So it turns out this is fucked up.

Woa, she actually went ahead and did it?

[Rick_D]

all accounts say yes. this is slightly voyeuristic but it was the ol' pills. problem with pills is a good stomach pump and a week in hospital and you're back on form. so hopefully nobody died.

it's far more agonising to live a long life and die at 80. then you can suffer for a good 60+ years.

Not much intrigue to my eyes, just a sad story

People who commit suicide tend to forget something. For whatever reason they've convinced themselves that the only way to take the pain away is to end their lives. But the pain doesn't go away, it remains in those you leave behind.

so uh, what was the rationale for the suicide? i was lead to believe that there would be intrigue here, yet there seems to be nothing of the sort.

Well this is fucked up.

She's alive and at the hospital. Not sure if I'm going to post more details but that's all I have for now, not sure if she even wants me to share that on here, but it sounds like things have gotten a bit serious... but she's okay right now.

Suicide always brings mixed feelings. I immediately think that its really selfish to kill yourself.

But it's also really selfish for the closest ones to expect you to white knuckle it through life just so that they wont feel bad.

can someone explain why i should give a shit real quick

[Sentura]

i looked into it, and apparently it also had to do with a botched sex change operation among other things (not counting the life saving operation), which would explain the missing support from family. i guess this individual pushed itself into a corner.

True, the door swings both ways. But I personally don't feel suicide is a justifiable last resort (there are always exceptions). I work next to a pretty high building and we've got at least one jumper a year. That's the worst though. Other people having to clean up after you. Scaring the shit out of people walking by and stuff. Don't make your problems our problems.

He was scamming people for a sex change surgery.

Games journalism makes me nauseous so I haven’t been following this, but I saw Anna Anthropy on twitter complaining about Destructoid "outing" someone and I assume it's the same thing.

[Thrik]

To be honest she sounds like a nutcase to me.
