Suicide Note

[IWDS]

Guys, do you have any pointers for leaving a note? I want to write something for my mom whom I deeply love. I know she'd be devastated but I wish to do some damage control if possible

When I leave my note, I will include a few words to address individually the people who will be most affected and the people who have the greatest influence in my life. I will let them know that nobody else was to blame, that they did nothing wrong and that this was something that was coming for some time.

Just go from the heart. Don't ask questions. just leave a statement as to why. You don't want the recipient to have any questions at the end of your note. Be raw and visceral. If you care bout them let them know. Convince them that you made the right choice.

I'm going to leave a note for my mum along the same lines. I want her to know there's nothing she could have done. I love my mum she's done too much with too little in life. I don't want to do this to her but I don't want to live anymore.

 

[Last chance]

Like others have said I think the most important thing is let people know that there was nothing they could have done and they are not to blame.

That's what I'll make sure for my mum. I'd hate for her to have worse feelings than the ones she'll have.

I will also write a letter but I don't know for whom yet.
I'll write why I did it and that I'm sorry

you are too weak to live in safety. you are a fragile being and human brutality is too great so you cannot live in safety.
you want to be saved from feeling suicidal but the competency to care about what is so important to you does not exist yet.

In my note, I am telling my parents that I love them, that this is not their fault, and specifying that they did everything right & there was nothing they could have done to prevent this.

I know for a fact that my 81-yo mother will be devastated by my death, and that is tearing me apart. On the other hand, she has witnessed the toll that depression and anxiety have taken on me and I hope that she will understand why I can't go like this anymore. I don't know that I have any good advice for you OP, as I am struggling immensely with this myself. However, what I will do and what I strongly encourage you to do is convey to her why you're deciding to take this drastic step so that she can at least try to understand why you feel that you have no other choice. Also, even if you are not at peace with your decision, do your best to convince her that you are, so that she may at least have some comfort in knowing that you are in a better place.
