Edit: failed attempt. The rope snapped, you need a really sturdy one, not the one that looks sturdy. As for the method, scroll a bit down to seee the explanation of it. There is valuable info from other people combined with what I've learnt from this situation

Old post:
I tried ligature strangulation method without being hanged, it didn't work since I couldn't properly block carotids no matter how hard I tied the rope above or below Adam's apple. I think it is due to the fact that my neck is fairly wide from birth :). That's why I am thinking about proper full hanging or partial. I have dumbells (ranging from 2 to 24 kg), a 2m (3.28 feet) rope or a 1m closely-knitted belt, a door with a doorknob (obviously). Outside I have a sturdy pullbar that I can use for full hanging, however, the loop/noose should be high enough so I don't touch the ground.

I don't care about how I look after death, I just need a method to do it fairly quickly without rocket science.

The problem I am facing is that today is the perfect day, but I have no proper explanation about a knot I should make for either choice. (I am talking about the loop that will go around my neck and for thr other side). Would really appreciate images or videos showing the proper method. Thank you in advance.

I may be able to offer a few suggestion if you wish. Happy to do what I can at least. It can be very difficult trying to get things just right. Feel free to contact me via any means you feel comfortable using.

The most convenient rn is a hangman knot, already made it. (Here is my source: YT url)The issue lays in making the rope short enough (I have like 2/3 of the rope still left) that I need to tie around the pullbar outside
Also, is it possible to do a partial hanging with it? With partial hanging on the door I will eliminate the factor that my neighbors might see me doing it (since with the door I can do it inside). No one at home basically

A simple slip knot is the nest. you can rub soap on the rope to make it slide easier. The main thing is that the noose tightens quickly. A traditional "hangman's knot" might not.

Is this a correct knot?

Yes, I'm sure that would work. The main thing is that the noose tightens quickly and smoothly. The coiled "hangman's knot" won't necessarily do so.

For those wondering what I did:
- hangman knot (more complicated, but already did, so didn't want it to go to waste (you can do a simple slip knot for that side too) I've put a dumbell on that end of it and thightened it up
- I did a slip knot for my head (from the picture above
- I've put an end with the dumbell on it on the other side of the door.
- my head and slip knot on the other
- The rope goes over the door (above)
- My head is in the slip knot

So basically:
- On one side of the door is me, doing partial hanging (standing)
- rope goes over the door and hangs a dumbell on the other side of it.

I hope this attempt is successful. I will write back if it doesn't work to make sure that the info is correct (that it didn't work), but I hope it works.

I would use noose knot. It will easily tighten under weight.


With another end of the rope I would tie anchor knot

Sadly, I was too dumb and didn't properly prepare. The knots and dumbell idea worked, but the rope I chose looked sturdy, but it snapped in the point where it was hanging from the door (the very top). However, I can assure you that the knots really worked, I felt it tightening on my neck. I was commited, but I felt the urge to stand up. However, holding the breath tip from another post really helped not tweaking about it. If the rope didn't snap, I would've been knocked out by now and dead later on. Also, this method does not properly knock you out if ypu have a big neck (or bad technique), so make sure ypu are fine with it if you try to attempt the same method. Thank you for the help tho. I hope the info from this post will help someone. Since if I would've done it again - it would be the same method, just better rope.

As for myself, my neighbors were at home and looking at my window for some reason, so they saw my failed attempt and rushed here. Judging by their reaction and messages I've got from my family now - the next attempt won't be possible, they won't let me. At least for the near future.

The main tip I can give here: prepare thoroughly. Materials, knots, method. Everything matters, 2 days of prep is not enough. Killing yourself is not easy.

If you wanna hang yourself please make sure nobody will catch you. You can end in serius brain injury which can even put you in a vegetative state if you get "saved" after a few minutes

Thank you for mentioning it here, but I knew this information beforehand. No one was at home and the only small window in the corridor of my neighbors was half-closed, so I thought no one would see. A bad luck combined with bad preparation

May I ask what kind of rope was it? What diameter was it exactly? What material? Was it a natural rope, like cotton or hemp? Or was it a synthetic material, like nylon or polypropylene?

I think it was typical polyester rope, solid brade one. This material broke too easilly

Thanks for your info.

I have also the problem of only having one door accessible (unforutnalty no other point for fixture in my room). Did you have the door Fully closed cause the rope seems kind of too thick for it.
I am Asking if putting something on the top of the door like a cloth or anything else migh help better cause that is my main fear.

My door has a bit of a gap above it. The problem is that my rope fits because it is too fluffy and elastic, so it broke under my weight. The rope was like twice in diameter to the gap above the door, but it was squeezed by the door, so it's diameter is not the issue. However, I'm not sure it would've fit there if it was an actual sturdy rope. It is a good idea to check the fit and rope strength first. I have a pullbar outside, so it is not the issue to check the strength, but I have no idea how to check it in the typical in-door situation, sorry.

My door to the bathroom unfortunatly has only like a 5mm gap at the bottom and and the top it goes in like an l shape so it is bigger than the hole itself.
I sucks but i have though of maybe a mobile pullbar i could wedge into the frame but am not sure if it holds so i will have to experiment.

You dont have to apologize, your thread and you are very informative and helpful!
