Do you have a suicide note?

[Jade10666]

I've written one, but I have torn it up.

They never really seem to accomplish what I am trying to say?

What do you think you should say?

 

[Blueberry Panic]

I've made so many suicide notes , but I've always made sure to have one incase something happens and I decide to ctb early .

I have written 5 letters to those who have had a positive impact upon my life from when i was 16 to now.. to given to those people upon my death be at my own hand or when my illness finally catches up i still have my actual single note to write but i have a rough draft on my phone... they are all in an old pirate style chest along with my will and all my journals and diaries.. they is also an SD card with some vidoes of me talking about stuff and all my favorite music..

i have one typed up. writing would be a waste of paper, at this stage, given the number of iterations it's gone through.

a good suicide note, i think, is balancing act between saying too little and saying too much. in the former case, one risks leaving more questions than answers. in the latter case, one risks placing unintended blame on the recipient(s), thereby drawing out the grieving process. it's hard!

HOW TO WRITE A SUICIDE NOTE

I don't have a suicide note

 

[UserFromNowhere]

Yeah. Writing my suicide note up on a computer then writing it onto paper is what's basically determined my death. It's not the suicide note itself or the feeling that "I've written a note so I have to." But more the fact that it has gotten so bad that I've written a note and my mental health is that bad. Bar something happening which magically changes my life and outlook, at least it'll provide closure for my friends and family.

I have 6 to family and various groups of friends. I did write most of them months ago, so I may need to update it.

Also I keep meeting new people and befriending them and on the back of my mind I go "crap, another note to write"

I guess. But it makes me feel guilty for having this desires because I know the impact it will have on people.

I have the very same feelings - its hard to CTB without that sense of guilt -

I'm definitely gonna make one, and I pretty much know what I'm gonna say in it.

I'm only gonna make it before I CTB tho.

Just gonna leave a goodbye thread that'll only be read by you guys. I've nothing to say to the people in the real world.

If I plan to ctb, I also will leave a goodbye thread because the people here are the only true people who understand me.

I feel like I've written so many, physically and electronically. Now im kinda tempted to go through my notes app and see what hasn't changed

 

[FuneralCry]

I would say that I wish to cease existing as I'd always prefer to not exist than suffer in this cruel, torturous existence that I always saw as the most dreadful mistake, for me existing is so deeply undesirable in every way and I just find it so horrific how a human can suffer for so long just to die in agony from old age. I wish to cease existing so I can finally be at peace, I find it a burden to exist and it's a burden that only ever caused me to suffer, for me non-existence really is all that's positive, I'd never wish to exist no matter what.

I've heard leaving a suicide note can effect your life insurance Pay out. Don't know how true it is tho.
