00:00It has just been a tornado.
00:02I was on a massive high and had been on for...
00:10..for several days.
00:14I was having hallucinations,
00:16feelings of paranoia and even suicidal thoughts.
00:20You are a danger for yourself.
00:23It's when I pushed the red button.
00:26Melanie made the difficult decision
00:29to have me sectioned, which involved me being sedated.
00:33The knock on the door, there's a policeman.
00:36Then five firemen and then a doctor with an assistant.
00:39And I'm like, what the hell is going on here?
00:41And then I saw the doctor pull out this big syringe
00:44and then I woke up in... The hospital.
00:46..in this hospital, yeah.
00:48It has been the most horrible hours of my life.
00:51I realise now, looking back at it,
00:53it's horrible for people that...
00:59..care about you.
