Venting My suicide note

I just wrote it last night. Would appreciate any insights/critiques.

I have no critiques. I really like that. You are well-spoken, and I empathize with many of your words.

So well-written, Anna! No one could fail to understand what you've been through and why you are choosing freedom. You're a very courageous lady. I wish you all the best on your journey!

I agree with the above. Very well written! I can relate with "Mental Health Professionals" making life worse.

It's absolutely okay. I wouldn't even have written that much. Blast 'em ! I mean, what's a person supposed to spill ?
You see, people hesitate to condone suicide in others because they usually think that the suicidal person is rather on the nice and pleasant side, the sort we would want to have more of rather than less. This is no coincidence...
What was your personal immortality project, if I may ask ?

 

[AnnaJaspers]

My personal immortality project was nothing. Nada.

I was a d list actress with a d list script. Never should have been.

C'mon... it reminded me of this Laurie Anderson piece.. which one was it (not the one below), where she says, "World without end - remember me..."

Everyone should denounce the absolute horror show that is psychiatry. At worse, you are only educating and protecting your close ones. A few years ago, we randomly cut brain part and electrified the testicles of gay children. It hasnt gotten any better, now we drown the brain in acid as it is less visual and seems more human. The only reason electroshock or even psychiatry as a whole is still practiced, is because of stockholm syndrome, I too like many would be the first to lie as to not receive more seizures.

A beautiful and brief letter, clearfully and rationally written by a rational human being with free will, your psychiatrist won't like.

It's a good note. I suppose none of us have practice with such things as they don't teach this form of writing in college.

"Be kind to one another" I loved the ending.

You mean, suicide note writing? Lol Yeah, I must have skipped that course in college!

I like it on the whole (a tad shorter wouldn't hurt..), and there are some points in there that I can take or adapt to my own situation.

You avoid the easy-to-fall-into trap of self-pity, anger, or drama queen exiting, thank God! Instead you just lay it out and tell it as it is.

Have you considered starting a suicide note writing business? I'll give you £50 if you do mine, lol.

I understand the need to acknowledge and praise Exit International....but maybe not a good idea. It will certainly bring attention to the organization, you might make the news, but higher unlikely. The media is incredibly reluctant to glorify any aspect of suicide, if your not a celebrity or someone important, you won't make the news beyond your city. The only people who are going to be looking for someone/something to blame, will be your loved ones and they are likely to make Exit's existence hell, and that is counterproductive.
When I leave, I'm not giving anyone a reason to look for anyone to blame... I don't need that legacy.

Good point! I didn't think of that!

I will delete that bit. Thanks for your input/advice!
