Cartorid artery location help?

[etherealdemise]

I cant fucking find it. also can i use a ceiling fan to hang myself or just tie something insanely tight around my carotid artery i just want an easy way to disappear

me neither, I press my fingers in on the sides of the neck next to windpipe, get the fading vision but then the vision comes right back while pressure is still applied, and nothing really happens. I've tried all locations and have never even gotten close to passing out like people describe. I dug deep into the neck with 4 fingers near where carotids are supposed to be and still nothing!! how is it not working?

this makes me lose all hope in stabbing being a method, if i can't even get it with pressure, there's no way a blade is getting to it
my only option is rope and hoping the thicker pressure is enough to get it....

To locate your carotid arteries in your neck, start by standing in front of a mirror. Turn your head to one side so you can clearly see the muscles in your neck. Look for the angled muscles that extend from the bottom of your jaw down to the middle of your collarbone—these are the sternocleidomastoid muscles.

The carotid artery is located just beneath these muscles. To feel for it, gently press your fingers along the side of your neck, just next to the trachea (windpipe). You should be able to feel a pulse in this area. Remember to apply light pressure; pressing too hard can occlude the artery and make it harder to feel.

Also is helpful to visualize it. There are some good videos on YT regarding their locations you could watch. Here is a general pic:
