does anyone have any advice to write a good sui!de note? im writing a book.
Express your pain and leave an apology. Don't justify or blame. Don't try hard to make it beautiful since suicide is an ugly and sad thing.
>>34410098Anon, you made this same thread asking for advice on it a couple of days ago. Please stop, get some help, try to talk with someone, rather than asking for other people to help you with that.Live, anon. Life goes on, brother.
>>34410113Im writing a book...no ones life has innate value, that comes from what you make of it and everyone deserves freedom from their suffering. please dont say something like that to someone who is actually suicidal.
>>34410141I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be rude or anything, I just don't like seeing people like that... I legit want people to live and be well. Life is complicated, but there are good things out there, we can make it work, make things better.
*ok. thanks, i guess.
you already fucking posted this thread
>>34410098I'm sure most people have told you, but the action your describing in a novel is dangerous as it could provide others a template to commit harmful actions which contributes to real-world harm. If your dead set on it, I'd suggest portraying the action in an entirely negative light. Show the character is actively suffering, but identify their refusal to seek help from others and their rejection of the feelings of their family, friends and those who care about them. Show the impact of such a selfish and destructive action not as a method of revenge or a way to gain power over others but as a cowards way to address problems in life. FAR to often suicide is posted as a good or a romantic benefit in fiction. Suicide loss survivors are often deemed the "largest mental health casualties," facing higher rates of depression, anxiety, and PTSD.Killing yourself doesn't end the trauma, it just passes it on to the people who'll find your body. Focus on recovering from your darkest moment and push the audience to reject suicide as an answer in any form.
>>34410098Realistically the only thing you can actually achieve in a suicide note is make it clear that it was actually suicide (as opposed to, say, some kind of accident or screw-up).
I’ve come from a father who killed himself, my grandpa did too
>>34410285no absolutely not i would rather go to prison for the rest of my life than do something like that.
>>34410141>no ones life has innate valueWrongOtherwise it would be fine to kill 1 year olds
