Could this work? I gave it a mini test run and my head still hurts from it. I made a Slipknot noose ,got on a chair, put my head in inse the noose,kicked the chair and thankfully there were things under me I could stand on but it seemed to work and support my weight for the the 2-3 seconds I tried it.

I hadn't attached the other side of the rope to anything but I'll at least tie it to a door knob just in case.

Does the set up seem viable or is it bound for failure? 1000026311

I'd worry about unconscious thrashing turning the doorknob. A handle is worse than a circular knob. If you can lock it you're fine.

It was the bad eh? I was hoping to do FSH but scared of the pain. Did you get the exploding head feeling?

actually no! i used to get it all the time when i was younger, targeting the middle of my neck where my trachea is (partial suspension). this time i aimed for right where my neck and jaw meet, also partial, but it was a different head sensation. i think i'm just not used to that feeling compared to the partial artery obstruction and strangulation i expect when i think of hanging. when i go through with it i think id aim for full suspension with a ledge nearby in case its too uncomfortable, and go from there.

sadly it looks like it could possibly work, looks like a no-joke sailing rope or like a real rope

are you sure you want to do this?

why are you sad? have you tried to get help? not a pro-lifer... just asking, and feel free to just ignore this, no obligation to respond
i also don't know much about that method. i hope you feel better and am sorry you are sad.

I have a circular knob actually. I don't think I can lock it but I still managed the close the door which might be good enough

Help won't help enough. I'm just exhausted enough that this seems like the better option

looks pretty decent from the picture!

i'm curious, are you able to close the door fully or does it slightly protrude from the rope? also, where is the rope? near the hinges or the opposite end?

sorry to bombard you with questions...

Only seeing this now. I get to close it fully after applying pushing the door hard enough to close it. It doesn't event budge a tiny bit when I put my full weight on the rope. I can't practice it for long enough tho cause it kinda hurts.

The rope was passed over the door, in the middle of the door , the other end of the rope is now tied to the doorknob on the other side of the door.

very good sign!

got it, it may be best to place the rope near the hinges to account for the weight placed on them. however, if the door is fully closed and locked, then anywhere else should still hold due to the doorframe.

as for the doorknob, it would probably be more reliable to find any sturdy object that is cylindrical (rolled up clothes/towels, bottles, the handle of a dumbbell, etc.) or similar and tie your rope to that with a secure knot, then use that as your anchor point by placing it behind the side of the door that you are going to hang from, then slipping the rope back over. by "back over," i mean similar to your doorknob setup where the noose is on the other side from where the doorknob is, except the doorknob is replaced by the cylindrical object in this case. in both cases, the anchor is not going to counter your weight but to prevent the rope from possibly slipping through and letting you fall (like the anchor of a ship to prevent it from moving in water). the doorframe should account for said weight as i mentioned earlier.

door knobs in hangings tend to break and snap off easily so they aren't too reliable as an anchor.

if perhaps you know this already and i'm beating a dead horse, i apologize!

everything i said here was pretty much a summary of this much bigger thread that you can look at to confirm for yourself.

additionally, here are the pictures i used as reference (from the same thread): pic. 1, pic. 2, pic. 3

i hope this helps and wish the you the best. if anything i said was confusing, let me know

Oh wow this was extremely informative. I am confused about the anchor dumbbell. Would the dumbbell and the noose be on the same side of the closed door? Or would that only be if the other rope's end was slided under the door to attach the dumbbell but otherwise I could have the noose on 1 side on the door and simply attach the other side of the door to a dumbbell?

as you described, this may be achievable if you tie one end of the rope to the dumbbell's handle, then slide the other end of the rope (which is presumably tied in a proper noose knot) under the gap near the floor and over the door so that the noose and the dumbbell are on the same side. this is also fine since the dumbbell will prevent the rope from slipping.
otherwise I could have the noose on 1 side on the door and simply attach the other side of the door to a dumbbell
assuming you meant putting the noose on one side of the door and the attached dumbbell on the other side of the door, yes, this should also be stable.

the difference here is that one option has the rope going under AND over the door, whereas the other option has the rope simply going over the door.

both should be fine since the goal of the dumbbell/anchor point is to prevent the rope from dislodging.

Thank you for all this info. All that's left is practicing the set up then finding the courage to go through with it at the same time I somehow get an hour alone at home.
