So I called it off for tonight, but not without trying and getting my heart really racing, I can still feel where the rope was tight around my neck, like a touch of rope burn. It feels good in a weird way. I had everything in place and tied to the basement roof beam, I set everything up, I was standing on the stool, which is one of those spin-y stools. As I was letting myself down just to play around with the tightening sensation, the stool unexpectedly started spinning and I almost lost my footing and fell off. I caught my footing before I actually hung but that feeling of losing control in the process scared me and I managed to stop it. Boy did that get the ticker ticking.
Anyway, this was yet another half hearted, impulsive, just desperate attempt at an attempt, it's the end of the day and I'm very tired, and I'm going to sleep on it. I hope the physical pain subsides soon since it is making me crazy.
Thanks for all of your concern and company to those who replied. Better luck next time for sure.
