Will this work?

[Djx]

Plan is to use a rope, tie it to the doorknob of a closet, throw it over the top of the door, and use the other end (a noose) to hang myself. Will that work?

I wouldn't trust the doorknob to hold for full suspension but it would most definitely work for partial. Use a slipknot for the noose and it will work as long as you have the determination to leave.

Also, make sure to lock the door. If there's no lock, jam the door shut and throw the rope over the door the way it closes.

So how does partial suspension work? Do I just kneel down and lean into the noose? Couldn't I just stand up at any time?

Kneel down or try to sit down/let your legs go, I find sitting works but some people do it simply leaning forward. If you feel intense blood build up (pain) in your head, there probably isn't enough pressure on the noose.

Yes, you can simply stand up to release to abort. If you have a good ligature and knot you will still have to pull at that as well when you stand up to loosen it.

The chances you follow through to completion the first time attempting are most likely very low, it may give you the realization that your not ready yet. You'll probably have to play with it a bit to get it right unless your extremely determined and just go for it.

Eh I think I'll just go with N a more surefire method.
