Make it terrible on purpose to force pain upon your family as they try to pretend it's not.

that post should do, have at it, op!

Mom, Dad,
I'm sorry for being a faggot.

Admit that you raped a little girl or something so that people won't miss you.

>>20786063
write something longer than this

dont write one. Its more mysterious

>>20786083
why not accuse someone you don't like of raping you instead?

list every complain you ever had about everyone, the pettiest the best

this is good too >>20786067

Don’t do it anon. It gets better.

>>20786063
bon voyage!

Posting arm to show proof that I’m serious.

>>20786063
Just bee yourself

I feel like the suicide note is the true test of the writer. If your suicide note isn't good then you'll be exposed as the hack fraud you always were.

>>20786149
Please don't.

>>20786149
Why so pimply?

>>20786149
Why does your hand look like the end of a wooden club

just for reference, here is anon's first draft from the writing thread

>Even my suicide "letter" is so dry.

>I have a suicide fetish, Disco Elysium solidified this morbid taste for willingly going into the eternal void. It's not a fetish in which the aftermath matters, there is no meaningful aftermath, no memory nor thought. Instead, a rejection of self preservation along with the awareness of the reality of the situation. A feeling like no other.
>In the past, my suicide attempts have lacked passion and true commitment to the idea. No doubt, a product of my mental illness. So prone to attention seeking behavior and victimization.

>The methods I used were all ones in which the cards want you to survive, poisoning, cutting. More of an inspirational reminder than any serious voyage.

>This time will be different. Death is the one thought that hides beneath all others, conditions like mine simply do away with the bushes. Before NYE, I will attempt suicide, a final attempt. No doubt I'll succeed. No shortage of ways to go about this.
>A gun. Corrosive and dangerous acid. Electricity. Fire.
>No shortage of cues.

>>20786089
a bold but good move. “Who would lie in a suicide note?”
>>20786149
Excoriation disorder?

>>20786149
You look like you have the resources to fix your life, whatever the issue is. Its not like you're some third-worlder starving to death. You can salvage this OP. I've been there, done that, you just wish you didn't commit suicide once you're past the point of no return. Hug your parents and tell them you love them, even if their brains are swiss cheese. They sacrificed a lot so that they didn't have to bury their dead child.

>>20786183
Trash. Stopped reading once it mentioned Disco Elysium. A pop culture reference in your fucking suicide note? And first line is stupid too, so self indulgent. I know that's what suicide is at the end of the day but you can be more tasteful with it.
Whoever wrote this, it's garbage. Do better.

>>20786067
>>20786162
There was this German critic called Michael Hofmann (born in the 1950s, maybe he's still alive) who was notorious for really harsh, scathing reviews. He particularly hated certain writers and his reviews of them were even harsher and more scathing than usual. One of his particular bugbears was Stefan Zweig. Of one of Zweig's published works he said something like this:

"It's mannered... it's fake... You feel his heart's simply not in it."

The work was of course Zweig's suicide note.

>>20786085

It’s weird to see a picture of the underside of a forearm on the internet without old cutting scars.

Everyone in this thread needs to take a step back, go outside and breathe some fresh air.

Thinking about killing yourself? Consider yourself dead and leave behind all the encumbrances which were the source of your pain.

Once you are free you can do anything.

>>20786236
horrible advice if you don't want people to kill themselves
great if you do

>>20786063
I don’t know.

I can never seem to get past, “To whom it may concern,” because I can’t think of anyone who would care. Then I realize that, perhaps, I care, because, in deciding to write a note, I am allotting the time to list my grievances, making an effort to construct proper sentences on paper, and organizing my thoughts tell an ingraining tale.

But then I think, “I care, and I like writing,” and so I don’t kill myself, and I get back to work.

>>20786063
Why are you doing this?

>>20786266
A number of reasons. Lack of direction, lack of love, lack of ability to make a living on my own.

>>20786282
read Charles Bukowski or something. Do it the way he did, just keep going with the flow of things and it'll turn out all right.

Here’s the other arm btw. Not used to cutting.

