Help Some odd things with the night-night method

[archipelago]

Been practicing NN method, only just used cornhole bags since it was tricky to get the nylons to stay on the arteries as directed in the 5 last acts book.

In the discussions about this method, including the mega thread, I see that you're supposed to feel dizzy during it if you're doing it right. Instead of feeling dizzy during, I feel a pressure in my head, but dizziness and a headache after remove the tourniquet. So does this mean I'm doing it right?

My head hurts a lot right now, Im worried that because I only feel the dizziness after that I may have pushed it too far during practice.

Also, how have you guys been able to keep the cornhole bags in place? I could definitely feel it pressing in more on one side than the other. Not sure that I want to use tape and get marks and burns if it doesn't work.

I feel scared. I need to leave by a certain date, just under 2 weeks, and it suddenly feels less peaceful and that I'm holding onto SI. I'm mailing off beneficiary to bank account changes today, and I want to throw up.

If I stay past the date, I'm going to have to face another huge trauma and I can't do it to myself anymore

Ive never attempted before because I always knew I had to succeed the first time, otherwise I would be in a worse off situation if I failed

I have SN (untested so far) but no way of getting a good antiemetic in Canada and metoclopramide can trigger seizures, when I already have epilepsy. If I start using it ahead of time and have a seizure I'll have no way to safely leave the house to be able to ctb

I feel so stuck

If you get the head pressure feeling, it means you're compressing the jugular veins but not the carotid arteries, which basically means you're trapping the blood in your head with no way out, which is bad. You should start blacking out in 10-15 seconds, otherwise you're doing it wrong.

Thanks for answering. I don't think this is going to be my go-to method anymore, maybe a backup. I have epilepsy and don't want to fuck myself up trying to practice, it would make it difficult for me to have the privacy to actually ctb when ready =/

Have you succeeded finding your carotid arteries on both sides n blocking it/put lots of pressure on both sides with your hands only? And see if u can pass out

Thats the first priority step

if youre unable to block both your carotid it wont work

No, as I mentioned this isn't a method I'm considering anymore. I thought I knew where the carotid was but I don't, so it seems unreliable for me.
