Story I think I figured out carotid compression :3

[thetruetato]

So I just practiced partial hanging and I think I figured out carotid compression. For me personally, I could only get it to work without folded socks/whatever else would be used to cushion the area around the windpipe, they aren't really necessary if you position the rope lower on your neck. When I did it I initially felt pressure in my head for a few seconds before it left and I slowly started feeling weird. Eventually my breathing seemed to get really loud, (I don't know if it actually is getting louder, I'll try recording the audio and replaying it to myself to see after I make this post) and then my mouth started feeling really cold and my vision went blurry. Does this mean I'm doing it correctly? If so, I'm likely going to try it tonight. (If I get found and put in a hospital/mental institution, I will not be able to access this site for anywhere from a few days to a few months, so don't delete my account if I don't come back online)

Sounds like it. Do you feel dizzyness/lightheaded as well?

Not really dizziness, but I do feel lightheaded to some extent.

Maybe you can try pulling your ligature criss cross around your sweet spot, and record to see if you pass out. If you do, that means you have it down.

Roughly how long was each trial?

What did you feel? Did you pass out? Wish this wasn't so hard. Sending hugs.
