've just been rushing through life and that I let every last fucking cunt sap the energy out of me. 31 now.

Thank you very much :) I hadn't even heard of these antidepressants I'm now on before but reviews are great and at this point I'm willing to try anything. The dosage is being pushed up every fortnight so in one month I'll be on the highest. Nice to hear you are doing well- I also do art to relax and occupy my mind! I know how you feel about rushing through life- I really resent what happened to me as a child and becoming homeless for the first time at 15 meant I had to grow up and become an adult practically overnight. It was just too much to handle, and really screwed with my mind so here I am 20 years later still on bloody medication!

I think medications can help. Even if they're not permanent... I don't even think of addiction as "bad". As long as it doesn't completly fuck up ones life. I'm a sober alcoholic myself. I think we're all dealt different cards in life and we all grow up in different environments and we'll look for ways to cope. So I think to develop understanding and not judge so much is really all we can do... when you said homeless I had to think of a book called WASTED from Mark Johnson. Ever heard of it? Very vividly written book about how he became an addict, became homeless, struggles and then gets better.

no one should be shamed about antidepressant medication, it saves lives.

I haven't heard of that book but thanks for the recommendation, I'll have to look it up. I'm totally with you on your views about addiction, I certainly enjoy my opiods which I've been on for the last 3 years since my gastrointestinal disorders started. I find they help with depression too as they can often be a source of release. I don't drink anymore, last drink was on my 30th birthday and I'm 35 now. I used to be such a BAD drinker. Got in so much trouble from the age of 18 for doing insane things when I was under the influence. Even have wilful fireraising on my criminal record from all those years ago. Congratulations on being sober, I truly hope you stay that way :)

If you haven't already, talk to your doctor about
Psilocybin Treatment. I've heard it can actually
HEAL the Brain in certain depression cases.
Cheers🍻

Hey, just a little update- I'm 7 weeks into a new (to me) antidepressant and it's in a different class than every other one I've been on before. They're called Venlafaxine and I'm on the highest daily dose possible. So grateful my doctor took me seriously enough last time- booked me an emergency appointment with a psychiatrist and since then I've had a six week follow-up appointment and as of tomorrow I start a 12 week long programme of once a week appointments. Also been added to the waiting list for grief counselling (I was mostly raised by my grandmother that was a Polish Holocaust survivor, never got over her death as she was my absolute everything. And then my father died of AIDs due to sharing needles so it's a lot to process as this all happened in the space of 2 years just as I became a teenager.)

Genuinely curious - can anyone explain why her arms are moving like this? I've seen it in a few other videos as well.

Edit the title adding "hanging or hangs herself" to the title, mate. So in the future we can find this video easily if we need.
