What was your darkest moment?

I’ve had a lot of dark moments, but I think the Molotov cocktail thrown at my bus in Israel was the darkest I ever got that I can discuss publicly.

I lay on my bed and said “Fine, let me just die already.” I was in a level of depression that was so deep, I just couldn’t handle it.

I couldn’t handle that a fellow human being saw a civilian bus and decided to attempt to kill the people on it. We were defenseless, we were helpless and they wanted us dead.

What kind of world did I live in?

It hit me how meaningless and pointless and fragile my existence was.

I just wanted to stop trying.

I still struggle with PTSD. Today, I woke up in that dark place after the Chelsea bombings, I was heading to Chelsea when it happened. A few minutes…

But I’m getting better.
