If you decided to commit suicide would you say goodbye to your loved ones before you killed yourself?

Yes. How else would they know what song to play at my funeral?

My mom was gonna shoot her self in the head, so she was gonna get every one she loved with her then do it. (she dident do it)

Hell No.
If
i say goodbye...wont they stop me?
Then the same old emotional blackmailing.
SUX.
Its better ...to stay SHUT ...and do it.

I'd leave a note to my family, my last will and testmant and such, as well as instructions for my funural, et cetera.

I'd say good bye to my closest friends, and espesicaly the one I love... I'd let her know that I'd be watching out for her...

When I was in my early teens I thought I wanted to kill myself, I wrote a suicide note thought I had it all planned out, I thought I was going to rid the world & my family of their misery which I thought was me. I got so sick of hurting & feeling like I was just a burden I wanted to end it all. By the grace of god, I made it through was terribly sick for a long time & during that time I realized that life wasnt always going to be that bad. We are in control of our own future, only we can make it better & only we can get out of the painful situations we are living in. I've since lost several loved ones to suicide, I just wish I could've known how bad their pain was & possibly helped them see another way out other then that. My son is left without his father, my friend is left without her son & all thats left is more pain for the ones living & so many unanswered questions. Suicide ain't the way out hon, if you or anyone you know needs help please get it. You are loved by so many people that you don't even know & I'm sure even more by the ones that do know you. I promise it will get better & you will see that life is worth living & there is something to live for. Please don't give up we love you or your friend.

no, i would leave a note i would not be able to actually face them and tell them.

I did write good bye letters, but after some thought, I decided to throw them away. I have been talking to my family and feel ok. I never would tell them I was planning to kill myself. I don't want to be talked out of it or worse, put into the hospital. A note would only keep them thinking about me. I want to be gone quitely so they can just move on.

I think I would write them letters...

I only have 1 friend. I have family that wouldn't even wait until I was cold before they would come in here and take what they want to resell it. I don't consider them family . As for will I tell my 1 friend..probably not. He's stressed out enough and doesn't need to deal with it. I will just disappear one day and nobody will even know I am gone.

If I wanted to make them feel more guilty and screwed up after I was dead, yes. Like they won't feel bad enough, it will probably make them more confused and bewildered than they would already.
Selfishness is like that, though.

probely just try, no letter , no good bye. what if it fails? if yor dead u won't care. if you live your busted if you send a note

I was actually thinking about this earlier today, and no, I don't think I would. If I ever end up in this situation, I would probably leave a note.

I have decided to commit suicide. I have no immediate family except for an estranged sister who I have not and will not talk to nor interact with for any reason. The only thing I intend on doing is leaving the guy who is putting me up in his 'mother-in-laws' apartment onthe rear of his house a note thanking him for his generosity and asking him to please find my dogs good homes.

I have 3 Weimaraner dogs who I know will miss me very much, but a dog's memory and their grief over losing me will disappear quickly once they are in a new home.

The reason that I have decided to do this? It's simple!

I am a recovering alcoholic (have been alcohol free since early 2009) who let his alcoholism get him into some trouble that he can't get out of nor away from. In early 2009 I let a drunken episode get me in trouble again and ended up having a warrant sworn out against me for indecent exposure. I am a blackout drunk who ends up naked when allowed to engage freely in my alcoholism. This incident happened on my own property at night and was my alcoholic reaction to what I perceived at the time to be harrassment from some of the neighbors in my subdivison.

Subsequently, I was convicted of 4 counts of misdemeanor indecent exposure. Because this type of charge had happened before several years before (in TN), the Judge I went in front of in South Carolina had leeway to use "his discretion" to assign me to the sex offenders registry. I am now a registered sex offender as a result of my alcoholism and there is no escaping the effects it is having on my life.

Up until being convicted I was a productive member of the professional IT industry as a mainframe applications developer making in excess of $70K per year. With 2 homes in TN and my salary my assets amounted to nearly $500K. Since being convicted I have had to claim bankruptcy, have had 2 cars repossesed and have not been able to get a job. I have applied for everything from retail sales to my former IT type position as a programmer. NOBODY will even consider me for employment because I am a registered sex offender.

Having said that, I am now out of options. I have no money, no job, no prospects for a job, no way to support myself and no way to even buy my dogs any dog food. My life is over.

At 58 years of age and with an otherwise impecable reputation, this conviction and subsequent assignment to the sex offender registry has completely ruined my life. It is too late. It's over. And it's sad in a way. I really am normal in every other way, except when I am allowed to engage in my alcoholism and drink myself into a blackout where I end up offending someone with my nakedness and lewdness.

Convincing anybody that this is not the real me when sober is like trying to convince someone that the sky is green and the grass is blue. It just does not work. So, I will say goodbye to you all and tell you that before the middle of July 2011 I will be dead.

May God Bless for allowing me to vent publiclly before doing the deed.

Your loved ones will most likely talk you out of it. In all likelihood, you would be committed to a mental hospital. Trust me, this is no fun!

A good question, though, I debate from time to time. My brother has talked about killing himself and has mentioned some great ways -- he's said he would rent a boat, tie a large anvil or weight to his body and drown himself in the middle of the ocean. This way, the body would never be discovered and it would appear to be an accident.

knowing someone you loved has taken their own life is dreadfully painful. Making it look like an accident, in my opinion, makes acceptance come faster.

Having said all of this, I'm a fan of spending that one last night or week together -- then quietly sneak out in the middle of the night, and find a nice quiet place to end it.

Not unless you want someone to stop you. +4

NO! I'd just burn myself alive and not say goodbye to anybody! All of my loved ones are all dead anyhow, I don't know anyone else and glad I don't!
