Story Just tried the tourniquet method

[freakaccident]

The thing is I was only trying it, I wasn't trying to off myself (this time). Anyway now my head hurts like hell, and idk I just feel weird, both mentally and physically.
I almost passed out, it felt like I was slowly falling into it, in a way it felt like I was being hugged internally. The pressure in my head surprisingly didn't feel too uncomfortable,, like it was enough for me to notice my heartbeat, but oddly it was kinda relaxing????? idk probably doesn't make all too much sense...
If I would've done the method the right way (I was just playing around and getting used to it), I would have passed out without the feeling of pressure and ofcourse fallen asleep.

Umm I'm not really sure what the point of this post was, just wanted to share. I know this is the method for me.

I've heard it's a hard way to ctb. SI often stops any successful attempt. I got very light headed and had a weird swallowing sensation after playing around with partial suspension hanging for about 24hours. My back up method, so I think I get your feeling. Just playing around but with the right positioning it can be dangerous as concussionness can be lost quickly. Dont die accidentally now. Oh no.

That method sounds risky to me, I would fear it going wrong if I tried to attempt. I hate how suicide methods can potentially fail and involve risks, but if people are able to actually succeed with this then I admire their courage.

Sounds like you escaped death VERY narrowly, maybe by five seconds or so.

hypoxic euphoria... you know, asphyxiation doesn't sound bad after you read about certain stuff regarding it

I feel exactly the same way when I try partial hanging, except for the head hurting after. My throat hurts every time though.
But, overall, it gives me some kind of pleasure to realize I am almost passing out.
