Something someone wrote on Quora.
"I used to practice making myself pass out (there is a special way to do this), so I imagine it is a more serious version of that. I've also lost consciousness during some of my more serious road accidents.
If you constricted your breathing by having something tight around your neck, you would start by consciously holding your breath, you would continue to get a little dizzy and light headed. Your skin would become prickly and you would feel a bit warmer all over. You would feel your pulse more and more all over your body, but especially in your neck. It would start to make your whole head pulse and become all that you hear in your ears. Blood would be able to be forced into your head, but wouldn't be able to drain back out easily, it would create a bad headache pretty quickly. This excess blood would put pressure on your most sensitive organs causing discomfort and lack of sensory perception, your eyes, the inside of your nose and the inside of your ears.
Once your natural breath holding skill comes to an end, you would begin to feel panic. Whether you wanted to or not, your body would tell you this isn't right, it would feel like the walls are closing in on you, that your heart wants to pop out of your chest and your eyes are bulging out. Almost like being paralyzed and slowly drowned. This is because the adrenaline would start to flow through your system. You would instinctively kick around in order to bring breath back to your lungs and because of the adrenaline in your system, you would have extra strength in doing so. This would be the really scary part.
After that the prickly skin and light headedness would eventually lead to your vision going blurry and blackness taking over your vision. You would lose your strength due to the lack of oxygen and your mind would feel sleepy and complacent to the pending death.
You would pass out.
During this special way I used to make myself pass out, that is where I would start to breathe again. I would regain consciousness usually after about 30 seconds of being out. However, if hanging, your body would continue to try to breathe for another minute or two in the hope that once the subconscious takes over, breathing would resume, but the rope would stop that.
Unsuccessful after that, your heartbeat would slow to a stop. Who knows what the brain would feel at that point."
Something's wrong for me. Still can't do it. Tried partial again. I keep trying whenever I get the time & privacy.
But still can't do it.
Me too, I need to go, I'm desperate.
There are a lot of posts saying done wrong, you will slowly suffocate for a long time, which I'm a bit nervous about.
