Exited once, now stuck

[wow_nonamesleft]

 I managed to exit once(and exit fast). I do believe it was a real AP, a few seconds though, I saw my body, room, woke up facing the way I saw myself, and blah blah ect...
*Tech: The rope(worked first time), other times, mix between rope and simply trying to throw myself out.*
But now, everytime I get into the sleeping body, awake mind, I have trouble on what to do next now, my first time I had a incredible vibration feeling, each time after Its been not as strong. I have been doing energy work, but I always feel I "can" just exit no problem, but I actually cant.

Exiting problem: First I start hearing the crazy noises, my body feels strapped down(paralys thing I guess) then I'm like ok Im ready leave, and what follows is I start feeling vibrations then try to leave, but it feels like(sometimes sounds like) I'm going really fast but not getting anywhere.I'm in total darkness.
I think I've read somewhere that someone had trouble exiting, but could see, I was wondering.. why cant I see. Is there anyway I can develop that, so I can help myself exit, I.E see something then, grab and pull myself out?
I'm totally motivated, as in I dont even have to think once about AP, to get in to the "zone" for it. But I think I have gotten discouraged from the "darkness highway" thing...any one else get that feeling?

So far out of all my recent attempted APs, its been in the afternoon, all failures, my closest exit I got stuck in my 3rd chakra, and actually hurt pretty bad, the memory caused me to fail on atleast 1 other attempt(fear), and now all attempts are failing from being discourage I guess.
Any idea on what do, maybe some "hang in there" s ?
