Does this count as a suicide attempt? (Possible Triggering Details Inside)

...See more So this happened about a year ago and I was wondering if it actually counts as an attempt so I know what to tell my therapist. Yes, I'm just now thinking about telling her about this. Anyways here's what happened: I had an old jump rope from my childhood, fashioned some sort of noose out of it, threw it over a door, closed the door, locked the door, and sat on the counter with the noose around my neck. Eventually I decided to just do it, do something. My feet were still kind of touching the ground but I started to black out pretty fast. My ears started to ring and my eyes felt like they were gonna pop out of my head. I panicked- even though I wanted to die. I sat back up on the counter again. Eventually my parents picked the lock on the door and just saw me sitting there with a noose around my neck, I didn't tell them that I had done anything. I don't know if I can even call what I did an attempt because I didn't go through with the entire thing. I stopped it before I could even lose consciousness. What do you even call that? Yes, I did what I did fully intending to die but panicked before any damage could be done.
