Please help so confuzed...Choking game...?

Question

Okay so I dont know how to say this. Well Ive been playing the choking game with my friends for about 3 years. Yes I know i am such an idiot. But now I want to play it by myself and the only way i know how to is with a ligature. And I know how stupid that is. I can easily kill myself like that. But I can't get the idea out of my head. It's bad enough that Ive done this with friends but now that I want to do it on my own. Why am I feeling like this. I am so tempted to do this but what if I die from it. My family would be so upset. Why do I want to do this. I cant understand this at all. It's pretty much my stupidest idea ever. And no I don't have a death wish. I just loving the feeling of the game yes its dangerous....but this idea is even worse. I have been thinking about it for the last couple of days. And when ever I think about it i feel a sense of security...like nothings going to happen this one time. But I know thats the worst poossible idea because i dont know that for sure.

Please answer...I really need help...I dont know what I should do. Just give me any kind of advice...anything is good... THanks...

This is not auto erotic asphyiation. I am not doing it to get any kind of sexual arousal... I am just doing this for the 10 second high... soo please keep that in mind. Thanks...

Another thing...I dont wont my parents to find out because they'll get upset and start yelling... and wonder why im doing this... They'll try to make me feel guilty. I am not old enough to drive so I dont know where i can get help from without telling my parents... becuase my friends cant drive either. Does anyone have any suggestions other than getting help to help me figure this out...

Oh and I'm not suicidal. I started doing this not knowing it was dagerous... and thats why i am scared to do this "game" by myself....i dont want to kill myself and hurt my family and friends in that way...but i still want to do it anyway...

Answer 1

Alright...well Ive done this game my self before. I can understand why you want to do it. But you need to think before you do this. There is only so long you can be lucky with this "game", and when your luck runs out, then what. How will your friends and family feel. You maybe concerned about how your parents might feel about this but they'll be glad to help you. They wouldnt want to see you getting hurt... and you dont know for sure that nothing will happen to you. THats an easy possibility. You might easily die from it. Even though I dont know you I woulod hate to see you get hurt from this. One of my friends died from this "game" and I was so hurt because of it. Please dont do this think of your family and friends....And using a ligature is the most dangerous way to do this "game". So if you have to play it atleast do it with friends so that way you can be sure you wake up. Its still not a good idea and you need to find something to substitute for this "game" Its horrible for your health. And If you look it up on google you'll see so many stories of people who have died from it. Please dont become another statistic...and also...try to get your friends to stop as well. I hope you get help and dont do this. Distract yourself the next time you want to play this "game"

The choking game cuts off the oxygen to your brain. Then, the oxygen rushes back to your brain, and you get that head rush that feels like a relief, or a release, or sometimes a sense of euphoria or joy.

It can cause permanent neurological disability, if it doesn't kill you. Your brain needs a constant supply of oxygen. That's why your body works so hard to maintain that supply. When you try to block off this oxygen, you are inhibiting your body's ability to keep you alive and healthy. If it continues, the results are scary. You are risking:

Seizures

Brain Damage

Retinal hemorrhaging

Stroke

DEATH

Please take this seriously. Tell someone you are thinking about doing this. Using a ligature is a horrible idea, because it won't know when to release, so you are more likely to not wake up...ever.

Every time you play this game, you kill more brain cells, and they are the only brain cells you have for your entire life. This can affect your future thinking ability and health. You could end up disabled for the rest of your life.

Find another activity. Something active. And never, ever do this alone. You need to tell someone to get your friend help, as well. Maybe the two of you could try a new activity together.

I know it seems like nothing will go wrong. But there are so many things that truly could go wrong. Just because they haven't happened yet doesn't mean they won't. Please be smart and stay safe.

Who ever is saying your looking for attention I totally disagree!!!!! Why bother answering the question if all they are doing is making you feel worse while your looking for help and trying to look for help and to feel better!! Whatever you do do not this on your own because there is a risk you won't wake up and if you want to keep going just think how your parents will feel if it goes wrong? And maybe start doing it less times with your friends ( if you do it everyday do it maybe once every 3 days and cut it Down and then you so then you won't want to do it so much anymore hope I helped I had the same problem but with the one where your friend pushes your chest good luck to you:)

Answer 4

Once you start down a road like this, there's no stopping it. You won't just do it once on your own, you'll do it many times. Eventually, the Russian roulette you're playing with your life will stop, and you will lose.

Tell your mom that you are feeling awful and you need to see a therapist. Or write down the number of a 24-hour suicide line, and call it whenever you're feeling like playing the game. Believe it or not, your subconscious mind is suicidal--you want to risk death for whatever reason---and you need to be getting treatment.

Don't do this. I've seen kids in the emergency room from this "game"---and I've seen their parents and siblings. If you do this, and it goes wrong, you will wreck the lives of everyone you care about, forever. Is that worth it? No. Good luck---get help!


EDIT: Hon, it doesn't matter whether you knew it was dangerous when you started. You now know that it can easily kill you, and you want to do it anyway? Doing something that is likely to seriously harm or kill you is the definition of an unhealthy mental state.

Telling your parents is the least of your worries. I know you're concerned they'll be upset, but they're only going to be scared FOR you---not angry AT you. Your parents don't want you to die---they'll get you help and be happy to do it. Don't let the fear of your parents being unhappy cause you to die. That's just plain silly, right? They'll be a whole lot more unhappy should you accidentally kill yourself. Yeah? Tell them. Thousands of people in the world face a harder thing to do every day (soldiers in Iraq, gay kids coming out, etc, etc)---you're not alone in being scared, but this is a time you have to be brave, k?

Answer 5

A very common treatment for panic attacks is to reduce your oxygen to the brain. Breathing onto a paper bag is a very old trick. The brain uses gasses for rapid thinking as chemicals are formed and reformed. Increasing the carbon dioxide does little harm. Laughing gas is increasing the nitrogen gas. If you use the oven on a gas stove you get more carbon monoxide and dioxide. These gasses alter the brain chemistry and as long as a return to balanced air is found little is changed. Maybe you can go dive for pearls in the south seas and feel good too.

Answer 7

listen, there are much better 'games' you could be playing right now..this is a curiosity, and a 'new kick ' but this is so dangerous, you need to ask yourself, 'what the hell is wrong with me?'...Please, don't do anything so stupid,...what if you broke your neck instead? there are just too many reasons why you shouldn't do this..I think you are looking for attention, and this is NOT the way to get it...please, and to do something like this, alone, is the worst think I have ever heard, I am sure you are not a moron, so don't act like one

Answer 8

It's a lot safer if you were to just get a little bit of marijuana instead!!

Yes, the choking game is stupid. Ask yourself when do you play this game? When you're feeling upset or happy? If it's usually when you're feeling upset or bored, perhaps you do have a sort of death wish. It's common among teenagers to have that sort of wish. Then again, you may just be using as a way to masturbate or to experience sexual arousal. You do need to stop this.

Find something else to replace the choking game, like I said, a little bit of pot a couple times a month might do the trick as long as you can smoke responsibly. If not, something else. Do try and talk to someone and as for your family, think about it, would your mom be more upset that you told her this is what you're doing and you need help or if she found you dead after playing this 'game'?

Answer 9

Some people get fixated of auto-erotic asphyxiation because of the out-of-body high they get from the deprivation of oxygen to the brain.
Please see a therapist so you can learn why this deadly practice is giving you such a needed release. It is like a drug to you and addicts need assistance to get to the root of their problems.

Best of luck...

Answer 10

If you die, you will be dead for a long time. Why don't you go find something constructive to play, like football. What you are doing is the silliest thing I have heard of since the last silly thing I heard.
