Help how long do i need to strangle myself to go unconscious??

[Remy_is_tired]

read the hanging megathread and it talked about how you need to block the carotid artery to die.
it also advised to choke yourself to make sure youve found the spot.

for several days now, ive been trying to go unconscious but i just cant seem to do it.
i feel the strong pulse/heartbeat and when i choke myself it feels like everything should go black soon but it just doesnt!!

i timed myself this time, 45 secs, i think thats the longest one I've done
(saying that number is quite embarrassing, just realised how low it is..)
all that remains is just this ringing sound thats going really faint now (was more prominent when i started writing) and a headache

ii cant quite recall it now.. even tho it cant have been more than 5 minutes .? maybe?

i think there was more ringing when i did it and i could breathe also (hardly). it felt like something was rising up my throat---i assume it was my arteries just like being smushed to my trachea/throat???
also my head hurt which i think is a good sign

idkk i js wanna make sure before i, hopefully, hang myself

as of finishing this the ringing is completely gone/super duper faint.
okay i thought about it and now its back and going louder but its really low

and a baddd headache

i reallyy dont think i can do that for like minutes at a time...
maybe ill have some music on for my monkey 5 second attention span bran LOL

i wish i could know. I think it is different for everyone, but its hard to say. do you intent to do partial hanging or complete?

Seems to me that "practice" strangling is always too light. You either commit to FSH or you don't. I've messed with partial a bunch of times and I get the ear ringing afterward but I never get near unconsciousness.

I wish I had a good answer for you because I'd like to know the same thing for myself. I want to do full suspension if I can but damn is it scary. I just wish ending things was easier.
