And I thought, am I having a heart attack?
And then things started to happen in my brain, physical sensations.
And I was just in this state of panic.
They took me to a hospital and I was given diazepam and that made it.
This was in, yeah, Spanish hospital.
And who took you to the hospital?
Andrea and then I got even more out of it and then the next morning we were beside some cliffs and I literally, and it sounds dreadful to say because I loved Andrea, Andrea loved me, I had parents alive, I had sister alive.
But the only way I can explain the sort of suicidal ideation is that you are trapped in a burning building.
The person in a burning building doesn't really have a death wish.
but they just don't know how to cope.
They're just choosing one alternative over another.
And I think that was how I felt.
And it was distorted thinking, but it was such an intense feeling of terror and depression.
But it's very hard to explain to people who
may have known depression, but maybe not known it to that degree or to that sudden nature, what that felt like.
And I did not think I could get out of it.
And I did not think I could survive another minute of feeling that depression.

And so it was just the two of us in this villa.
