Is this too thick?

Is this too thick?

And what do I anchor This to?

Yes I think so, I ve just bought a 12mm climbing rope so I know it'll be ok to carry my weight.

Just don't know what to anchor it to…or how I think I got the slip right…

Are you doing indoor or outdoor? The hanging mega threads are a good source of information.

It's 12mm? Seems like a rough rope. Just don't know what to anchor it to and then how far to drop. Like off of a chair? Just kick the chair out? Thoughts?

Looks like your rope is hanging from a very sturdy anchor.

Right what do I tie the other end to? And this is a slip knot not a noose is that okay? I was told slip was best and now just saw a post about noose being best

I rather have a personal conversation about this so please send a private messenge since we have so much in common.I will also use 12mm and a chair/stool is just fine...

To test any setup you attach the rope, grab it with both hands and see if it will support your weigh. Looking at a picture is less reliable than testing.

It's impossible to tell if that rope is suitable for full suspension hanging or not, since we don't know what its safe working load is. I would suggest buying a new rope just to be safe... but if you can't, you could test out the rope you just showed us by hanging on it using your hands instead of your head.

It seems to me that the concept of "anchor point" isn't clear to you, so let me explain: an anchor point is basically something you tie your rope onto so that it holds your weight while you hang.
The beam you showed us seems like a good anchor point, so that means you can tie your rope to it and it should hold your weight while you're hanging.

I hope that clears it up.

By the way, you seem too nervous about this, are you sure you wanna do this? To me you don't sound ready. But hey, maybe I'm wrong in thinking that.

Because I'm afraid I'm gonna mess it up want to do it right but seems like there's no right answer
