a cry for help

Hi,

I want to know if the person really wanted to kill herself or just wanted to draw attention to herself.

Is my sentence sound correct?

Was it a suicide attempt or a cry for help?

Thank you in advance.

Depending on what had gone before, it might well be possible to use 'she' instead of 'the person'.
