‘I hit a point where I didn’t know what I was doing, why I was here, what was happening, where my life was going,’ she told the Sydney Morning Herald.
‘I thought I knew. I was 23, and all this bad stuff was happening. I tried to spiritually find why. I got through it because I had to get through it.
‘What was the other option? To sit and feel sorry for myself? I think I had to hit that low point, to be in so much pain and so upset and so traumatised, to then have that sense of empowerment again: I can get through this.’

Tessa, who shot to fame playing Nicole Franklin on Home And Away, first met Nate through their mutual friends Jodi and Braith Anasta in 2009.
Gushing about his now-wife, the rugby league player previously told Daily Life he fell for Tessa after spotting her ‘piercing’ blue eyes.
‘She had long blonde hair and her eyes stood out like – you won’t be able to write ‘like t**s on a bull,’ but they just stood out, mate,’ Nate said.
Equally smitten with her man, Tessa told the publication: ‘He makes me feel like a better person, and strong, like I can do anything and be anybody I want.’
