Have you already written your suicide note?

[hfdepression30]

Or do you plan to write it on the day, or you're not leaving one?

I have one written on my phone, and I hand wrote one last night but threw it away this morning because I felt like it was rambling a bit. Not sure whether to keep it short and sweet or full details about everything I've felt and dealt with

 

[GenesAndEnvironment]

Don't see the point, maybe I'll just write an erotic short story and leave that behind.

O_O;;;;;;; that'll be some legacy you leave behind lol

 

[Tackingintothewind]

Dont think I will write a note.
Everyone who matters already knows I am or have been suicidal and why.
Ii might write one for the police however just to simplify their investigation.

 

[Mentalmick]

I done it once but my suicide failed and I just looked like an idiot. Fucking cringe fest.

 

[noname223]

I won't write one. I would be really really resentful and bitter. Instead I have a patient degree. In case my suicide fails.

 

[Breakout92]

I wrote one before my first attempt, nobody saw it but I still have it in an envelope. I wrote that one more for myself, to write about my life and what went wrong to get me to where I am today. It was 15 pages long, and I think I don't need anyone else to see it.

I plan to write another one the day of. That one will be directed to the people I leave behind.

 

[KolK]

I have already written mine, it's saved in Google docs. :)

Same, I'll probably just leave a quote.

 

[Lmd]

I've been ghosted for weeks. This person isn't a date or a random one, I don't even know what's wrong so I'm gonna leave a pretty fuck you message for them when I leave and maybe they read it in the next couple years.

 

[Mellowness]

I haven't wirtten one and I probably never will. Just the thought of writing one and then failing my attempt. Yikes.

 

[LastLoveLetter]

I will leave a note for my boyfriend, because I think he deserves some closure and to be told very explicitly that it's not his fault, that there's nothing more he could have done, that he deserves to find someone far more worthy of the love he has to give. I at least owe him that. I plan to leave whatever cash I can with the note as well.

I'd also like to leave an apology note for emergency services and whoever finds me or has to deal with my body. I know some people are used to it and see dead bodies for a living, but I still feel the need to apologise for being another dead body to add to the list.

I'll cover my face too when I do it, and make sure I have a visible note or sign to warn whoever finds me that I'm dead, and to call emergency services immediately rather than attempt to resuscitate and have to see me. I really want to minimise any harm to others as much as I can.

I witnessed a loved one die and still to this day have intrusive flash backs of their lifeless body, and I wish I could take my life without giving anyone else those same kinds of memories to carry. I hope I can make my passing look peaceful and calm.

I've written one to my mom and brother about my wish for them to keep our cat because I'm not sure if they would. He is kind of more mine. I also wrote one about my reasons and who's partially to blame, and another note to pro-lifers.

You're the one that Facebook woman is gunning for. She's not making you suicidal is she?

 

[voyager]

Think I'll leave one on the day. Sincere, but brief, since I've already explained my situation as good as I can while alive. Can't do more than that. Depending on the circumstances/location, a warning to whomever finds me and probably one for the authorities so they don't needlessly hassle anyone, in particular my mum.

 

[Deathbydemo]

Yes, I have written notes but I'm not sure I'm overly happy with what they say. It's hard to accurately explain how I feel and why I want to go, and I don't think they will understand anyway.

 

[Carrotcake]

I wrote one last year when I was in crisis, it's still on my laptop. I might reuse it when the time comes, I'll sign it with "current day carrot cake approves of this message"

 

[SoVeryDone]

Many in the past. Some I have saved. Want to go digital now.

 

[Fehler]

I wrote one at the time but backed out. I tried again but more of the same, and each time with a note that continued with the previous one. The last note is written, and I do not think I will add more, it is the last of the other three. Even having spent a good time to write them and with many changes, I still do not feel comfortable with them.

 

[Pen>Sword]

Yeah, it's 5 pages long, single spaced. I'll probably add more. I saved it on Standard Notes app since it's encrypted, I can edit it offline. It's quite an emotional letter.

 

[WornOutLife]

Yes, I wrote like 8 of them to my parents, brother, my dog, my students and some ex friends.
They're all about love and what I want them to do with my stuff. No regrets, no hate.

 

[Sprite_Geist]

I have written a dozen notes, and have made well over 10 redactions because I cannot seem to get the language right. Originally I read other suicide notes and have watched suicide-related videos for reference; those people were clear and concise - they got straight to their point. I am not a wordsmith though and cannot seem to put my own message across properly. My final note will probably come out as a garbled 2-3 page rant.

 

[NoSurprises]

I wrotte a note last year in my last attempt (bezondiacpunes, alcohol, morphine, c02 allthogheter nothing worked)

So no more stupid cards for me, I have left clear to anybody than I have getting old and I really livedbmy life and my stuff, so yhe next time I can go to an hotel im gonna hamg miself to the end

 

[verloren]

I will video record it as a note

 

[Polly1]

Only those I need to write to make sure my cat is cared for

 

[SquirrelsInMyPants]

I have written many as a pastime, but they never satisfy me :( I think I'd leave behind all of it, hoping to answer any questions from anyone

 

[nolongerhuman]

Every time I think I'm going to try to ctb I write a set of letters and every time it doesn't end up happening I throw them out again because they're never good enough to keep around for next time. I'm not sure I'll end up writing any in the end. The people who matter will know why I did it. The last person I speak to before I die unfortunately bears the burden of "could I have said or done something to stop them?", so I kind of feel the obligation to at least tell that person "nope, nothing you could have done, I lied to your face about being fine so I wouldn't be stopped, how were you supposed to know?"

 

[Latios]

I feel like this:

would be the perfect suicide note for me. :P

Here's a link in case it doesn't work.

 

[Bedrock48]

I've written several over the past few years, making changes and editing out anything cringy I might find lol. Used to have one written out but the notebook vanished into my flat many months ago and I haven't found it since. Quite general and a lot of the expected stuff, reminding the people I know would read it that they aren't to blame and trying to give a sense of closure. It can be quite therapuetic writing a note, even if you later on burn it or throw it away.

I also have prepared gifts for my closest friends, some money and sentimental items.

 

[Canttakeitanymore]

Literally just "dont save me goodbye"
