So I've decided on my date which gives me a couple of days to tie up some loose ends I've read through quite a lot of the threads on here about hanging. I tried 2 days ago with partial hanging but I was found by my best friend. I got to the stage where I was just about to pass out. This time I have booked a hotel so I can do it as soon as I check in and then I've got around 24 hours before anyone would be there to find me. What I'm struggling with at the minute is writing a note for my family. Does anyone have any advise on what to write to help then understand my depression?

Only people with depression will truly understand.
Try to write from your heart. I am sure you will find the right words to describe the pain you felt.

I just want them to understand and not hate me or feel like they don't have any closure on why I've done it

Tell them what these past few months have been like for you. How much you've suffered, the feelings you've kept inside and how you wish things turned out differently.
Furthermore, assure them that there was nothing that they could have done and that you felt nothing but love for them. Tell them not to blame your death on themselves and that you want nothing but for them to be happy.

Good luck, both in writing your note and catching the bus.
