How should you write a note?

[fowlbandit]

I dont own much so there is no point writing a sort of will, so is there a point writing a note at all, and if so what should I put in it?

I don't really see any point in writing note as well. So my suggestion might be a bit off. But, I suppose you still can bring an explanation on the reason you decided to ctb. Your family and friend would get a better understanding of your action. Hopefully it will help them in their grief as they will know you are in a better place and don't suffer anymore.

Depends, do you have people in your life who you think care about you? Obviously not an easy question to answer, especially given you're posting on this forum. But my view is that despite how I'm feeling, I will dedicate as much effort as I possibily can to alleviate the suffering of those around me after my suicide by providing (as best I can) my reasons for doing so. If you google those who've had close ones commit suicide, one of the most common things they struggle to deal with is "why" that person chose to do it, and they generally have the view that they acted irrationally. I'd want my note to at least try and clear things up, set the record straight, and reduce any speculation about me after my death.

I'm not sure yet I will leave a note behind. Probably yes, but a very short one, mainly to explain nobody is to be blamed over my death. It's a decision I made alone, after discussions between myself and myself. Unanimously.

Just a short note saying why you're CTB'ing

I think that it's a personal decision deciding whether to write a note or not and that decision can only be made by the individual. But I guess that the point of a note could be to act as a form of closure for those left behind and not mean that they are left with as many unanswered questions. I would choose to say things like "ctb is what I wanted", and "nothing could had made me feel differently".

A note will most likely be what people remember you by, but if you are going to ctb then I guess it doesn't affect you. If you fail then the note will be used against you as proof that you planned to ctb. However if you choose to write one anyway then I would suggest not blaming anyone or making it bitter.

if you want to provide an explanation or give closure to anyone, then i think it's a good idea to write a note.

of course it comes down to the person and what they want to say. i would probably leave a message. i don't want anyone to think they could of changed the outcome or "saved me" when there is nothing anyone could have done.

if someone i loved killed themselves, i would want to read a note. not knowing why is really really hard on people and it makes grief harder to process. (unless that's your aim)
