Is it normal to wonder what to write on a suicide note?

I'm not depressed or an emo or anything, but sometimes I just stop and think, if, at that moment in time, I was about to commit suicide, what would I write on the suicide note?

Please write your truthful opinions below. I admire honesty, so don't feel shy to write what you really think.

    It was a long and boring life, when you read it im probably death, or at hospital, or still trying to kill myself, btw, if you miss me, theres 100$ under the pillow

    Yea, I tried writing one before, LOL, what a fail that was!!!!!!!!!!!! Not only did it sound dramatic as hell, but it was like me bitching.

    I've contemplated this question before, although I was very depressed at the time. However, I realized that I already have a journal which contains my inner most thoughts and explanations as to why I was sad. I think that would serve as a much better tool to explain the reason why I committed suicide than a death note.

    Think of the dumb asses @ your work place/high-school and write their names on paper and also say that these people are responsible for my death...

    I would write a letter to whoever I have connected to and have SOME humor it it, because I'm a pretty funny guy and that I don't want people to be sad all the time.....unless they hated me. And then send it to them from the post office. And then kill myself.

    i somethimes think about what were my last words. a long emotional letter? or only a piece of paper with the words: see you later!

    i think this is quite normal.(if you are not depressed or so)

    I would write the cause of my suicide.

    i do that too sometimes.
    i think it's just for realising how you're feeling for other persons or how much you want to tell them..
    but that's just my opinion.

    I wouldn't do a note but a video. I would make it clear to my friend and family that it wasn't their fault.

    I've wondered this too.

    1. a few poems about suicide. But why not write the suicide note as a "poem"? Make it deep and thoughtful. Something that's both easy to understand but, also leaves a bit of mystery.

    2. a goodbye on whatever sites I'm using. trying to give some form of insight on my reasonings.

    3. Letters to people I care about and in each one really try to get them to understand "why" I was going to kill myself and how it's none of their faults. But perhaps, only mine alone...

    Either way, I would want my final words to be memorable. To leave something positive, not just negative.

  • I'd write something for each person I could think of that I have ever met and something for each person I've met that I've forgotten.

    I'd write why I was doing it.

    I'm not sure about the rest. If I ever killed myself I don't think I'd even include a suicide note.

    its always good to carry a suicide note, just in case. i think the best thing to write would be "i was calling for help, but you just didnt hear me/ignored me", this way EVERYONE who was close to you will feel like this note was meant for them, and they will feel guilty for the rest of their life. and they should, after all, you were close to them and yet they didnt stop you from ending your own life.
    of course if youre a little nicer to people, you can just write "thank you for everything, it was great"

    not really normal but i would make sure to make everyone feel shitty for making me kill myself (even if not true) just so they would remember me :D

    Not normal. I suggest you see a psychiatristor go to the hospital. You cannot undo killing yourself. It's permanent. This is the opposite of normal. Get help now.
