How to stop caring about how your family will take your suicide

[Prime]

Leaving a note is always better. otherwise they will think that it was impuslive and will blame themselves for it. Leave a note. Articulating your suffering in it. Telling them it was the best you could do to yourself might ease their pain
but as i said, it is a problem and will always be.

And also, you shouldn't feel the need to "justify" your death to people who can't justify to you why you must live. All they give us is false hope, empty words nothin more. So if they can not properly justify why I must live then why should I be obliged totell them why I must die. They always want a "reasonable reason". Its hilarious, if I don't have a "reasonable reason" to live why must I give you a "reasonable reason" for my demise.

I hope my words help you.

Just to not feel bad about taking your own life, try to seek help first. If it works then it would great and if doesn't you can just go ahead with your plan knowing that you tried already.

Good advice.

this is definitely something that I'm wrestling with. I am particularly concerned about my 10 year old daughter. I've been counseled on the very serious psychological harm children of a suicidal parent suffer. I love my daughter more than anything in the world so I very much want to protect her. I've only recently come to seriously contemplate taking my life, so things are still quite vague for me But here's where my thoughts are now: No matter how I die, my daughter will suffer grief over the loss of her father, who, despite my many faults and failings still seems to love me. It occurs to me, though, that there might be less for her to deal with if it appears that I died from an accident. I'm thinking about finding a way to die during a scuba dive. She knows that I enjoy diving so I'm thinking that perhaps my death during a dive might be somewhat less traumatic for her than were she to know I intentionally left her. She will still have to grieve my death, but won't have the extra baggage of dealing with my suicide. The real downside of this is that I can't write her a note in which I tell her about how much i loved her, how much joy she brought me and how sorry I am that the pain I suffer proved more than I could handle. These are the challenges before me. I hope you find a solution.
