Help Should I change methods?

[bum]

I've been planning on CTB and did a test run yesterday (lots of safeguards, don't worry) for context I was going to do partial hanging, but when trying to put my legs forward I chickened out, my body refused to drop.
I can't do kneeling PH, so I've started to look into ligature strangulation
With the test I did this morning, I couldn't feel any blacking out sensation, my neck just really hurt and left a mark (I padded my neck) . Could that be because the knot wasn't tight enough?
Anyways, I've been wondering if I should find a way to stop getting cold feet when dropping, or if there's any thorough guides on LS

Honestly ligature strangulation rarely works, partial is better but if youve got a way of doing fsh id recommend you try that.
