Suicide letter

[SadGirl]

What would you write in the suicide letter, and to which people? Doctors, family, friends, etc?

i have written them so many times and then ripped them up , so i have decided to write just a nonchalant letter with all my account numbers ,utilities etc as i know what a pain it is closing and paying things off having had to sort my brothers out recently after his sudden death , and to not sell my house for less than a certain amount as i know what it is worth lol , also not to sell my 25 year old car for what they say it is worth as it is a rare 1 of 33 and only 5 left lol

Someone on Reddit linked me to this a while ago: https://archive.ashspace.org/ashbusstop.org/Note.html

Might be helpful, I struggle with this a lot too.

"I shall no longer feel the agonies which now consume me or be the prey of feelings unsatisfied, yet unquenched. (...) Light, feeling, and sense will pass away ; and in this condition must I find my happiness. Some years ago, when the images which this world affords first opened upon me, when I felt the cheering warmth of summer and heard the rustling of the leaves and the warbling of the birds, and these were all to me, I should have wept to die ; now it is my only consolation." Mary Shelley

I will only write "FORGIVE ME" in a piece of paper. Just as simple as that.

I'd say I finally was becoming the person I wanted to be but it was an ilusión. I self sabotaged by moving. I'd still be alive if I had just stayed where I was. No ones fault. I'm just too dumb, selfish, and pathetic to live.

A work colleague I knew wrote a suicide note and placed it on the boss' desk with his mobile before he hanged himself in my workplace. I didn't take it personally when he complained how me and the other workers weren't paying him much attention. The strange thing about it all was that he knew about a letter I'd given to the boss demanding a holiday. His suicide note was in a strange way his resignation letter to the boss and the world.

Since they will never, ever, understand even though everyone around me is expecting it, it's only a matter of time and they know why, there's not point In leaving a note. I do plan on leaving for the police confirming it was a suicide, that a personal supply of N is the cause and there is no more left to find.

Hmmm.... you kind of gave me an idea. I wouldn't mind sending something to the workplace as a giant fuck you. Maybe a delayed email.

I've thought about giving the coroner a hard time by leaving him a Japanese death poem without the English translation. The practice of writing a death poem has its origins in Zen Buddhism. It is a concept or worldview derived from the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence (三法印, sanbōin), specifically that the material world is transient and impermanent (無常, mujō), that attachment to it causes suffering (苦, ku), and ultimately all reality is an emptiness or absence of self-nature (空, kū). These poems became associated with the literate, spiritual, and ruling segments of society, as they were customarily composed by a poet, warrior, nobleman, or Buddhist monk.

In 1970, writer Yukio Mishima and his disciple Masakatsu Morita composed death poems before their attempted coup at the Ichigaya garrison in Tokyo, where they committed the ritual suicide of seppuku.

A small night storm blows
Saying 'falling is the essence of a flower'
Preceding those who hesitate

Closest friends who don't already know. They are owned an explanation, because i don't wnat anyone to live with the guilt of "is there something i could've done differently in our final interactions to change this outcome". I've had to bear that burden before and it is a heavy cross to bear.

The news will percolate from there to my associates and acquaintances. I don't care as much about their feelings. Immediate family has learned first hand what my plans are anyways. The closest friends i've revealed my plans to, we will have had a chance to have our final moments together. I hope that leaves a good enough impression on them.

I would probably write a letter for each important person in my life, leave a tiny suicide message in all my stories of all my insta accounts. I'd personalise each message for each person, give my girlfriend my passwords to all my accounts so she can tell anyone that I died (for anyone who didn't see my story). I'd even write a long message to each of my internet friends. I'd explain everything to my parents so they wouldn't have any questions unanswered. I'd just make it as easy as possible for everyone.

I've written letters to my mother, boyfriend, and friends. I wrote one page for everyone explaining my reason for ctb along with individual letters for them. Because if it was me, I'd like to know why. How did my daughter / my lover / my friend get to that point. I know it's going to hurt and I will be leaving a box of darkness they'll carry for the rest of their lives, but I hope my letters provide them with comfort, understanding, and closure eventually. It's the least I can do... Even if I am leaving them, it doesn't mean I can't leave with love.
