“Because – because when you feel that bad, that low, you stop caring. About everything and everyone. You can only think of yourself.’ His voice is hoarse, hesitant and barely audible, as if he is having to force the words out. ‘The pain is so … big, it takes up all the space in your body, in your mind, and there isn’t room for anything else. All you can think about is your own suffering, and how to stop it – you’d do anything to stop it. Anything. I really mean anything.”
