“Like I couldn’t remember what was good about me. I couldn’t remember why anyone would even like me. I couldn’t even remember why I was even here and at my lowest point I tried to kill myself. I was completely disintegrating. It was a very tough time. I wasn’t eating. I wasn’t talking to anyone. It was literally destroying me.”
