To everyone who has said this is a selfish act I think they need to just take a moment to try and comprehend what must be going through someones head for them to take their own life. How unhappy and how desperate must someone be to think there is no other way ?


It is tragic, and to be left feeling... 'If only....' is something she'll be left with for the rest of her life.

I think the best thing you can do is get your girlfriend some specialist help, being there for her should go without saying but to talk to a professional counsellor may help her understand and come to terms with whats happened.

Most Uni's can arrange this alternatively she needs to speak to her GP and see if they can refer her to someone who can help.

Its also worth explaining to the Uni as soon as possible, they have things in place for students who suffer things like this.

My little sister had something done with some of her results in her first year at Uni when my Dad had cancer, cant think what they called it. But her tutor should know.
