We see with other instances of suicide amongst "influencers", such as in S Korea, that there is a real risk of mental health issues that go with that role. Perhaps they set impossible standards for themselves and have an enormous fear of what they perceive as failure.

Really awful what she just did to her daughter. She should have checked herself in.
Obviously, suicide isn't rational. People saying she's selfish are in a state of mind that she wasn't. It's easy to say she should have thought about other people, but that's not how suicide and depression work.
It’s understandable to think that suicide is a selfish act, but there’s much more to the story. Here, we break down some common myths that drive this misconception.

One of the head scratchers to me is that her brother had killed himself and she seemed immersed enough to be have access to resources to help herself. Of course people are often way better at helping others than helping themselves.
3 years away from collecting military retirement, brutal. As a 17 yr E-6 she may have had work pressures since most are E-7s or E-8s by then. Military culture is predicated on the promotion system since rank is worn on your chest for all to see. Very tragic, may she rest in peace.
People are going through things that you’d never ever know. It doesn’t have to be someone that has been in combat or a trauma surgeon at the hospital- just the person standing next to you. Call or reach out for assistance if that’s you. There is absolutely no shame in it whatsoever.
Another case where the influencer culture is built on a fabricated illusion of posting perfect pictures where one attempts to depict a perfect life and sell things by the number of followers you have. The cult of narcissism is not glamorous but evil.
Suicide is tragic, however it is ultimately a personal and selfish decision that harms and scars the lives of loved ones left behind
If you think that work as an influencer shows narcissism, you don't have any understanding of narcissism. (I studied psychiatry before going into my specialty.)
Your comments on suicide are also deeply ignorant.
