Help Failed attempt FSH

[MissAbyss]

I tried to attempt full suspension hanging today, but it failed.

Everthing was set in place, I was "Ready Steady Go..". The noose was very tight, just below my jawline and the knot behind my neck. I stood on a chair and slowly lowered myself to apply pressure on my neck, (I have a mirror in the hallway, and in it, I saw my face quickly turning purple-blueish). I noticed that my breathing wasn't completely cut off, so I could still breathe a little. I didn't felt any pain or unease.
There was some pressure building up in my head, but I didn't feel like I was going to lose consciousness, after about 15 seconds (counting in my head), I stopped.
After that I tried two more times,which also didn't seem to work properly and I gave up.

What did seem to work is that my sinuses are really loosen, I'm practically sneezing my eyeballs out!

Please, can someone perhaps enlighten me what I might have done wrong? It's really frustrating.

Thank you

@CC123 will be your best resource for this.

Pressure building up in your head usually means you have compressed the jugular vein but not the carotid arteries. So blood was coming in but could not leave. That will still work but will take longer and that feeling of pressure makes it feel like your head is going to pop.

Thank you for answering.

My neck is thin and I used a 12mm rope, unbelievable it still was not enough to compress the carotid arteries too.
