Will you destory any journals / dairies you have before you ctb?

I'm currently debating this in my head. I have a few that span back at least 5 years

I'll be erasing my phone and hard drives. There's too much data there that points to SaSu and I don't want the police finding out

Oh my internet history and electronics will absolutely be wiped. I refuse to out this website.
I meant like physical journals / diaries that have been written by hand
EDIT TO ADD: I've never mentioned SaSu in any of my physical writtings. I've never even hinted at it

Wipe all electronic devices but leave my diaries, doubt if anyone will read them.

My diary is written on Google Docs. I made a duplicate with the most personal info redacted (mostly medical stuff tbh) and then I shared that document to a separate Google account, which I will give them the password for. So they will only have access to the redacted document.

I cant bring myself to destroy them - have journals that span for two years - so im going to leave them behind though i deleted all my digital journals

I completely relate to this but I'm scared of my past words hurting people in the future

I think that's very thoughtful.

I have a lot of old journals that I've held onto. My feeling is that if someone wants to take the time to read through them, so let them. I doubt many in my life would do so.

I know we all have different situations though...

If you're very concerned about it, perhaps you could redact parts. Depending on your situation, reflecting on them may be helpful.

I wrote in my note they should cremate my stuff with me, for me if somebody chooses to read my journals thats on them

What do you mean by "your past words hurting people in the future"

I never wrote a journal in my life. I guess this account will be my "journal", I won't destroy my pc, I got nothing that I'm ashamed of.

I will leave them. I have been telling most people in my life for years now that I've been in recovery and doing really well. It's all been a front. I've been doing worse than ever before. I don't want people to think this was impulsive and sudden. It was well thought out and planned. It's been a long time coming and I've been suffering immensely. No one is required to read them, but I want them to be there if anyone becomes curious and wants to know what happened. I don't think I'll be leaving a note, so my journal is essentially my note. To some it may hurt more to see the pain I am in, but I hope at least a few people will realize that I am out of my misery and at peace.

Oh yes. I've already started cutting up mine, although my ctb day is still pretty far away. I hate journaling and rarely do it, so I've had the same journal for over ten years. I am very future oriented person and dislike everything to do with the past, especially my past. I just find it boring and I am not the person I used to be even a week ago. So it holds no value to me (now or when I'm gone obviously). There is absolutely nothing in those journal entries that I want people to know. If they didn't understand me while I was alive, trust me they will not suddenly start understanding me when I am gone. A short note on the subject of the right to die is all they will get from me lol.

I have about 3 diaries physically as books and a virtual one on drive. I'm sure that the physical ones won't be able to be seen but anyone except physical people but the online one can easily be accessed by people with the right tools so I'm unsure.

I would probably gift my diaries, hand then over or secretly pass them to one person I loved, one of the few people I didn't hate as a last token of appreciation. Although what I wrote is mostly stupid.

I think my trial in this site will also sort of contribute as a virtual log of my mental health too. I want to keep it.
