Discussion The ligature causes pain by applying pressure over the Adam's Apple

[monotonusmonkey]

Facing three issues:

1. The rope is coming over the Adam's Apple and causes pain.
2. I don't think the rope is able to compress my carotids.
3. Wayy to fearful to jump off the chair can't get over this.

I am using the noose knot, knot at back of neck, around 8 - 10 mm rope used for hiking etc. Should I add some folded socks at sides and some other padding over Adam's Apple?

when I made attempts I started with rope above Adam's apple, near jawline, fwiw. Leaning into it was uncomfortable but not on Adam's apple.

Yes I was also too fearful to just step off. Sucks. Sorry you're suffering too

It is frustrating to have an accessible method—knowing that a belt and a doorknob, or even just the clothes I'm wearing, would work to end my life—and yet still be here, repeating the same things, the same feelings, the same certainties. Every small gesture, every movement my body makes, feels involuntary. There would be no problem with that if I weren't, by sheer chance, conscious of the situation.

I agree
