Basically I am trying to hang myself and I made a rope in an unused closet at home, one side a simple tie tied to the closet pole and the noose from a slipknot.

I can't get myself to pass out and I always just have headaches and feelings that I'm going to blow my head up.

I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.

Several people have posted here about trying this method up to 25 times without it working, but there is some risk of it failing and ending up with brain damage, I don't know what percent risk this is, but there is some. It's tough to find a reliable method to leave this world, so many of us here know. I hope you can find peace somehow. It could be worth it to post what reasons you have for leaving to see if people can help with ideas to alleviate some of your pain. Many of us have been here for years though we often wish we could leave, because reliable methods and reliable situations are so tough to come by for many people.

Keep researching anatomical diagrams of arteries of the neck from different angles, specifically carotid arteries, and practicing your technique. I recently learned the carotids are placed not exactly in the dip between the trachea and the sternocleido mastoid muscles of the neck, but just a little further out towards the sides of the neck is the best spot to press, for me. Try to find the right spot for you and the right technique. I don't believe anybody's anatomy varies so differently that it's impossible for certain people to pass out within 30 seconds. We can all be choked out by a martial artist I bet. Good luck.

I'm having a similar problem. Not passing out. Just choking, coughing, and retching. Obviously not doing it right.

i know my problems are easily solvable but im basically refusing those solutions.

last year i was depressed and ended up in a psych ward so i decided to transfer colleges from the one i hated to the one i loved.

i got in in april and started attending classes in august but i basically blew my chances, acted out, got kicked out from the college i dreamed of going.

i got my local school and the previous college but i despise both of them and flashbacks from my first week of school this year... i cannot do this anymore.

i blew my chances of having a better social life. a life away from a hypercontrolling christian cult. independence from my parents. i basically lost all of it.




also update my parents somewhat found out about my attempt so they are on high alert so idk if i can attempt on time.

Same shit happened to me too. Tried a rope, tried with a belt, the most that happened was that everything went to black but didn't pass out. Over a year later and still here

I'm having the same issue and its so frustrating, especially as everyone seems to say its a fairly quick and straightforward method. I wish I had access to more efficient methods
