[Of her suicide attempt]: It sorta snuck up on me, and I think it because I had my daughter, and during that period, my marriage broke up, and I was alone, and I was staying up at night, and I would go out and work and then, I would be getting 2 to 3 hours a sleep a day.

The radio was playing exactly that minute.

The old me was departed and the new me was on the rise.
