"So little time" was the two years that she had the gold where we have no idea what she was doing. She didn't think either of her relationships with George or Jessica could work in the long term, and we know that a mysterious incident would have occurred even if Battler hadn't returned to the island. I don't think it's a huge stretch to think she was contemplating vanishing from the island long before the incident actually occurred.

She may have considered actually blowing up the island, in the way that Kyrie considered murdering Asumu. We'll never know if she really did consider it, or whether she would have gone through with it, but we can at least conclude from Battler's behavior toward Beatrice and the epilogue of EP8 that she didn't actually kill anyone herself during the murder game.
So yes, she felt guilty enough to commit suicide over the deaths that occurred, but that's not quite the same thing as being determined to blow everyone up along with herself. In the former case, she might choose not to commit suicide if she had the opportunity to save somebody else. For instance, what if Battler was responsible for the murder game escalating into actual murders, and he tried to commit suicide out of guilt himself after learning the truth from Yasu?
