gave up on SN but i'm feeling pretty optimistic about partial. i'm left alone with no one in the house for about an hour everyday, between 2/3-4pm. should be plenty of time to achieve partial. i have been practicing with a necktie. i tied the lig up and tied a slip knot to make a noose, then put the noose over my head. at first, i put the noose as high up as possible because i thought the carotid arteries were right under the jaw. i leaned forward and put pressure on the neck, but i got the head-exploding feeling, which i'm fairly certain is the result of the jugular vein being compressed. i read a thread on here where someone said their sweet spot was at the base of their neck so i put the noose there and leaned into it. instantly, i got very dizzy and got a whole body tingly feeling, especially in my face. i didn't see my vision going black but i'm pretty sure if i had kept going i would've fainted in a few seconds. i did not keep going because my sister was in the next room. i think that is right though, and when i attempt i think i will position the noose the same. however, i am unsure about the necktie and the point of hanging. i'm not too concerned about being found, since the megathread says half an hour should be plenty, and my research elsewhere shows some people die within a few minutes. i'm just worried the tie will break, the knot will come undone, or the point of hanging will fall down. i will give some background. right now, i am practicing in my bathroom. my shower is not a shower with a curtain rod. it has a real shower door. when the door opens there is a metal frame on top and on the sides. the sides are installed into the wall. it is pretty old and i'm not sure how sturdy it is, but it doesn't seem too bad. i am attaching my ligature to the top of the shower frame, and so far i have not had any problems, but i am worried it will fail. and the necktie. i read a thread on here where the poster hung himself with a necktie and the necktie broke. so i am worried about this happening. i tied the necktie to the shower frame and pulled down as hard as i could, and it did not budge. however, this was not my full weight. i am using partial, so i am not purposely putting my full weight on the tie, but once i go unconscious i'm not sure if my full weight will go on the tie. i would think my feet would still be touching the floor but i am not sure. i know after going unconscious the body tends to seize or flail around, so if this happens i am not sure if the tie can withstand this. so far it has seemed pretty sturdy when i put my weight on it and pulled on it really hard, so it might work. my other options for hanging are a nylon dog leash (round leash, not flat, but really short so it might be hard to tie the noose and have enough length to secure it, plus the mega thread says not to use nylon) and a rubber extension cord (not sure how sturdy or if i will be able to compress arteries properly). any tips are appreciated. i am fairly confident in my plan right now but i would like more peace of mind it will not break and fail before i follow through.
