What does blacking out look like from point of view.

Are your eyes open when it happens or do they close

they are open and you are doing stupid stuff (most of the time) that you don't remember next day and at the end you will probably go sleep and wake up without knowing anything you've done

I think they meant black out as in passing out, not as in drunk blackout.

well it has more meanings I guess I once tried to OD on pills and I "blacked out" but I woke up in hospital because I was saved (obviously) but they told me I was doing stupid stuff which I don't remember before I went off.

Your arteries are in there, believe me. You probably aren't applying enough pressure because damn survival instinct subconsciously prevents you from squeezing too hard with your own hands.

Carotid arteries run up and down your neck on either side. What you want is the proverbial sweet spot you see in crime shows and movies where attackers "magically" force their victims to pass out in a matter of seconds by compressing the internal and external carotids to block blood flow to the brain.

For me that's slightly above the middle of my neck so that's where the ligature is placed and firmly positioned so it doesn't slide up and down accidentally relieving the pressure.

I had a few "dress rehearsals" and used a heavy bathrobe belt tied with a simple slip knot anchored to my closet rod. I put the belt around the upper middle part of my neck, pulled it as super tight as I dared, and then bent my knees and leaned forward like I was fixing to fall on my face.

Saw white twinkly spots which started to swim and then everything got blurry and dim like looking through a dark scrim. Got lightheaded and came dangerously close to passing out.

All in all it wasn't too painful, except the tightness of the belt, before the light swimmy spots and dizzy darkening kick in. Didn't even feel the need to take a next breath between leaning forward and almost blacking out.

I did clonopin so kinda the same.

You do crazy shit but don't remember. Apparently, I repeat things when I'm blacked out.

I am assuming you mean when blacking out through carotid occlusion.
I haven't blacked out completely but I've been really close several times. In my experience, first the body goes numb and you feel drowsy. Then your hearing fades and your vision becomes smaller, you feel like passing out. But at this point my legs starts to shake and my SI kicks in and jolts me back just before passing out. My legs kept shaking and felt really tired and I end up sleeping after I try. Also It doesn't hurt when done properly. I've only had troubles when not enough pressure is applied and experience the head swelling feeling.

For me, I tend to jerk or even straight up get a seizure, and make weird sounds. Idk about my eyes
