So I’ve spent the past couple of days finishing my byebye notes, (I don’t like the word suicide) but anyways, I know I won’t be ready for a little bit, you know? Do you guys thinks its bad for me to do that? I know bads not a good word for it, but I’m not sure how else to say it.

Tough question I’ve wondered too. It can be sorta therapeutic writing your last words even if it’s not time.. but I worry that it might be normalizing the act? desensitizing you by breaking it down into completed tasks?
Well one way or the other it forces you to really think about what you’re doing and how it affects others. Might even save you from making a mistake. Did it change your outlook any?
well, it made me accept it more. like, I know it’ll hurt them but writing everything made me think that maybe, they’ll be ok and will understand.
Mind if I ask what your main message was? you don’t have to get specific, but did you write about the causes (bad stuff)? Or did you write more about good memories and what you appreciated?
I guess it was more of a sorry for everything (even though I never did anything wrong), for my friends I have stuff I never told them and how much I appreciated them even though they don’t really know what all is going on, but the general message I guess is I’m sorry. I hope this answers your question
Yes that answers it. A friend of mine byebyed herself and left a note that had a similar vibe, mostly apologizing even though she didn’t do anything. Her real reason wasn’t in there. Maybe the purpose of notes is for the person to make peace with themself, with others, smooth things over as best as possible. If that’s the case then it makes sense to avoid mentioning the bad stuff. What’s the point, it’ll disappear soon enough.
