Surely the outward signs were there: depression, reclusive, uncertain, introvert behaviour, who knows what else.
Maybe the alarm bells were faulty.
I just cannot fathom that her support base was, not necessarily oblivious to het state of despair, but not at the very least monitoring, supporting with constant supervision.

Depressions are extremely malicious, like an anaconda growing inside you and strangling you from within, slowly, silently. And even beyond that, not everybody can bear everything forever. While supporters not necessarily always can save everybody. Sometimes too much is just too much. Everybody has his/her breaking point.
