One Morning in late December I got out of Bed to get an Explosion of Pain in my Back I could not stand, I actually saw Stars & collapsed down to the Carpet Frozen. The first time I ever saw Stars under distress & do not recommend it to others. I could not get up, not wearing much but the thought came in- “you’re not going to solve this without Paramedics help.” I managed to Crab Walk to my Clothes, found my Phone, unlocked my Door, and called 911.

That same early Year I was Hired & given full Duties to start. Full Groups & Single Sessions 5 Days a Week. Charting work shortly after & Medication Management with Staff Floor Nurses & Report to Psychiatrist visits with full Staff Meetings. After Graduation I was given continued Operations but more Intake Patients with different Conditions. Close to 70 Patients were in over the 3 Floors of the Large Building. 2 more new Counselors came in but needed help prior to get going. Also, I ended up called in on Patients with sudden\ planned as for resolution of bodily harm attempts. Always used talks of wanting to change. A Total of 14 Saves over 5 Years! One of the parts of my Life I’m most Proud of.

Overweight & Questionable Health but continue to Eat too much. Both are likely to be on the way for Type 2 Diabetes. Way too much Sodium, High Blood Pressure & constant 5 to 7 Cans of Soda consumption pr. Day. I’m surprised that I haven’t needed a trip to the ER.

My days as Senior Counselor in Chicago at Wilson Health Care. My Duties, Counseling, Charting procedures, 1 on 1, Crisis Intervention/ Resolution. 14 Suicide Attempts stopped & resolved. 15 is Mentioned below & the one I didn't see coming, very Graphic. Lastly why the Facility was closed & reasons I quit just before.
