Life coach helps Barrino
American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino has spoken out about her suicide attempt.
Two weeks ago the 26 year old was named as the other woman in a bitter divorce case and was hospital for three days after she took a mixture of aspirin and sleeping pills.
"I think everybody feels like I tried to harm myself over a man. But I've been through a lot of bad relationships. That had something to do with it because it was so heavy, it was brand new information."
"I think I was just overloaded with everything, with carrying six years of so much...it just became heavy for me to the point where I wanted to be away from the noise," she told Peace FM Online.
However, Fantasia revealed that a life coach has helped her realise that hiding her problems whilst trying to please and take care of everyone else in her life is doing her no favours.
"I have to please myself. What does 'Tasia want to do when she wakes up in the morning?... I have to learn how to say 'no'" she said.
The mother of one also credits the ongoing life coaching course with helping her get back to work.
"I get to speak with a life coach now and that's something I've never done. I'm glad that I have a life coach in my life because he's been teaching me some things. He asked me 'Are you ready to go back to work?' and at first I didn't think I was ready to come back because I didn't know what I was stepping into," she said.
