'I was deeply depressed when I was eight years
old,' he said. 'I went to my mum crying and told her I wanted to kill myself.’
'I felt cold and bitter. I hated God for doing
this to me and was terrified of what would happen when my parents weren't there
to look after me.’
'I could brush my own teeth with a wall
mounted brush and wash my own hair with pump action soap, but there was so much
that was impossible for me.'
At age ten Nick tried to drown himself in the
bath but luckily the attempt was unsuccessful. 'I felt there was no purpose when
you lack purpose and strength. It is hard to hold on,' he said. But with the
help of his religion, friends and family, Nick managed to pull through to
become an international symbol of triumph over adversity.
