Why the long face? Cause I don’t wanna live here.

Writing a letter would just put more pressure on me. I want to disappear into death while letting the chips fall where they may.

Some would say most things you say in a note would only make them feel worse and guiltier, especially if you blame yourself.

As I said in another topic, mine is just a short 6 line typed text that does not blame anyone, straight to the point. It is worth mentioning that I already talked with them plenty before, so they're aware of everything that needs to be said.

In my opinion if you don't want people to suffer keep the letter as "happy" as it can be, make it less about the bad and more about being peaceful about your long term decision. But that's just me.

I'll write one but not put much effort into it. My family are all aware of my suffering.

I have a note written so everyone who had a part in this no matter how big or small will know. I'm also wanting the world to know what a pos my lovely bf/domestic partner is and who the skank he cheated on me with is. If anything his family will disown him and mine will make sure he has nothing of mine to help him get by.

I'm hoping he at least somewhat still loves me and this haunts him for the rest of his life and all the other people will at least need a year or so of counseling for the part they played.
And I can't do this without letting my dad know how sorry I am and how much I loved him and how none of this was his fault.

I'm very conflicted as to whether I believe a suicide note is actually helpful to anyone. I don't have a lot I need to say, so I don't think I need it on my end. I'd like to keep people from hurting and falling apart after I'm gone, but I doubt there are words powerful enough to have any meaningful effect.

There's a good possibility physical notes will be evidence if the police are aware of them. Some family members have had difficulty getting them returned.

As to whether to leave a note or not, many parents who had one were torn about it and those who didn't were most often to wonder why. Again, it seems parents are torn about receiving a note as well.

My info is coming from a large private group of people that have lost someone to suicide.

I will not write, as it will not make a difference. I can't believe in changes anymore. Like me, my relatives will also disappear and one day they will be forgotten. Sorry for the negative thinking.

Yes it wouldn't be a shock to mine unless they're daft.

I don't live with them so a note would be to keep them from wondering what happened to me.

Do you live with them?

Many adults don't live with their parents and I imagine many don't write notes. I bet it's awkward having a family member disappear.
