The family gave hints about her mental health. Her sister said that she didn't realise how Caroline felt things so much deeply than her. Her mum talked about how she was constantly up and down mood wise. One minute crying and inconsolable and the next, jumping about, gloriously happy. She'd been like that from a very young age. The footage shown, when her mum was talking about that, was about 7.
She couldn't deal with abandonment, she self harmed by cutting her wrists and had made several suicide attempts. When she was first hospitalised for a suicide attempt, she saw doctors, her mum talked about that. There must have been a psych evaluation at some point. I believe the family gave as much help and support as they could. Her mother did talk about her seeing Drs.
I got the feeling that she didn't have much in her life apart from work and once that was gone, plus the extreme negative press attention, led to her suicide. Like they all said, it was just a matter of time and you felt as though there was an awful amount of information missing from those accounts.
The misogynistic attention she received was absolutely dreadful. People really went for her didn't they. Olly Murs was saying that he didn't receive the same level of vitriol in social media. I have never watched anything with her in it, so had no idea who she was. What struck me was how empty her life was.
I have no idea if she was self medicating through drugs and alcohol but it wouldn't surprise me, given what she was going through and her sensitivity to outside validation. She had a series of unstable relationships. They said absolutely nothing about her temper, which was interesting. None of them said that they were surprised at the DV charge either or that it was out of character.
I think the documentary was more interesting for what it left out.
