Help Can’t find carotid artery

[Ryan.s]

I tried doing partial tonight (my first time only doing it as practice) I did this partial suspension hanging practice run completely sober (the first time) so that I could observe everything. I placed the noose around my neck at many places (using laying down position method). I placed the noose right under my Adam's apple, and also in the middle of the Adam's apple. I'm a big guy so I have a thick neck. This may be the problem. Is there a guide out there or someone who can tell me what I should do to find my carotid artery? (Due to my situation, I cannot use any other method, partial is my only option so I just need guidance on how to locate my carotid artery given that I have a thick neck) I'm starting to think being able to constrict the carotid arteries is pure luck. I guess I have to just keep trying?


I looked in the mirror. As you can see the rope marks are in the middle of the Adam's apple, and under the Adam's apple. I've tried putting the rope above the Adam's apple and it never makes me pass out.

I struggle too. I'm female and I guess I've got a thick neck also but I'm sure there's a knack to it. I attempted last week and managed to pass out and was in and out of consciousness for a while. But I reckon if they'd have found me later it would have worked. It can take up to 7 minutes to work

Cartoid artery should be at the edge of the solid part of your oesaphagus. Let me find a picture for it...

Edit: Here it is

I feel hopeless. Like I can't even choose when my own suicide occurs. I've tried time and time again to find the carotid artery and I always fail.

My understanding is if you can find your pulse, you can find your carotid arteries. Don't overthink it.

I feel your exact pain. I tried this method when I was suffering greatly, in and out of severe heroin withdrawal, I had a noose made of sheets hanging from my shower door for 8 months. I tried so many times, I mentally prepared myself for death, but could never find it. Always hit the jugular... not sure if it was because I was 99 lbs (female), with high blood pressure from withdrawal... but I didn't even have money or access to get proper rope or anything, that's how rock bottom I was. I need a better method, but with my bad luck in life, I'll survive it. I didn't realize how unreliable this method was, that you could come in and out of consciousness and still wake up! Wtf.

This was in 2015 I only had access to Google groups back then, I didn't know there was a subreddit for this forum. I'm looking at SN but that sounds hard to get, I can't get a prescription for meto, my doc will laugh and give me gravol and be like "it will work, it will for nausea". Ugh this is why I keep thinking I'm living in a different reality, or a simulation. With my luck I'll lose money on N and survive SN. That is how pathetic my luck is. I don't play the lottery anymore lol

It's no wonder celebrities almost always succeed in their suicide attempts. They clearly won the pot of gold of luck, in everything they do. Such a horrible thing to think but it's what I think.

 

[Ryan.s]

I'm suffering really bad. I just want to find the carotid artery and go. I want to go tonight. I'm tired of waking up every morning knowing that I'm too stupid to even be able to hang myself.

Maybe they pay people to help them.

Plz pm me bro

I'm on the same boat, I've been practicing

I'm on the same boat, I've been practicing for the past several days with varying results, I just tried a few minutes ago without much success passing out, I'll resume trying in a few minutes.

It's not evidence of being stupid. Don't be so hard on yourself.

I've been practicing for a while and I'm just like you. I can't pass out and the marks on my neck are a problem. not to mention pain in the trachea and neck from practicing it. Unfortunately where I live the sn is out of my reach, I only have that option and I have no choice but to continue practicing until I achieve it

 

[Mr. ‘K so?]

Feel for a pulse in between your Adam's apple and your ear, the try tracing it down to your collarbone. The main thing is you should be able to push it and breathe at the same time. If you choke, it's not right

 

[new life]

I have ever been able to find it that why I am pretty set on CO.

 

[almaranthine]

Struggling with the same issue as you, though I am a short, thin female, mid-twenties. I'm also thinking it is pure luck. I've tried so many times, barely moving the noose, making the most subtle adjustments over and over again trying to hit that "sweet spot". I've never been able to get it to work and never felt I was close to passing out.

In other news, it's super fun going to work with suspicious ass marks on one's neck.

It definatly is better for hem to think that, at least you can keep your ctb or suicidal fuckup in your words a secret. LOL this made me laugh..

I think the best thing to do here is to try with your fingers first. I found mine but couldn't pass out whilst pressing them with fingers as my arm would start shaking and I'd lose my grip. And I cannot find them every time. The siphon effect afterwards is always nice though. Like someone drops a nice cup of warm water down the back of your head. But in a nice way.

Before attempting this I read a lot on wiki about the muscles around the carotid artery, in particular the sternocleidomastoid muscle as the artery sits just inside that (as in toward the windpipe). Also pay attention to the part on the carotid triangle as that is useful.

Wiki link is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_carotid_artery

After that I then watched a video on YouTube regarding how to find them with regard to palpation.


Also if you have access to a mirror use this as I noted that even though I know where my Adam's apple is then when I was feeling to the side of it I was a lot higher than I thought I was. However don't stand whilst doing it otherwise you may fall and hurt yourself.

The thing to remember with a rope or similar is that it is a straight line so it needs to be extremely tight to get to them past the Adam's apple (especially if you have a pronounced AA like mine) or sternocleidomastoid muscle, which is why some people choose to place padding over the top of each of them to press down on them further (similar to the night night method but without the ratchet).

As I say, I haven't passed out from it yet but I'll be trying to do just that before I start with a rope.

I love your advice. Can you elaborate on this part, "The thing to remember with a rope or similar is that it is a straight line so it needs to be extremely tight to get to them past the Adam's apple (especially if you have a pronounced AA like mine) or sternocleidomastoid muscle, which is why some people choose to place padding over the top of each of them to press down on them further" Are you saying to put padding on the parts of the rope where the two carotid arteries will be in order to push the arteries in more?

Hi, yes that's right. Just something over each artery (but not the AA) that means the rope pushes into the object that then pushes into the artery.

That is my " sweet spot "

 

[Saed]

I can find the pulse,no problem. Try as I might,I can't ever pass out either. It's like pressing om them makes them receed alongside somekind of muscular resistance.Really hard to describe.

I feel the same damn way. I'm so frustrated that I can't induce passing out at the very least. NN was my preferred method. I don't want to rely on SN.

Try not to over think it. Drink lots and maybe have smoke. Then try it. If you do it right it's game over.
