She explained that about one month after she welcomed her second son, Barry, with husband Daryl Sabara, she had an incident while putting the baby to bed alone that made her realize she needed professional help. She recalled how the infant wouldn't settle down, which lead to her having a 'panic attack' and feeling like she might 'pass out.'.

'A month after having my second baby, I hit a breaking point. I’ll never forget it, it’s like it was yesterday - I’m sweating, just thinking about it,' shared the mother-of-two. 'I was holding Barry, my newborn, and he was crying and crying. My husband was with our toddler, Riley, putting him to bed, so I was alone with Barry.
