I've written one of my notes...

[Walilamdzii]

"When news of this reaches you, I hope that you will finally somewhat comprehend the impact of your words and actions. There were a multitude of factors that influenced this decision, but prior to your hurtful behaviour, (though this was long ago), I had been recovering and shortly after that, the daily intrusive thoughts and flashbacks started and then never stopped. So I'm stopping them. My parting message is merely that I ask that you be more careful. At the time of writing, I am still several years younger than you were when we first met… at that point, you'd already lived a life. I will never experience what mine could have been. I wouldn't wish the traumatic experiences I've had over the past decade on my worst enemy, but none of that was as upsetting to me as losing your 'friendship' and the flippant way you mocked my first breakdown. I'd rather you don't alert anyone of this but even if you do, it will already be too late, I've ensured that. Goodnight…"

I'm just debating whether there's even any point leaving this, but I do want them to know that they influenced this decision. I might just not bother because I will have to figure out how to send it with a delay. Don't know.

Is there anything that you think should be included in other notes, for people I'm sad to leave?

Maybe just reassure them that they had nothing whatsoever to do with your decision. Make sure they understand that it was your decision and there was really nothing they could have done about it. Maybe tell them you'll miss them and you are thankful that they were your friend, family member, whatever, but you just need and deserve to reach that elusive peace you've been seeking.

I think that after all it's a personal decision deciding what to write in a note, it's up to the individual but I would personally see it as best to leave some kind of explanation so that those left behind are less likely to be left with as many unanswered questions but nobody is owed an explanation. But anyway I wish you the best with your plans.
