So I tied a rope around my neck not attached to anything because I thought it could kill me. The idea was leaving it on for a while I would eventually stop breathing from slowly being strangled. I didn't do any research it was on impulse. But I tied it around my neck and I could still breathe but I did feel myself being strangled and my head felt like it was going to explode but I could still function properly I kept it on for like 20 minutes before taking it off because I didn't think it was working. My question is could it actually work? Did I do anything wrong? Is there a better method like this? I know this is probably stupid but better it's to just ask.

You didn't compress your carotid arteries otherwise you'd have blacked out.

At most you're going to feel discomfort, you need body weight to tighten a slip knot or a strap you can tighten for the night night method.

Unfortunately, 95% of suicide attempts end in failure. With a few exceptions like firearms, etc., most suicide attempts that have not been properly researched or prepared rarely work.

You were cutting off the blood flow leaving your brain but not the blood to your brain. The amount of discomfort experienced will force you to take off the rope long before you would die (if at all). People hang themselves to use their body wright to close off the carotid arteries, starving the brain of blood. Sitting around with a good slightly tightened around your neck is not going to do anything to thee than give you a headache.

Thanks, I'll do more research on it.
