Note?

[Rocky M]

Should I write a suicide note? I've created a few drafts in the past (which I've disposed of in case anyone finds out before the right time), but I can't seem to find the right words to say. Is it better if I scrap the whole idea of a note and just go without an explanation or goodbye?

For me personally, I would feel really bad without explaining why.
In my case, when the time comes, I will write a long detailed note saying why I felt the way I did and why I killed myself.

For me, I want to write a note filled with hatred and anxiety, explaining how fucking much I ever hated them and how this despicable pieces of shit caused my death. The idea is marking or traumatizing that people forever.

Imagine you have a son that you love him so much, then he is dead hanging in his bedroom, you read the note and you discover he hated you for all his life. Sounds good right?

In that case, I would rather say nothing than leaving a note.

A friend here convinced me to leave a note sorta, I'm still on the fence to be honest as I don't know what to possibly write and all my drafts end up not sounding right if that makes sense

I won't leave in peace if I don't do it.

Childhood trauma, emotional abuse, spiting poison, childish pride, physical aggresions...

Girl, I have no choice. It's matter of justice.

I'm definitely not here to judge you. It's your choice.
I wouldn't do it.

I know this feeling, I've written almost 2000 words and still feel like I haven't scratched the surface. When you get to this point your thoughts and feelings can be so unbelievably complicated, if people can't understand our feelings when we're alive then why would they in death? I'm going to simply post what I've written and then end it with something like explaining how I've tried my best to put my feelings into words but also it should be taken with a pinch of salt because there's no way I could possibly articulate everything I want to.

How could I possibly write about everything I ever dreamed and how it now haunts me because I can't reach it, I can't delve into every tiny little thought and feeling I've had, but if I don't it feels like I'm being untrue. However I don't think it'd be better to say nothing. In my note I've just done my best to assure my family that there's nothing they could have done, my fate was sealed way back in like 2008 or something, or maybe even when I was born since I've been ill my whole life anyway.

Good luck whatever you decide.

I plan on leaving a note as I have read studies that leaving a note (so long as it's kind and not filled with recriminations or blame) does help those we leave behind.

Mine will contain the following: a matter of fact statement that I killed my self; a brief explanation of why; instructions on what I want for the disposal of my ashes; clear instructions that I want no obituary or any kind of memorial service, religious or otherwise; and lastly I will probably apologize although I am debating this.

Max one page. I will also be including print outs of other articles to include with the note as sort of a suicide package.

I'm seconding Smilla, more or less

If I had to write a suicide note I would make it long, to explain all my reasons for it. Most people wouldn't get it anyways but if at least 1 did, it would be worth it.

Also, you might want to leave informations such as passwords to someone, so remember to do that too.

If you want to.

I've created a few drafts in the past (which I've disposed of in case anyone finds out before the right time), but I can't seem to find the right words to say.

Something is better than nothing.

For you, it doesn't matter. You won't exist. For whoever you leave behind, chances are a note is better than no note.

It's up to you. I'm conflicted. My family would know why I did it. But they'll also need to know my works contact info so they can let them know I won't be coming in again.
