  • Hey Guest,

    Today, OFCOM launched an official investigation into Sanctioned Suicide under the UK’s Online Safety Act. This has already made headlines across the UK.

Do you want to be forgotten or do you want to leave something on this earth? Do you want to be remembered when you are gone?
I am ambivalent about it. Often I am that ashamed about my existence that I absolutely want to be forgotten. But when I think about these embarassing moments which I think of and I meet for eample one person who exeperienced one of them I recognize they already forgot about them...I am not as important as my paraoid brain thinks of.

I normally don't want to leave a suicide note. But I can remember I once wrote one. I wanted to comfort the people that I leave behind. (Reading my forum texts complaining about them won't make it better. If I do it I will probably cut the traces to this forum. However my friends know the name of it, But the bigger problem is my family. Though they don't know the name. I can remember I kind of planned my funeral. I want to have a cheap one. I think another big reason for writing this note was the notion that many family members that I absolutely despise will come to it. Not so much close relatives but the other one's would probably say stuff like how selfish I was to do such a thing to my parents. (Even though I was the one who was abued by them.)

I kind of hope my friends will remember me. But not my whiny, bitter and pathetic parts which increased due to my condition. I don't know I want to leave them kind of smiling about one or two good jokes I made. On the other side if they can better cope with my loss when they forget me I would also be happy about that solution.

I hope I won't traumatize anyone. I want to lessen the impact of my death on close ones. I have read when someone experiences a loss of a close person it helps when the person is very busy in order to disctract them from the loss. I have read that planning a funeral can be really stressful. But in that moment this stress is better than much free-time to ruminate about the loss. This is one reason why I did not make more specific plannings about my funeral. I am currently not in the position that I have to kill myself soon but this could change anytime. I am very unstable and fragile.

Do you want to leave soemthing behind. Many people want to have children who will remember them. Personally I absolutely don't want that. My genes horrible and I really hope my sister won't procreate. But I know she wants to...

I want to be completely forgotten, I want nobody to remember me, I want it to be like I never existed in the first place. If I could completely erase my existence I would. The way I see it though, it does not matter to me how others react after my death as I will be gone by that point.

I will leave a note behind because I don't want anyone to think they could have prevented it or that they should have seen any signs or that they would somehow blame themselves. I also want them to know that I loved them, even if they didn't know me.

I'm conflicted on the notion of being forgotten. I would rather not have had this life, but I also want to clarify that I existed, that I was here. By leaving that thought behind in a note I feel like it might finally give some infinitesimally small amount of sense to everything that preceded my suicide. That all of this was not entirely for nothing.

A few words scattered here and there, and a faint memory of a somewhat unusual woman they once knew in the minds of some people. For a little while.

That is all.

tbh i wish i could just phase out of existence & people could just forget I was ever there. wouldn't feel guilty about the pain i would cause for my family then. i do wish i'd had the energy to actually write a book one of these days. i wouldn't want people to remember me personally, but leaving behind something like that would be nice.

I don't know if I truly exist. I know I am alive but I feel like I'm dead. If someone slightly intimidating came to me and told me many times that I don't exist I might believe them!!

BTW noname, you are very skilled and creative! you should consider being a writer.

i wish I could just vanish from existence like I was never born, but I can't. And honestly I hope that people do miss me, I hope I made an impact on my friends lives, and I wish people who were cruel to me reflect and feel some guilt over it and perhaps change. But I feel like that is asking for a lot.

As far as like a funeral though I wouldn't want one, I'd just want to be cremated and then the ashes to just be thrown away and I'd end up in some landfill, where I belong. Just poof me out of existence

ideally nothing would remain at all, that why literally blowing myself to smothereens is so desirable and the thought of it so comforting. seems like the best way to express one's deep self loathing and obliterate it (and me) at the same time.

unfortunately, pain would be left behind. I care about my moms pain, my therapists pain and my best friends pain. sometimes I don't care though. and it wouldn't be as great as mine. I can't say that about my mom for sure, but at the same time she would hate to know that my suffering is this deep. maybe when she dies I'll "beat si"

We'll all be forgotten eventually. I'm conflicted. I'm torn between erasing my tracks because nobody ever wanted to know me or asked about anything about me in life, why should I grant them access in death?? But then I want people to know me on a deeper or surface level from what I leave behind and not from their own perceptions and misconceptions. If there's nothing left of your identity, they'll go around creating you. I'm torn. I think I'm going to put things on a 2tb external harddrive.. or just leave my phones as they were. I was going to destroy everything, but it's the last chance I'll ever have to speak.

Nothing. I don't even want to leave a note, to be perfectly honest, much less a funeral after my death.

At the end of the day, people get on with their lives So as much as I'd like to be remembered, it makes no difference
