I tried this. No matter how much I pull it won't break, its secure. But I am unable to compress my carotids. Hanging aside, even in general. I've tried my fingers, rope, twine, belt, scarves. Nothing I do compresses them. I just feel pressure in my head for minutes, like only my jugulars are being compressed.

What am I doing wrong?

Someone please help, I only have a day or two, and my backup method is a lot more painful lol.

Either the pressure applied on the carotids is not enough, or the position you used doesn't work for you. I myself only got it to the point of making me dizzy when I was in a particular position where the force applied was perpendicular to my neck instead of upwards and I had to look up, extending the front of the neck. That's with the rope tied 2 fingers below the adam's apple and by making use of socks as seen on https://sanctioned-suicide.net/threads/best-way-to-succeed-partial-hanging.130841
No other position got me anywhere close to that, no matter how much more force I ended up putting on my neck.

What I can recommend you is that with the fingers on your carotids, shift your head about and see when is their pulse is the strongest, that should indicate when they are the most exposed.

I tried it. It didn't work. Thanks for the link, it worked a lot better with socks. Got dizzy. But I couldn't move my feet back enough to lose consciousness. Just kept like getting back upright and I felt dizzy for a few seconds. It takes a lot more force than I expected, you can't just lean into it gently, its not pleasant.

I've been having the same problem. Jealous of the people it's easy for. It takes a lot of trial and error apparently. I'm wondering if it would be better to wait until I can get a firearm or SN. But I don't wanna risk my determination wavering.

I'm trying but it's still hard, I only keep getting jugulars....I think it may be my rope isn't tightening enough so I may need to use padding. Although idk if that would make it less effective. It's easier for me to hit jugulars with padding I think idk

Omg. It worked last time and the time before that . It was painless, quick, and easy. but that's cuz part of my brain expected it to not work . But now that I know I will lose consciousness, I tried it with a secure rope. And SI kicked in.

When I tried on the 14th of June, I got lightheaded and super wobbly SEVERAL times, but didn't pass out. On the 20th of June, I tried again, but it wasn't working, and for some reason I told my friend, who then told my brother, who then came home from work early and called 911 on me. I ended up in the psych ward from that day until the 25th of June. I wish that I can have the opportunity to try again. I don't know when that will be. I want to feel that again.. it felt like I finally had an escape and I felt free. Hopefully it'll be soon because I'm tired of the rejection and stressing about life and my future on a daily basis.

Here's the rope I used: https://a.co/d/cSYrUHW
