It was the outline to an autobiography. I thought I had an interesting story to tell, and perhaps I do, but lost interest after a while, plus I felt a little ridiculous writing an autobiography at only 30 years old. The outline alone is 11 pages long, got fairly detailed with it. I had written 37 pages of actual text before fizzling out.
Has anyone else done or attempted something like this? I think a lot of us have interesting tales to tell. I hadn’t yet gotten to writing details of psychosis when I stopped writing it, was only two pages into the chapter that would have included my first psychotic break.

I recovered all my files and came across a suicide note I wrote in 2013. Wasn’t good so real glad I’m still alive…

I think I still have my two suicide notes from 2000 somewhere, not good to read, though. There was a third one in 2008, that I wrote in a psych unit, but I ended up giving it to a nurse after admitting to sort of trying to kill myself in my room. Yeah, I don’t think I’d want to read it anyway, it was pretty messed up from what I remember of it.

I haven’t had that experience but I wrote a suicide note to my kids in 2015 that I don’t want to ever read. I felt the world hated me. I felt targeted, attacked, bullied and harassed. No one would be my friend.
ehhh, no point reliving it. Anyway, haven’t run across it and don’t want to.
i wanted to write an autobiography once. it was after i left home. i explored a lot of things that i felt needed to be recorded. never really got to it though. it’s not easy to write about the past, especially when it brings back memories.
