Have you already written your suicide note?

[Henryk]

I've been trying to write mine for months and I just don't know what to write. I'm almost giving up and leaving people with doubts

 

[the_path_of_sorrows]

I have almost finished mine but I'm trying to force myself not to end it just because not finishing the note is one of the very few reasons to stay for a little bit longer, just like I've planned.

 

[strangelife]

Yes I did personal notes for most important people, 3

 

[Lost in a Dream]

Yes. I wrote 2 personal ones intended for specific people in my life, and a third one that's written to anyone who gives a shit to read it. It contains all my opinions on the right to die and antinatalism.

 

[theboy]

Yes

The only advice I have if you do write a note, is don't try to force yourself to do it. Just thinking about your personal reasons for wanting to leave, and deciding for yourself if you're really ready to go should help. The words will just come to you naturally like they did for me.

This is a topic I'm also struggling with. My first idea was to write four letters one for my parents, my ex, my best friend and finally my friend group. I found that writing to my friend group is so hard since everyone is different and it will not be that personal. The overall feeling didn't feel that great even and it was quite depressing, but could maybe be because I was in a dark place when I wrote it.

My ex said she didn't want any contact ever again so I will comply even in the grave, but it was also a blessing since I don't know how to even write such a letter.

My main focus will be writing to my best friend, who then can relay my message in his own way. I've written it pretty casual and not in a special format just listing things that come up in my mind and thoughts I have for him to better understand what I'm going through.

The last letter is for my parents, it will be pretty short since they know what I have been going through and is more and less a thank you note.

 

[bunny_brownie9]

yep parent, friends, 2 other family members and a 'general' one for whoever finds me.

Will probably alter them before.

 

[EmptyHeaded]

I played with the idea but ultimately discarded it. There is nothing of worth I could put into one, and I doubt anyone I know would read it anyway.

 

[LunarCharm]

I'm in a similar boat about my ex; we recently broke up and doesn't want contact but im debating writing a letter regardless because im not fully sure what he would want in this scenario haha

Maybe you can write a letter and give it to someone else to hold it for a while until he is ready?

 

[Buh-bye!]

Yes. I wrote 2 personal ones intended for specific people in my life, and a third one that's written to anyone who gives a shit to read it. It contains all my opinions on the right to die and antinatalism.

i would definitely love to read the third one, should i dm you for that ??

 

[dinosavr]

I have a billion of drafts, unfinished ones etc but yeah, I guess people won't be left with nothing, even if I decided to ctb right now.

 

[loslassen]

I wrote several but they keep getting outdated with all my new experiences… wether I get better or go downhill, if/once I'm decisive I'd have to write some the very night before I ctb.

 

[Hunter2005]

No I'm not writing a note

Just tell whoever may love you that they're not to blame to absolve anyone of guilt

 

[26mmmm]

I've started it recently, mainly for clarity about my past and current situation - "self discovery". It's definitely helped me a bit.
I haven't decided to CTB yet, suicide is only an option.

 

[dggtscccvfd]

I've written one for family, one for friends, one to wider society (containing my views on the right to die), and one for the coroner.

 

[EmptyHeaded]

Eh, there isn't anyone. Luckily, I suppose.

 

[The Schizoid]

I have no friends personally, no relationship partner.

But i do have first degree relatives.

So you're saying no one knows you and could possibly miss you? All family dead?

 

[dragonofenvy]

I've written a lot but end up rethinking them. I've got 2 currently, one for my family and the police, and another for the couple of people I know online if they bother reading them. I write about some of the things that happened to me in life that made me end up hating it since I was young, how nothing could fix it, and how my current situation still sucks and that there's not a future for me. I have a problem where I can't be concise and write too much so I'm always ditching and trying to shorten them. Not sure why I go through the effort when nobody but the coroner will read it but whatever.

 

[SevenDayWeekend]

No note for me - I couldn't care less what people think about after I'm gone. Besides I have so few people in my life and less who would even care less understand, it would be futile. I have no possessions of worth to leave and nothing to tell them.

 

[Meteora]

Some yes. My last will is not yet ready.

I've been trying to write mine for months and I just don't know what to write. I'm almost giving up and leaving people with doubts

I can understand. Don't force yourself, do what is best for YOU. I have written different letters to different persons. Maybe that would be easier for you, too, to address it to a specific person?

 

[F@#$]

Several

 

[LunarCharm]

that could definitely be a good idea,
I just don't think he'd ever be ready for it. He left saying he still loves me
all I know is when I CBT I would want him at the funeral
thank you for the idea :]

Im not even going to write one. Nothing i have to say is worth anything while im alive, it will mean even less once dead

 

[EmptyHeaded]

I have family, it's just that they don't care.

This is a problem, I would like to say some things to specific people but when I start writing it seems like it's not enough. There's also the problem that I don't know if I should really write to certain people, like my ex, for example, she was the great love of my life, today she has her own life and in a way she's happy with her life, I don't want to ruin it. all over again, understand? I think it would be better if she forgot me and didn't even know about my death

 

[The Schizoid]

Sucks. If you have left over issues with your family I'd consider just writing the note anyway, just in case.

Eh, I'm not the type of person that talks about interpersonal stuff and such. Feels weird to me.
