What is wrong with Esther? Why does she try to kill herself?

Esther is so shocked by what happened with Marco on her last night out in New York. He tries to rape her, and she ends up having an unfortunate evening. This makes her want to attempt suicide again, by trying to OD on sleeping pills. When she comes home the next day she finds out that she wasn’t accepted into the Honors Writing course at Cambridge. All of these events put her through so much stress that she doesn’t want to go through the obstacles of life to face her problems.
