I am not trying to downplay the seriousness of such despair but usually if you want to commit suicide you will. It was probably more of a half hearted attempt and a plea for help and attention.

He's half right, its also because she's female, generally males go with a more violent form of suicide and thus are usually more successful. Something like a gun to the head or hanging themselves - brutally more effective than a slow and peaceful way such as ODing on pills.

You have your opinion I have mine. If she really wanted to check out she would have ensured she did it in a manner in which there was little hope of survival. I don't considering her method as such an attempt.

You sould have read my post, yes I agree that many if not most suicides are more of an attempt at a cry for help, but at the same time it isn't fair to say something like that because male and female minds work differently she could have really wanted to die but because females tend to not even consider the more violent (and sadly more effective) methods, I'm guessing that is part of why she was unsuccessful.

I did read your post. My retort was directed to Weeeman but I think you have a valid point.

One of many stars on a hit show that think they carry the entire cast and after huge and unreasonable demands that get denied leave the show to hit the big time, only to hit the big career end.

I liked her a lot as Diane, though and am very sorry that she felt so down that she thought this was the only way out.

🙁
