I will turn the tables a bit on this discussion and share a personal experience.
I am generally considered to be an attractive and "put together" woman but I have struggled with depression since childhood (which was extremely traumatic, but that is a topic for another thread.) Years ago, I didn't have insurance and I needed meds to control my depression. I lived in a major city with a public health center that was supposed to help the uninsured.
Through great effort one day, I dragged myself out of bed and got dressed and headed down to my appointment. I spoke to a social worker who was the first step in getting my meds. He gave me a long (leering) once over and proclaimed "you sure don't LOOK like you have ANYTHING wrong with you!" and proceeded to minimize everything I said. I finally got a RX for a drug I had already tried and did not work on me. When I protested back to the social worker, he said if I wanted to "get together for dinner" he might be able to help.
Of course, I reported this. But I still didn't have my meds and almost lost my job when I became so depressed I couldn't leave the house. Appearances can be decieving. Being attractive is not an answer to most of life's problems. I have no clue why people think it is.
depression is hard. and it effects has no color lines or boundaries. am sorry this happen to u
Because depression doesn't discriminate with who it affects, attractive or not. The social worker who told you that should have been struck off.
I think the main problem some people have with this thread is that the OP had to point out that a "beautiful" woman committed suicide. Her looks had nothing to do with it, although it also adds fuel to the fire that people value physical appearance far too highly, because if it'd been some ugly/average looking person, few people would have batted an eyelid. That's how shallow the human race is.
her life was beauitful not her face or anything esle ................
a beautiful women 22 year old jump off the G W bridge. how is it that you can look so perfect and make such horrible decision? and every one that needs to die keeps going strong.
Are people somehow under the impression that attractive looking people are successful and have everything going well in their life? People, no matter how they appear are all people, and they all experience the same problems and emotions. Just because she was attractive looking does not mean she was well off, does not mean her life was in order, does not mean she was married or had a close boyfriend, and it most certainly DOES NOT mean she was happy.
The real tragedy here is not that a beautiful woman was lost, it's that a person felt the need to take their own life and they succeeded. She could have been a great product to society, but through her own internal demons that she fought with, she eventually lost this battle by taking her own life.
I'm curious to find the reason why she was compelled to commit suicide, where was her family, where were her friends, why could she not go to them, and how can we prevent more people from doing this.

Not everyone has supportive family and friends. In fact, a lot of people don't.

Apparently, people do think that if you are above average in looks, everything else will just fall into place. Not only is that patently false, it sets up a situation in which the expectations that a physically good looking person will always be healthy and happy. That is simpleminded to the point of idiocy.
unfortunately, the more beautiful a women is, the more dishonest people lie to her to get close to her and it happens to them all the time....nice men fear beautiful women...and fear asking them out....for the most part, beautiful women have a whole lot of self esteem problems, due to all the vultures lieing to them....and it scars them forever....
it is most unfortunate and tragic, but true.
