“And so, by the time the evening time came I was at least like, ‘OK, I’m good,'” Jada recalls. “But then you go to sleep again and then you gotta…you gotta restart.”<\/p>\n

“It’s like when you just don’t have control over emotions, your thoughts, you feel completely and utterly out of control,” Jada shares. “I don’t even think at that particular time I understood that it was what people would consider a nervous breakdown.”<\/p>\n
