“used to think that suicide that’s documented is attention seeking. However, when I think about it deeply, perhaps she wanted to be found by her loved ones, saved and taken to hospital or so before the poison spreads in her. She might have had that little hope in her,” a tweep wrote.
“Our kids are going through the most they are graduates but still unemployed. They feel empty and useless. Some have only matric, they can’t further their studies due to financial difficulties. Parents let’s support our kids, show them love . Never ever neglect your children,” another wrote.

Tips on how to deal with suicidal feelings
Suicide: What to do when someone is thinking about suicide
When someone you know talks about taking their own life, you might not know what to do. Learn warning signs, what questions to ask and how to get help.
When someone you know talks about taking their own life or says things that sound like a suicide plan, it can be very upsetting. You may not know whether to take the talk of suicide seriously. You also may wonder whether you could make the situation worse by getting involved. Taking action is always the best choice. Here’s what to do.
Start by asking questions
The first step is to find out whether the person is in danger of acting on feelings about suicide. Be sensitive, but ask direct questions, such as:
How are you coping with what’s been happening in your life?
Do you ever feel like just giving up?
Are you thinking about dying?
Are you thinking about hurting yourself?
Are you thinking about suicide?
Have you ever thought about suicide before or tried to harm yourself before?
Have you thought about how or when you’d do it?
Do you have access to weapons or things that can be used as weapons to harm yourself?
Asking about thoughts or feelings about suicide will not push a person into suicide. In fact, giving someone a chance to talk about feelings may reduce the person’s risk of acting on those feelings.
Look for warning signs
When a loved one or friend is thinking about suicide, they may:
Talk about suicide, such as “I’m going to kill myself,” “I wish I were dead” or “I wish I hadn’t been born.”
Get the means for suicide, such as buying a gun or gathering a supply of pills.
Withdraw from social contact and want to be left alone.
Have mood swings, such as being emotionally high one day and deeply sad the next.
Talk or write about death, dying or violence.
Feel trapped or hopeless about a situation.
Increase the use of alcohol or drugs.
Change routines, including eating or sleeping patterns.
Do risky or self-destructive things, such as using drugs or driving in a way that could cause harm.
Give away belongings or get affairs in order when there is no reason to do so.
Say final goodbyes to people.
Develop personality changes or be overly anxious or agitated, particularly along with other warning signs.
For help right away
If someone has tried suicide:
Do not leave the person alone.
Call 911 or your local emergency number right away. Or if you think you can do so safely, take the person to the nearest hospital emergency department.
Try to find out if the person is under the influence of alcohol or drugs or may have taken an overdose.
Tell a family member or friend right away what’s going on.
If a friend or loved one talks or behaves in a way that makes you believe the person might try suicide, do not try to handle the situation alone. Instead:
Get help from a trained professional as quickly as possible. Your friend or loved one may need to stay in the hospital until the suicidal crisis passes.
