How to write a suicide note?

[Sr Red]

Where do you find the strength to write a suicide note? I'm finding it very difficult; I feel like I can't even begin. Any advice?

Write what's on your mind… maybe briefly touch on the obstacles you faced in life… and what brought you to the point of CTB… perhaps what to do with any of your possessions…

Try not to turn it into a rambling essay the length of a college term paper. I've kept mine concise so it's not written off as a babbling whiner with mental health issues.

Who says you even have to write it? If it's too much stress, or it's unclear what you want to say, then skip it

This is a tough one because I'm struggling to write my own. My aim was to write to the people I love, explaining what has led to me taking my own life and how much I love them and how sorry I am if my passing has hurt them. I'm also going to write about the people in my life who hurt me and how pain and abuse have caused me to take my life. Depending on where you live in the world, there's a chance the police will read and hold onto any letters while investigating your death.
