I want to hang myself full suspension style but I'm having a lot of trouble with knots. When I practice with a stick and a short piece of rope I can do the knots. The problem is my rope is long and my knots don't end up looking right even though I'm following the instructions exactly. I'm getting desperate enough that I might just go ahead and hang anyway. Hopefully the knots would hold.

If you want it to tighten significantly (without the head exploding feeling from blocking the veins instead of the arteries from not tightening enough) then make sure to dip the rope in soap and oil and lubricate it so it tightens a lot easier and make sure you have a strong thin rope that can hold 5 times your weight (the thinner the rope, the more it compresses the arteries because it digs into the neck better than a thick rope) plus the pain will only last 5 to 20 seconds. Also make sure the rope is above your Adam's apple to compress the arteries significantly more than the airways. And make sure the knot is at the back of your neck. One more note: make sure you have a noose knot which this is what I mean: "https://www.animatedknots.com/noose-knot" and NOT the hangman's knot noose because the hangman's noose doesn't really tighten that much and it is a misconception of the noose.
Also add a stopper knot so it doesn't go undone.

I'm sorry you have to suffer, I always wish it's not so difficult to be permanently free from this existence, I wish there's the option to simply cease existing in peace and never suffer ever again and I see so much cruelty in how I cannot just have that, I hope you find the relief you search for.

There are knot tying guides all over the Internet you can search out. There are probably even some in the Hanging Megathread in the Suicide Compilation Sticky.

In this video the noose knot is explained very easily:



It might be a good idea to cut the rope to the length you need, if you've already found a good anchor point. This will help you tie the knots more comfortably.
