hi all- i've settled on psh as method and i've gotten as far as strangling myself with the material i will be using until my arms start to tingle, then i stop. it honestly feels kinda good, ive heard reports of this too! just wondering if anyone has gotten far enough to the panic or passing out stage. aka someone who had near-hanging but survived or decided not to go through. i would appreciate any anecdotes by anyone with experience in specifically ctb by compressing the carotids !! thanks all :-)

Hi! Maybe a bit late, but from my own personal experience I never really had a panic stage, but instead started to get a tingling sensation all over and get a sort of pounding, banging pain in my head as though it was about to explode, which I found too hard to endure at least at the time. I tried again shortly after but same thing happened.

For me, its like each breath my soul gets a little lighter. I hit my jugular vein and carotid artery super easy so it doesnt take me much positioning to get it right.
Knot placement seems to do this easily whether its behind me and center or behind me and off center. Actually, I mapped my own syncope. Its like my vision blurs and then I get a metal taste and my breathing starts sounding distant up then kind of disappears. It ends with a giant booming in my head but by then im so hypoxic that my amygdala doesnt even register f
the fear. Its like its happening to someone else entirely. Like by that point my ego is dissolved.

I tried this twice now. The first time a few years ago I didn't know you had to cut off blood flow immediately or you get the explodey head feeling which I wouldn't wish on anyone. The second time last night I cut of flow immediately and got to the point of not being able to hear in under 30 seconds. I had my eyes closed so idk about vision.
