I wasn't eating for 3-4 days because I was trying to starve myself to death. I felt an urge to talk to Trisha. We sat down in a private office because she was worried about my not eating. I told her I had enough and just wanted to end it. I wasn't thinking about my son or my family or friends. She told me that if I did this I would cause great pain to my son, my family, and my friends because I had gone through the pain of losing my mother to suicide. She helped talk me out of it and without her encouragement, I would have continued. She saved my life! Every time she works with me she goes over and above making sure my needs are met! She has even brought me in a pair of her sneakers because mine were wearing out.
