Help Partial Hanging: What am I doing wrong?

[star.berry]

Sorry for the long post, but I've read up on a bunch of megathreads at this point to try and get things down, but even after 10 failed attempts I still can't seem to make partial work for me and It's getting frustrating.

The main issue for me is that I can't manage to make myself pass out. I'm pretty sure I'm compressing my carotids, since my vision is getting blurry and darkening. I also have the feeling of calmness described in the threads, and no exploding head pressure. Even after around a minute I still can't manage to pass out at all. I've also tried moving the position of the noose on my neck both low and high, but it only constricts my breathing and makes me start choking as well.

I'm just really tired at this point, and a bit desperate. I don't really have any other method other than possibly shooting myself, but I don't think my handgun's caliber is large enough to have any semblance of success either. Any advice is appreciated, and if you need any more information I'm happy to provide it. :)

Do you just drop your weight into it quickly or ease into it slowly? Maybe that could make the difference.

I've been dropping my weight forward when I've attempted. I eased into it in past attempts but it only worked to constrict my jugular and gave that exploding feeling in my head. Maybe I'm subconsciously not using all of my body weight somehow or applying enough pressure?

I'd say drop drop weight quickly so that the carotid arteries are constricted at the same time as the jugulars as possible, that's just my theory though that I think will significantly increase chances of success

I'll try to keep that in mind next time, thank you :)
