Suicide: permanent solution to permanent problems

Initially when I tried the tourniquet method, I lost all hope in it because it just gave me that head exploding sensation so I put it to the side for a while.
This time, I just used a thick shoelace. With the shoelace, I tied a half knot that landed above my Adam's apple and I tightened it A LOT. No reef knot or sticks or any of that.
I felt so happy that finally I felt the dizzy, lightheaded sensation and started to see my vision fade and my hearing fade too.
So my current theory with the tourniquet method is that for it to work, you have to tighten it A LOT. To the point where it partially compresses the trachea and affects your breathing. Better safe than sorry?
In my experience, the jugular vein is easy to compress (which is why many attempts just end up in head swelling) whereas the other carotids require much more pressure. Compression must be rapid also. I compressed rapidly when I pulled the shoelace string, tightening the half knot above my Adam's apple.
Compression must be rapid because this will prevent any blood from getting pumped to the brain which will get stuck because the jugular vein is also compressed and that leads to the dreaded head swelling sensation.
If it's a tourniquet, it must be especially rapid. No time to slow down.
Perhaps tourniquet is useless unless lots of pressure is applied rapidly to the carotids and jugular vein. It's possible with common materials, but pretty difficult (you have to be very determined)
The sweet spot is always above the Adam's apple right below the jaw. If it doesn't work for people this way, it's because there's not enough pressure applied from my experience.
Partial hanging would be a better option imo because the body weight is more than enough pressure to compress the carotids and jugular vein.
The main formula for any neck compression device is:
High pressure + pressure reliably sustained + no interruption from people = CTB
There's a document that details how someone made a compression device where you just pull one end of a string and pressure is applied to the carotids. I found his explanation not detailed enough so I'm basically going to recreate the device and give instructions and share my results if it's successful.
When I very nearly passed out, I already noticed involuntary convulsions on my hands and on my body. It wasn't severe though. It was very mild. From what people were saying, I was expecting full blown seizure like movements but it wasn't like that. Maybe it happens more after you've lost consciousness?
