Though its possible, I think it would be very hard. Hard to overcome your SI and be able to make multiple cuts that are deep enough.

 

[Bensharp]

It is one of the hardest way to ctb

 

[WornOutLife]

Not a recommended way of leaving this world at all.
I highly suggest you look for another method.

I'm not sure what your cutter is like, but I imagine that if you are able to overcome the pain (which is not going to be easy) you are really risking to end up with one of those break-off blades breaking off and possibly getting stuck in your neck, because your neck is made out of tough stuff. I'd really suggest to reconsider the method.

If you can stab the jugular or the carotid and sever either you'll die of blood loss within 3 minutes.
It'll be quite painful though as both are well protected by muscle and relatively deep in.

I think you would have to be extremely committed to manage to kill yourself by cutting your neck, easier to just stab I'd think.

make an old timey french head chopper yo

It's not like the movies where they just cut the front of their throat and then die quickly. Fuck all would happen if you did that, apart from a sore throat. Those veins are pretty deep.

Well, you leave an impression if you want go that route and a bloody mess.

Horror method...don't do this please

What about the femoral artery? It's closer to the surface.

Hell yeah, DIY guillotine!

Yyyyyyyeaaaahhhhhh don't do this you're going to be in too much pain and if you fail you have a fully visible neck scar for the rest of your life

Are you talking about a box cutter? Definitely not. Slashing your throat would be impossible that way. Unless you were in some psychotic state and were hacking away at it

A med student that hanged herself mentioned this as her backup. She said that cutting one carotid "diagonally" would be lethal, and was mentioning using a scalpel. I think she said loss of consciousness would be quick, around 30 sec due to the pressure in the carotids. She also mentioned how blood vessels have a tendency to close up if not cut properly, especially ones with less pressure than the carotid like the femoral. I probably got some stuff wrong tho, haha. She ended up going for partial and I assume she succeeded.

My last resort method uses this knife:

The idea being using the curve of the blade to get behind the artery and then pull forward. It will no doubt go horribly wrong.

If there is one person on this forum that could pull off carotid slashing I think it would be you, now that the medic is dead.

It is possible mainly through accidents or if someone else did it and knew exactly where to aim and how deep. I saw someone post a link to a live-leak of a man doing handy work who died that way accidentally. He was handling a large panel of glass that I assume was going to be installed as a door. He lost his balance and dropped the panel forward hitting one of the corners against the ground. This caused the whole thing to shatter into a bunch of shards and because a part of the panel was pressed against his neck, a large shard actually sliced through his jugular vein. The camera quality was bad because it's cctv footage but he was unconscious within 10 seconds. It looked excruciatingly painful but nonetheless still possible. And he dropped to the ground very quickly because of the massive blood loss. If you can make the ctb'ing quick then I guess the pain would be worth it

You have to be really sure of your anatomy. A lot of doctors wil sever their carotid or femoral artery; because you bleed out so fast. If you miss, you are in for a world of hurt

Same, if you can locate in the groin area
