i'm a long time lurker and this is my first and hopefully, only post.
ok to explain the picture, it's not my finished set up but it's to show what i have. that's as high up as i can get the rope over the door while leaving room for my head to get in. the little black stool is what i plan on kicking. the black workout bench was from me seeing how high up i can go at the door. while practicing, i let one leg off the stool and had one foot still on the stool, not on top of it, but towards the middle of it where the stool has gap between the feet. (see picture). it's hard to practice much because i get so light headed, but when i practice it's hard to tell if my feet will touch the floor a bit and cause an issue when im fully hanging, it seems like it's a pretty small gap between my feet and the floor. i'm only 5'2 and don't weigh much i really thought this set up would be ready to go by tonight ive been planning for a while and im so upset and frustrated. i live in an apartment so my only other option is pretty much just to find a tree late at night but im so scared of doing that and getting caught. i live in a decently busy city. i guess i could go to another city and stuff but still doing that in the open at night is a lot harder than doing it in my own home but if i have to idk…
i cant 100% tell if this will be an issue when i fully stand off my stool i feel like my feet will just graze the floor but obviously thats not something one would wanna risk. i'm so frustrated and upset ive been planning this specific time for weeks (despite being suicidal for many years) and i felt so ready to go. this is all so frustrating and intimidating alone :/
