Help Leaving a note

[livinginthedreams]

Sorry if this question has already been asked too many times, but i really wanted to ask some more questions to it., to whoever is reading thanks. Do you think we as people who choose to ctb are morally obligated to leave a note? Is it selfish to not leave a note? And if yes, do we even need to care about being selfish because we'll be dead anyway and nothing will matter to us anymore? In the past I have always written notes, even if i decided to not attempt later on i still kept that note i had written. The one thing i want people to know when im gone, i wont answer anything anymore after that. Just for closure. What are your guys's experience with leaving behind notes? Sorry if this is repetitive and thanks for reading to anyone. Also, do you think I should leave a note?

Personally, I think it's polite to leave a note to loved ones explaining why you CTB. It doesn't need to be long, just an explanation and a reminder to them not to blame themselves.

Over the years, I've written a lot of drafts of notes, and I've come to the conclusion that nothing could adequately explain things to anyone in my life. It kind of feels gratuitous honestly - like at the end of the day I'd be dead so it wouldn't matter.

I sorta relate to that. The nothing could explain things to anyone part. I guess there are no words to explain these feelings, especially when I dont understand myself how could I explain to someone else why I did what I did. Thanks for the answer btw. Did you keep all those notes?

Nobody is obligated to do se.

However if u have peopple u care about, I would leave them a not explaining why u did it and that its not their fault.

My best friend ctb'd without leaving a note and I still blame myself everyday that I didn't do more.
That i wasn't there for him enough to prevent this from happening.

I wish he had told me why.

No, they're long gone. I'm kind of curious about what my notes looked like from ten years ago, but I guess I'll never know. I guess I treated it kind of like a really dark journaling prompt, but since I decided there's not much point in leaving a note I haven't written any lately.

I have this exactly. I'm going to leave a note for my family and I'll try to send some of the people around me something as well, even though they don't really care for me.

Nobody has to leave a note, it's a personal choice whether to or not, nobody is owed an explanation and suicide is a very valid personal decision anyway, it doesn't need to be justified.

If I ctb'd I'd want to leave a note or a video so people could learn from my situation, and maybe help prevent people from being suicidal in the future. So i think leaving a note is a considerate thing to do though I understand why some people would feel uncomfortable.
