No matter how many times I get told 'you weren't you when you wrote it' or 'you were sick' I still regret it. I lost the trust of my colleagues and managers and also the trust of my best friends. Life was never the same again after that day and I lost a lot of things. 10 months later it came and bite me on the bum and was used against me and I lost my job!
Is it wrong I still remember what was written in the note?

No it is not wrong. I sympathize. A suicide attempt (not a note - a massive attempt) cost me a cushy job too. Now I am trying SO HARD to get a similar, no, worse, job. And presently I work a low paying job without insurance or benefits, no sick days no vacation no nothing, and am HAPPY that I have it because the other option was disability which in America means poverty. Moreover, that suicide attempt as it became known to people at my former work haunts me because I could not get a job reference when I needed it applying for a very good job and because it is a small world and everyone knows everyone here and it would haunt me for ages.
