Discussion Are you going to leave a suicide note? If so, what do you want to write? Do you want to share it?

[seaquake]

I'm going to leave a long 13-page letter written virtually, and I don't intend to share it here. But what about you?

 

[marcel-the-mime]

Probably my thoughts and feelings for some people and for that special one that means the world to me. Probably a letter for each person

 

[dingokettle3531]

Only made a note for my best friend and I will keep it that way. It's nothing particularly special, it's just me encouraging him in life

 

[Jdieiejdjaow]

I'll probably request to be buried in the country where I'll transition, if possible. And, without a coffin and/or treatments. Somewhere in the ground where I can give back to the earth.

 

[pyranha]

i'm not leaving a note, no. i'll leave a little message in a harder to see area so that my online friends know what happened, since they can't physically check what i'm up to. but aside from a small note, something vague like "if you're reading this i am not here anymore", im not leaving anything. the people who treated me kindly will know that it wasn't their fault, and the people who treated me with cruelty, i don't particularly care about either way.

 

[Halfhourdays]

I have nobody to leave a note for. But instead of a suicide note, if I were going to leave one, I'd leave a reading list.

Like, here, read some Kafka. He said it better than any note ever could.

 

[NonEssential]

I won't be leaving a note as I can't write anything that would be satisfactory.

 

[FuneralCry]

I'd write about how existence is the problem to me and how I never should have suffered in this existence at all, I'd write about how I'd always prefer to not exist than be burdened with this futile torturous existence suffering all for the sake of it and how I just want peace from all the suffering of existing, non-existence is all that's positive for me, I'll always find it so deeply undesirable to exist.

 

[JesiBel]

Yes, I'm going to leave a note. I think it's important not only for family or those close to you, but also for legal reasons. Since all unnatural deaths are investigated.

It's good to explain the reason, for example, mentioning that the decision to leave this world was only mine and it's not anyone else's fault. That nobody motivated or convinced me to do it.

It's also a good idea to leave some information, such as whether you want to be cremated or have a funeral / what you want to do with your personal belongings / you've left money or something for someone.

 

[spypilot896]

yeah I'll write a note , I'll clarify that I want no funeral , just cremate me and throw me in the fucking garbage

 

[hereornot]

I would ask the same if it were possible to cremate someone who has CTB in my country.

 

[TornReality]

I'm skeptical about notes.
If my existence ends, then I feel the world around me ends. So who would be there to read the note?
This is just my personal belief. I could be wrong. I don't know.

 

[-nobodyknows-]

Thinking about it. Not sure if it's really the best thing to do though. I worry that it will only make things more painful

Solipsism?

 

[blackIronPrison]

The one I've drafted is very basic. Just what I want done with my remains and stuff like that. I included bits about not wanting a big funeral or eulogy or anything and not wanting people to post pictures of me after I'm gone (I'm real real particular about my face being online) but nothing much more.

There's really nothing I could say to anyone that would make it easier or give them closure so I don't see why I would even bother.

Already written, about 5 pages