>>20786240
It's actually great advice if you have a brain

>>20786291
don't put yourself down
practice makes perfect

>>20786291
It’s easier if you don’t use a butter knife.
Also if you do it on your upper legs you won’t have to wear long sleeves for the rest of your life.

>>20786300
scars are effay

>>20786149
>>20786291
What a disgusting pasty faggot. Cutting is a girl's behavior. Just hurry up and kill yourself already, don't waste time on a suicide note, your presence in this world is intolerable.

>>20786312
The fuck is wrong with you psycho
Rethink your life.

>>20786291
What's the hurry? You can always kill yourself, you have the option so don't do it now. And if you really want to do it, at least search for a less painful method. Don't do it anon

>>20786063
>I structure my suicide note?
Can be very informative for some tards in /mu/

>>20786063
Make it a riddle. Something clever.

"What is something that I have that a dead man needs to survive? Turn the page to find out."

And then leave the other side blank.

>>20786326
I can bet he himself is suicidal and is in tremendous pain

>>20786149
Would be better if you stayed alive , and niggers took your place. The world will be worst with one less white gentleman in it.

>>20786149
as a french twink you should at least fuck a handful of guys before exiting life

>>20786063
you have 2 options...
either you try to surpass >>20786085
or you do the opposite and leave something short and weird that makes everyone scratch their heads for years to come, like that dude who jumped the golden gate bridge and he only left a note that said:
>Absolutely no reason except I have a toothache

>>20786396
how about the dude that wrote all over his walls?

>>20786396
>toothache
If only i was there to tell him that putting 2 garlic pieces, opposite of each each other at the route will fix the pain even of an open nerve with void of cariess for hours. There would be +1 husband to a wife and a father to his kids walking this earth right now...

Well another part of it is seeing people have happinesses that I will never have. If I see other people happy I just feel terrible and have the suicidal thoughts come back.

>>20786149
>Those knick-knacks
comfy

>>20786515
That just sounds stupid and shallow. You'll never find that happiness if you keep comparing yourself to others, keep feeling this ungodly envy towards them.
You're stuck in a torpor, paralysed by envy and fear. You need something that can pull you out of this state and launch you into a fervour state. What that is, I don't know. Whatever you're passionate about, focus on that. Writing, painting, this or that, whatever it is just do it. Focus on it until it consumes you so much that these petty thoughts of envy dissipate entirely.

>>20786555
>You'll never find that happiness if you keep comparing yourself to others
because he's worse than them
otherwise it would pose no problem

>>20786183
>>20786063

Mentioning Disco elisium? On your suicide note? Not a good look, and it will seem weird to those that read it.

Anyways, don't kill yourself. I'm not going to pretend that I care for a random dude on 4chan, but struggle and strife are the norm on this word, everyone has to ho through it at some point,even if what causes it is not a material problem but a psychological one. Seek help, both professional and nonprofessional.

I will rant a little here, but I would appreciate it if OP reads it. I have few friends with whom I truly connect, I would even say I only have 1 true friend. However, I always find comfort in the thought that out there there are people who also feel a bit out of place in this word. It's not that I hate normal people but rather that I have a hard time making meaningful connections to them, as the only thing that brings me some sort of pleasure and comfort is reading and learning things, everything else either feels soulless or I do it put of a sense of duty. But those people out there that feel the same as, my companions of the soul, bring me comfort, even if I never meet one. Maybe this message will be read by one of them, and maybe you also feel this kind of loneliness, of this pain. And maybe there is the slight chance that you are one of my unseen friends of the soul.

So please, seek help friend, even if you think it's not worth it.

>>20786561
And what of that? No one ever improved by moping around feeling sad they arent as good as the other people. They burrow their head in the ground and simply do what they must. Once they resurface, that place they were at a little while ago is a distant speck on the horizon, and they realise how unimportant an emotion envy is.

