hello, i'm new here. i wanted to ask if people think puncturing the carotid artery is a viable way to go out? i've read the pinned post cautioning against cutting/stabbing but was wondering if that also applies to the neck. i'm running out of options as partial and SWB haven't worked for me so a second opinion would be appreciated.

The thought has crossed my mind. I'm too fearful to attempt it, I'm still working on partial

I am sure that would sting for a bit. I guess drinking yourself numb might help that. I am not expert.

i'd be too scared of missing it and suffering with blood loss/suffocation 😭 unless i had a two pronged sword and an x ray to see the artery

I knew a guy who ctb cutting wrists. I know most people fail at this because they think cutting the superficial veins you can see on your wrists will work but this is unlikely. You would have to cut deep and sever an artery. Succeed in cutting an artery anywhere in your body and almost sure success. Only way you won't die is if someone calls ems and even then you're likely to die because you'll bleed out fast and unlikely they could get u to a hospital in time to save you.

It would certainly work, but cutting it open would be no small feat.
