I thought about writing my suicide note awhile ago, but I’m not sure what to put in it. Do I mention names of the people who caused this? Do I tell my story of why I did it? Or should I even leave a note at all, and let the people find out for themselves. I don’t know if it matters if I leave a note or if I don’t leave one because people would just think of me as that suicidal lunatic, most people think that of me right now anyways. I cannot wait to die, I hate this world, and almost all of the people in it, including myself.
share your suicide story

i personally think that it depends on if you want people to know. or if you want to keep them guessing. let them wonder. if you want to give the people you care about and who care about you closure, they might want to know why you did it. but at the same time, it might be bad. because they could in turn feel guilty saying, i could have stopped this.
i’ve written plenty of suicide notes. it’s let me get my feelings out.
Thanks for the advice
Personally I would leave a note that doesn’t blame any one specifically. I don’t need to leave a guilt trip on top of all the other crap they are dealing with (my funeral, their grief, etc). They will want to know why you did this. My note would contain something like: “I’m sorry to do this to you, I’ve wrapped up things as much as I can with what energy I have left. I hope you understand that I just have been in misery for so long and every day is a struggle. Don’t be sad, we’ll meet again, I’m sure of it.”
I hope this helps. I also hope you will stay with us.
But if I don’t point out who was part of it, they will never know
I guess it depends on the reason you want to kill yourself. And I guess what I’m saying is there are multiple ways to go about explaining why…
1. Laurie slept with my best friend and I can’t stand to live anymore.
2. When my girlfriend and I broke up, I couldn’t stand to live anymore.
The first one is harsh and does no good really, if you think about it.
The second is telling them why you did this but it’s not as spiteful. If that makes sense….
All I’m saying is that it’s sorta mean to say “you caused me to commit suicide”. That kind of guilt is pretty fucking serious. Would you wish that on your worst enemy? I wouldn’t. Also there are people that would be devestated by your death – me, I would want to comfort them a little with my words. I dunno.
Would it make.it any better to say they were part or most of the reason why? Then mabye go on to say what other reasons why?
@Tzaz I disagree I would go with the 1st one. I also would try to comfort those I felt hurt me too. I guess my note would show love and ask forgiveness from love ones and show anger and guilt for those I’ve felt hurt me.
Maybe just write your reasons. Your feelings. It will be in their memories for quite a while.
