After reading it a couple more times I noticed that the second, non-suicidal branch of reality is designated as “this one,” so I believe Patricia does not kill her self.
“ …the other branch, THIS ONE, she shouts, ‘Here’s to unsuicide…’”
That there is another branch leaves me with the feeling that she might as well have, which makes sense to me, though I’ve had it up to here with multiple realities and —though branching is a major theme in this book, and I see how he couldn’t resist it— I could really do without a Schrödinger’s fucking Patricia.
