My date is Friday afternoon, I'm off of work and the one person who occasionally checks up on me will be working. I live alone so I'm going to wake up, get myself pretty and get wasted.

I'm doing a short drop full suspension hanging from the support beams in my attic/garage. I'm buying everything tomorrow. I have a few questions:

What kind of rope should I buy and how long? I don't know shit about ropes and I'm going to Home Depot

How do I test it?

I read something about putting a wash cloth behind my neck? Can someone elaborate?

People who have failed, why did you fail? I know the risks of failing and I just can't fail at this. This is the one thing in my life I can't mess up.

Hey, good luck man.

I'd buy a static (non-stretch) rope that is at least 10 feet long. Just make sure it is rated for your weight.

Once it's set up you can just pull down with all your weight.

I read that static rope is recommended because it doesn't stretch much, 12 mm thick will do. I think the cloth is to reduce the pain of the rope's friction or digging in especially in full suspension. You should test the rope's and the beam's strength first too.

Thank you. I plan on setting it up and swinging on it like a rope swing to make sure it will hold my weight. Im going to tie it to two connecting beans

I'm a girl lol but thank you. I'm not overweight or anything so I think most ropes should hold my weight. Sucks life turned out this way. I had it all figured out in my 20s now I'm 30 and everything fell apart.

Hah, sorry. I'd like to think man is gender less in that sense but clearly that isn't so. Lol.

I'm 34. I know about the feeling of being 30 with nothing.

Read these if you haven't, I'm mixing the three methods,I think that's the most efficient way, so if one fails, the others do the trick, I'll also take a considerate amount of xanax and get drunk (wanna make a toast in my last moment) I guess that'll inhibit the instinct, reduce the desperation with the calming effects, and make you not be too conscious of the process of passing out

Xanax and vodka won't kill me, only make me blackout. My body is strong as shit but my mind is weak.
