It's going to get better.

You got to believe that.

Was that day, Christmas Day 2003, was that your rock bottom moment?

Well, not only Christmas, my rock bottom, I believe that rock bottom had a basement.

And I went right into that basement and that was it.

That was going to be the end of Markman.

Because you didn't just think about committing suicide.

You were ready to do it.

Yeah.

It was going through so much pain that when you don't have anybody to talk to, you don't have someone in your life that you can just share with.

And not saying that there weren't people that would have listened to me or whatever, but sometimes you feel like you're more of a pain to people.

They don't need to hear your sob stories.

And I held so much inside.

And I think that's the worst thing is because

And when I deal with a lot of students today, too, they hold in this suicidal thoughts or self-harm or whatever it is, this pain.

And when you hold things inside, it's like a volcano.

And sooner or later, that volcano erupts.

And it often erupts in negative behavior, whether it leads to you hurting other people, horrible relationships, anger issues, bitterness, resentment, self-harm, and worst case, those suicidal thoughts.

So if that was the rock bottom moment, take me into your wrestling career.

When did you feel like you were on top of the world?
