Police were called to Ms Myers's home by Fleur Fisher, a therapist and friend who said she called 999 while on a train after not being able to get hold of her for three days.
She told police Ms Myers may have overdosed and she was likely to be in her bedroom.
Asked why she said this, Dr Fisher said she was worried because she could not contact her and "I knew she had often had to struggle against suicidal feelings".
She first met Ms Myers in 1985 when the nurse was referred to her for counselling by the Samaritans.
Over the years they became friends and Ms Myers was "like a member of the extended family", she explained.
She said Ms Myers struggled with her mental health over many years. She took an overdose in 1992, had self-harmed and had "flashbacks from some kind of earlier experience".
Ms Myers suffered from a number of health problems including urological issues and doctors believed she had an emotionally unstable personality disorder.
The coroner reached an open conclusion. She said Ms Myers could have taken an accidental overdose of morphine or could have died from natural causes because of the many medical problems she suffered from.
Dr Wilcox said: "I'm entirely satisfied there is nothing suspicious in Carol's death, there is no evidence of third party involvement."
She said there is "simply no sufficient evidence for the cause of Carol's death".
