Suicide notes

I'm wanting to read real suicide notes that people have left. I've found some scattered here and there, and small portions done by celebrities:

But what I'm really looking for is a comprehensive database of letters from regular folks.

Why would you want to read suicide notes? Why would anyone want to let you read their beloved one's suicide notes? Why are you posting on a NB that you want to read suicide notes, making everyone think you're a sick bastard?

Its a shame that ppl want to die, it must be soo hard, i balme the ppl that make the victums life a missery!!!!

Actually, I found that site quite interesting.

I don't understand what's 'interesting' about it. I can tell you that the people I knew who committed suicide, did not leave notes.
Interesting, no?

Why are you such a mean spirited bitch?

I agree with her. I guess I'm a mean spirited bastard.

Whats 'mean' about thinking a desire to read peoples suicide notes is a bit sick?

No, you're an asshole. But thanks for participating.

But how is my spirit? Mean? Hmm???

I think they are interesting...at school we have lessons on death and the whole process of dying... suicide notes make interesting study because they are real evidence.

is suicide the way out... or the way in?
is suicide a courageous act or an extremely selfish act

etc

BTW Silje your first post was a bit harsh...

DF: your response wasn't great either!

I believe I'm a normal guy... i dont have a morbid curiousity... But I'm facsinated / interested in the way people face up to the realities of death and their own mortality.

Does that make me a "sick bastard"

I wrote a suicide note 18 years ago - don't know what it said but I'm fairly sure it was gibberish, and would have baffled everyone if I actually had the guts to break the window and jump from the 7th floor. Three years later after three hospitalization in 6 months my manic depression has been successfully treated with no relapses.

There - that should kill this topic

You'd think so but I'm contrary so I'm gonna post anyway.

I won't bother asking why, since other people have already done so, but I will add that certain suicide notes can create an unpleasant sensation in the stomach known as "I need to hurl NOW!" and not to do this unless you are willing to endure it.

After you have finished reading your suicide notes, maybe you can organise a coach trip to Auschwitz, the killing fields of Cambodia, hunt for the remaining body on Saddleworth Moor left by Brady & Hindley - so many 'interesting' things to do.....
