Alex Jacobsen, 26, was suffering from mental exhaustion and anxiety.
He hadn’t slept for days despite being in a faith-based treatment
program. He felt hopeless and when he spotted a box knife he grabbed it
and held it against his neck pressing harder as it cut through his skin.
This all happened 10 days after he stopped taking his medication, which was when he entered himself into the faith-based program, the Des Moines Register reports. He said he trusted his recovery to them and to God and he almost died from it.
