I'm not sure if you're looking for a story about suicide or info, but for stories I recommend No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai. It's a difficult read though.

+1 I am a huge fan of Dazai's work and I highly recommend his other books as well. No longer human has stuck with me to the point I bought it in 2 languages. As for my recommendation, I don't have anything non fiction related but as far as fiction goes I love Oyasumi Punpun even though I don't like manga.

Dead already. Just need to dispose of my body now.

A Happy Death and/or The Stranger by Albert Camus.
While more about futility/nihilism and death in general and not specifically about suicide, these two do touch on the subject a bit.

Any idea of where I could read it online? Tried looking for it and there's nothing. Don't want to pay $25 on Amazon for a hardcover that I may not even like XD.

For non-fiction, I'd recommend stuff by Thomas Joiner. You can find it on Library Genesis

I know its extremely silly writing it here but just saying it is very dark. I like it because I relate to it a lot. An interesting fact is that the author has passed away by ctb, and a good chunk of the story is a 1 to 1 retelling of his life or his thoughts but not all of it.
I tried to send it as a private message but it doesnt let me, I am not sure if Piracy talk is allowed on the forum but I could not find it in the rules.
If you want to get it for free check out Annas Archive, its the best free website that archives/links tons of books for free from sites like libgen. Just make sure to go on it with adblock.
Link: https://annas-archive.org/search?q=On+Suicide:+A+Discourse+on+Voluntary+Death
Then you click on the book you want to download and either pick slow download or external download.
If you do not have a reader for it you can use Google Play Books and upload it there and you will have access to it on all of your devices (on ios/android download the Google Books app)

Undoing Suicidism: A Trans, Queer, Crip Approach to Rethinking (Assisted) Suicide — by Alexandre Baril
I love this book and last I checked it was free on kindle. It coins a new term (suicidism) to describe the oppression that suicidal people face in society (involuntary commitment, social stigma, etc), and proposes a completely new model for approaching suicide in society. Did I mention that I love it? I love it.

I've read the synopsis and am reading the beginning of the book and I'm astonished by how much I'm relating to everything lol

" A very human ending" by Jesse Bering. Provides a lot of useful information on the science behind suicide coupled with interesting anecdotes from the author himself, read it last year and thoroughly enjoyed.
