I'm posting my suicide note again in pdf format. Appreciate critique.

My main issue is that I don't want it to sound angsty or whiny so feedback about "tone" is appreciated.

Also, I don't apologize. Should I?

I like it, it's well written and doesn't sound angry nor whining. You do apologize, actually (to your family and your friend) and then at the end ask for forgiveness. I wouldn't apologize nor ask for forgiveness myself, but I'm not even going to leave a note, so that's just me.

I would write a similar more. Although the way I've done it is to write one to my friend whom I care greatly for, one for my mother, and one for my grandmother. These people are the ones closest to me and I want them to know that nothing is their fault and my passing is mercy for me and should be celebrated.

I personally don't think you should apologize, even though you kind of do. Apologizing implies that you have done something wrong, which you haven't. Your passing was something of beauty. It's not ugly. Also you shouldn't ask for forgiveness, there's nothing wrong with ending something so horrible that it's unbearable. So you have done nothing wrong. Just let everyone know that you love them, that they did right by you, that they should love you no matter how hard it might be.

You are helping yourself, not killing yourself...

Well composed. The tone is clinical and detached, not whiny. But I would need to know the note's purpose and what you hope to achieve. Is it for you or them?

It's for them, to try to communicate how utterly sad and miserable I was for a very long time and thus didn't enter into this without extensive contemplation.
