Greetings, friends. As mentioned in the title, I have attempted to hang myself several times but it somehow isn't working. I'll explain my setup so you all can try to understand what's going on.
My anchor point is a sturdy wooden closet rod. The anchor knot being used is either a bowline knot or the snuggle hitch knot (depending on the attempt). The noose knot I use is either a simple noose knot or a slip knot (depending on the attempt). The rope I use is either 5/32 inch paracord or 3/8 inch nylon double-braided marine dock line depending on the attempt, each of them can hold 550 lbs and each one is thrown over a closet door.
I've recently been attempting full hanging. The main issue that I'm having is that, even when the noose starts right at the top of the door, it doesn't stay put enough to actually lift me up, let alone cause me to pass out. In fact, the rope (not the noose part but the long part) likes to slide down through the top of the door. I'm able to get down on the ground on both of my feet with the noose still tightly on. The noose can be pretty tight but never enough to cause me to pass out.
I want to know if any of you have any idea on what I might be doing wrong so that I can do it right and finally break these chains. Thank you for your time and attention.
