Now granted, this doesn't mean that her many television, radio and magazine interviews can't still be sensationalized excuses for publicity, pity and a paycheck - but I'm just a little iffy on the need to justify the suicide thing in general. Probably just that psych & service as a peer counselor from undergrad talking!

I was a Psych major too and currently working on my LPC, so in no way am I am trying to downplay suicide or the devastating effects it has on a person. You are right there are many triggers and reasons why people talk themselves out of it so trust me suicide is a very serious matter and I don't take it lightly....
Having said all that.....
I still think Juanita is full of it
