I'm not quite there yet in my journey but this is something I think about a lot.
I've done/collected nothing illegal, the most suspect thing I've really ever done online has just been hanging out here, but, y'know, privacy.
I know I won't feel shame or embarrassment anymore once I'm dead, but I fear literally anything they know about what I do online will be blamed for my suicide, even if some of the places I hung out on were objectively helping to keep me alive.
No doubt whatever little they inevitably will find- maybe leftovers from their own personal computers from when we still all lived as a family unit- will be blown out of proportion as if it were illegal. I'm already almost certain my hyperfixation on Death Note is going to be blamed for this- no need to add anything else to the fire.
I'm lucky in that every personal device I own is beginning to fall apart, if it even works reliably at all, my password system is a hot mess only I understand, & I have had more personas that I've cycled through online than years I've been alive.
I don't know how it happened, maybe I dropped it, but I have to do a complicated series of unintuitive bullshit things to even get this laptop to turn on. It requires a lot of patience. When it's not turning on correctly, it often doesn't even seem like a functioning laptop to begin with. I like that it "plays dead" for me.
I'm willing to part with my life & thus willing to part with my digital life, & have noone in my life online or off who would give a shit about any of this. My family does not care. I have no close friends. It might as well all come with me.
The daunting part will be deleting/wiping everything from my personal devices & destroying them- with confidence that this 110% will be the end of my life. I have to be certain that I'm going to be successful, or, that, if I'm not successful, that I have the balls to try & kill myself again the next time the opportunity arises, 'cause I'm intentionally going to be destroying such a huge chunk of my cherished memories & vital passwords that I won't be able to look back on/retrieve & if I stay alive I'm going to have to live with the fact I destroyed all of that during a suicide attempt.
Eugh....