>>20786291
go up and down, not across. also do your legs, not arms. depression is temporary, it comes and goes. life isn't always miserable so if you cut make sure you won't completely make yourself looked deformed

>>20786574
it's an important part that you left out
>>20786579
>depression is
wrong

>>20786183
I was going to suggest he just write some retarded bullshit for the lulz, but it seems like he already did lmao

>>20786574
I suck at social situations. I want to connect with people but no matter how hard I try it seems impossible because of my anxiety. It has gotten to a point where I feel a crushing paranoia whenever I’m out in public, feeling as though every little thing I do is being judged. I’m sick of it. I just want peace and quiet.

>>20786183
>Oh my boy, my darling son has taken his own life!

>Absolutely no reason except I have a toothache
that's actually a really kino note

suicide is so stupid. you're taking a "leap of faith" into the unknown, hoping there will be no consequences. there is nothing well thought out about it.

>>20786623
why do you assume you will find quiet and peace after killing yourself?

>>20786657
>why do you assume you will find quiet and peace after killing yourself?
Because I won’t be in this plane of existence at least.

This playlist helped me, it might help you.
The biggest takeaway for me was learning to recognize the physical signs of anxiety, like jittering, tightness, hyperventalization, etc. and just focus on calming yourself down and controlling your breathing and stimming. Anxiety is so terrible because it has physical effects which cause a feedback loop. Just take it easy, take a deep breath and relax, and the anxiety isn't so bad.

please dont

Don't kill yourself. Just take a risk in your life anon, you'll feel better

>>20787008
And by risk, I mean change something. Suicide is not the answer, trust me

>>20786063
I advise you to think this over.
Suicide is illegal, you'll be a criminal if you go through with it.

It hasn't been posted in this thread, but I am reminded of those who tell people not to kill themselves because it would be "selfish". That's a retarded argument. You know what's actually selfish? Keeping a man who is in pain and wants to die alive just because you "care" about them. If someone wants to kill themselves, let them do it, they are clearly in great pain even if it's over something retarded like being 16 years old. If they pull through, that's good for them, but just telling them "it'll get better someday" doesn't mean shit to someone who is suicidal, you know that if you've ever been suicidal yourself - there's just no possible way you can imagine it ever getting better. If you really want to help someone who is suicidal, give them a firsthand experience that it can get much worse for them and they will be happy with what they've got. Watching cartel torture videos turned me into a bloomer, I'm no longer depressed after knowing that I live a comfy life, I have everything I need - games, music, food, and a nice bed.

>>20786623
I think this is a troll post because nobody should post on 4chan for actual help.
>I just want peace and quiet.
Suicide won't bring peace nor quiet. Have you tried going to a therapist?
I used to be depressed but I found meaning in life and now I'm happier than ever. Don't do it anon. The "eternal void" or whatever is actually eternal pain, and no I'm not talking about hell.

>>20787225
>If you really want to help someone who is suicidal, give them a firsthand experience that it can get much worse for them and they will be happy with what they've got.
This works for me. If I ever get depressed I just read a story or two from Shalamov's Kolyma Tales. A reminder that millions of people in history would have given their right hand to have my life.

If you kys you're unironically a pussy

>>20787740
No they usually just put you on a 3 day psychiatric hold when you chimp out and threaten to kill yourself like a woman. Only way you would get charges is if you pissed the cops that showed up to tell you to stop being a dramatic faggot.

>>20787740
It’s a fake image.

Killing yourself is cringe, grow up and conquer your fear of living like a man.

>>20787225
>just telling them "it'll get better someday" doesn't mean shit to someone who is suicidal
This, to a suicidal person, the idea that things even can get better for them seems like a monstrous crime. Getting better isn't something they deserve

>>20786063
Suicide notes are a retarded idea
You die so there's 0 difference between having and not having written one

>>20786515

When's the last time OP has gotten cuts on his arms from chopping onions in a soup kitchen? When has he used his literacy to read for the blind? If you have life, you must help.

>>20786063
If you kill yourself the Jews win. (Only if you're white, if not, continue with your plan)

>>20786063
what are you trying to achieve? A lot depends on that, but I'll speculate.
The people who slighted you can't be made to feel ashamed, so that's right out. There's very little you can do to comfort those who really cared about you, but you might try thanking them and making sure they know there's nothing they could have done. Or the opposite, if your purpose was to senselessly hurt the undeserving in some kind of perverse final flex.
Anything you'd like to convince others of is unlikely to survive the poison if its association with your (percieved) rudeness in leaving this world, so you're better off preparing that separately and maybe only making reference to it as your desired legacy.

