Help Suddenly can't make myself pass out.

[HenryHenriksen_6E]

So, before coming on here for real, I found the suicide resources where there was a thread on how to hang yourself properly. Here I found advice on partial hanging, along with how to make yourself pass out with your fingers. Fast forwards a month or two, I had a shitty enough day to try it, and it felt amazing. Was on the verge of blacking out, but I was too afraid to go any further. Then I did it again later. Fast forwards a couple more months, and I find myself practicing for the partial hanging, which is the first time in a while where I tried to pass out with my fingers. Guess what? It didn't work. And trust me, I tried a lot of things, put pressure on alot of different places, tilted my head in different orientations, read the exact same thread. I tried on different days, hell I even tried doing it with a belt, with or without it attached to anything. (Realized the belt might not work at all. Luckily I have decent enough rope to my avail, but haven't tried that.)

What worries me is that I am incapable of cutting bloodflow to my brain anymore, meaning my only way of leaving this dumbass rock is gone. Yes, there still are ways for me, but none appeal to me like hanging. SN, even if it was available, makes me uncomfortable in case I regret it midway through, and jumping into traffic or from a high place seems way too scary. Meanwhile, hanging feels so much nicer, especially if I could replicate that euphoric feeling from passing out. It also feels more comforting to have something around my neck.

Back to the topic, I really don't know how I suddenly am incapable of making myself black out. Has anyone else struggled with this, or am I doing some sort of dumb beginner-level mistake?

It's really strange. This is also why I don't trust hanging. Imagine if the day you do it for real you don't pass out and suffocate. Horrible!

I can get lightheaded, although never to the extent I used to some months ago. Maybe it's because I did neck training between my experiments, but I don't think the results are that significant.

Found another technique though. Squat down - hyperventilate a couple of times - stand up - do the "equalize pressure when ears start hurting on plane" - repeat until I pass out. If I have a something around my neck, I might go peacefully.

I've been having the exact same issue you mentioned and I've been looking for a way to fix it because I'm playing on ctb in like 3 months and hanging is the only thing that is available+appealing to me and I can't pass out anymore, have you found a solution to it yet? Pls lemme know if you did!

I didn't really figure anything out the passing out part where I restrict my arteries, although I found another way to pass out. It's called induced syncope (you can search it up on yt), which is when you hyperventilate while squatting, then standing up and tighten a lot of muscles. Just please do it so you fall on a mattress if you decide to do it. I think there's a way to use this when ctbing, although I won't really go into much details, because giving this type of advice doesn't really sit well with me. You wouldn't have to dig too far for this info though.
