Fainting or syncope (SAMPA: /"sIn.k@.pi/ or /"sIN.k@.pi/) is a sudden (and generally momentary) loss of consciousness due to a lack of sufficient blood and oxygen reaching the brain. The first symptoms a person feels before fainting are dizziness, a dimming of vision, or brown-out and feeling hot. Moments later, the person's vision turns black and he or she drops to the floor (or slumps if seated in a chair).
Factors that influence fainting are taking in too little food and fluids, low blood pressure, hypoglycemia, physical exercise in excess of the energy reserve of the body, and lack of sleep. Even standing up too quickly or being in too hot of a room can cause fainting.
Recommended treatment is to allow the person to lie on the ground with his or her legs a little elevated. As the dizziness and the momentary blindness passes, the person may experience visual disturbances in the form of small bright dots (phosphene). These will also pass within a few minutes. If fainting happens frequently, or if there is no obvious explanation, it is important to see a doctor about it.
More serious causes of fainting include cardiac (heart-related) causes such as an abnormal heart rhythm (an arrhythmia), where the heart beats too slowly, too rapidly or too irregularly to pump enough blood to the brain. Some arrythmias can be life-threatening. Other important cardiac conditions that can manifest with syncope include subclavian steal syndrome and aortic stenosis.
Fainting can also be due to neurological disorders, stress, etc.

Buy a doll and try love it . Then after a few weeks try to cut its wrist skillfully. You will feel the pain within as you damaged the loved item. Similarly, start loving yourself and caring for yourself. I wish I could sit with you and give you company so that these ideas disappear from your mind. Best of luck Be Positive, Think Positive and behave positively.

It is not a good thing to make yourself faint.
The easiest way to do it is to locate you major blood flow pipeline to your brain. It is otherwise known as the carotid arteries. It runs laterally on both sides of your neck. If you put your index and the middle finger on both sides, massage by compressing both vessels against your neck simultaneously. Lack of blood flow to the brain is the easiest way. It has been demonstrated that when a persons heart is beating very fast, decreasing the blood flow to the brain will intimidate the pumping and the flow of blood to the brain.

this really works, but dont do it just in case.
u need a friend.
squat down against a wall in a comfortable room.
breath in and out heavily 30 times.
take 1 slow breath.
breath in and out heavily 30 times.
then take a really deep one and hold it for 2-3 secs, while you stand up still against the wall.
then your friend presses firmly but gently against your chest while you hold your breath.
........ then you will force massive amounts of oxygen into the brain causing u to faint.
This is not recommended, you could die, fall, burst a blood vessle. or freak out.