>>20789269
>Getting better isn't something they deserve
Beg to differ. I deserve way better than life has to offer. Everyone does. People telling me "things will get better" annoys me because its groundless wishful thinking that says "no your experiences aren't important, my idle speculation is what you should believe in, and also shut up"
It would be nice if things got better, but my experience is that it won't in any stable or meaningful way. It'll continue to be ultimately tolerable, but more trouble than it's worth.

it makes you happier between writing it and doing it, that way you get the energy to actually do it.

If you were really, genuinely suicidal you would just kill yourself. You don't need a note you fucking pussy.

>>20789720
Your assuming there’s nothing with literally no point of reference.

>>20786183
Honestly feels like it lacks real emotion and your just trying to sound cool. The critic here summarizes it best >>20786215 Please DO NOT commit suicide (your young you still got time go to a cheap school or something like tech or community to move up in life) and if you do write something better. Actually put emotion into it and say what you feel like NEEDS TO BE KNOWN BEFORE YOU DIE and in clear language. Your writing this for practical reasons not to get published or impress anyone man. Your father and mother are reading this shit (hopefully you don’t kill yourself so they don’t have to) say something good and personal to them.
>>20786063

Does anyone here honestly believe that a suicide note will make a difference for the nearest family? At best it won't make a difference, at worst they'll miss/ despise you more after you're gone. Suicide is the escape of a coward. Except there's no one left that loves you, then it doesn't matter.

>>20786149
so you're about as serious as a random 14yo girl

is it just me or is this board and 4chan in general getting increasingly dominated by specific schizos, and not even interesting ones? first the crocodile shill and then this boring attention whore talking about himself all the time in the writing thread and then making new threads every day to talk about himself some more, saying the same shit over and over again. this retard isn't going to kill himself, he's just going to waste everyone's time forever like the black hole he is. stop fucking responding.

how come kim has become so popular as of late, is it a zoomer thing?

i've thought about this a lot and determined that it should be very short. something like "i am sorry, it's not your fault." will suffice.
nothing you can say will mend your family's pain, so it's best to keep it brief so as to avoid accidentally saying something that will complicate the process of grieving

The very fact that you still care about people you’d be leaving behind is reason enough to stay.

I’ve been where you are, although I don’t know the specifics of your situation. I’ve wanted to die. I’ve made the plans, even took a few steps towards some of them. So don’t write me off as some bullshit person.

Look at it this way. How do you feel right now? Upset? You shouldn’t trust yourself to make this permanent, irreversible decision while your mind is clouded by emotion. If suicide really is the right choice for you, that means it’s logically sound. If it’s logically sound, you should be able to choose it without feeling much. Otherwise you’re only acting out of emotion, and emotion is temporary.

Have you tried everything possible to make your life better? Why not? You’re suicidal, which in a way, means you’re absolutely free. You have nothing at all to lose by trying something new. Move, quit your job, switch schools, end relationships, start new relationships, start counselling, get a new counsellor, change your look, try different antidepressants, exercise, get a new hobby… there’s nothing to lose by failing. You can always kill yourself later if you stay alive now, right? So do something huge and new. I would bet there’s something you want that you think is out of reach. Reach for it now. Why not?

Talk to the people you want to write the note for. Not about suicide if you don’t want, but talk to them. I guarantee someone out there will help you. If they don’t, comment here and I’ll talk to you.

You won’t feel this way forever.

>>20786561
>>You'll never find that happiness if you keep comparing yourself to others
>because he's worse than them
>otherwise it would pose no problem
Every living person has someone who is better than them, and who, if they continually obsessed about comparing with them, would drive them to unhappiness. Happiness is a choice, and you make that choice by focusing on either what makes you feel grateful, or what makes you feel inadequate.
Also, become a person of Tawheed rather than atheism, or worse yet, polytheism and its fraternal twin, trinitarianism.
