My health is deteriorating very quickly from a chronic disease. I'm in a world of pain that's about to get worse if I don't end it properly myself. I'm a little frantic
so please forgive my multiple questions today. I'm out of time, overwhelmed and trying to get through all the info on the site. If anyone can help me avoid screwing this up, I would be eternally grateful. I have so many questions and at most a day left.

I want to do a full suspension hanging:

I am 105lbs and will have a structural beam to hang from. Distance from the floor is 81inches. I am 64 inches tall. The beam itself is 16 inches.

I have an 11mm rope that is used for rock climbing. Specs say it's high tenacity polyester. I read you don't want any stretch but is there any reason this rope might be too thick?

I have looked at the videos for knot tying and rope placement and am about to try them. If someone could direct me to the most concise post/instructions I would appreciate it.

I should be alone for a whole day before i am found but thinking I should also take enough pills to overdose just in case. From the OD chart posted here, I don't have enough of any one of them alone but I have a low tolerance and have morphine, diazepam, clonazepam, Ativan Amitriptiline and zoplicone.

I'm not sure if I am overthinking this part but was also wondering if there are any drugs that would interfere or prolong death from hanging or any reason not to take them as a back up?

Hello @ghkdc529. I don't know drugs I can't help with that. To be honest I would not take anything before hanging.

The beam should hold if it's in good condition and properly fixed in place. However the distance between you and beam seems small. I'm not sure if it's enough for full suspension. It might end up being a partial. Those are not very successful.

The thickness of the rope should be the same as the thickness of your thumb.

Thank you for responding. I'm afraid of the distance being to close now. I read at least 1.5 ft is needed.

Hold on. Does the noose have to hang a certain distance from the anchor point to be effective? Why? I tied one but I'm worried it's a little short.

No. If the distance between the anchor point and the noose is short, that's not a problem. The noose can be close to the anchor point – it doesn't matter. What matters is the height of your support, which needs to be high enough. The support should be at least 40–50 cm (or 16–20 inches) high for full suspension. This is roughly the height of a standard chair.

As long as you can tie the noose high enough so that it's about the right height when you stand on your support, it's fine.

The problem in OP's case is that their anchor point is just too low. When they stand on their support, they won't be able to tie the noose high enough for full suspension. It can still work for partial, though.
