I was stung 25 years ago by a box jellyfish.

The suicidal tendacies petered out after only 24 months.

Excuse me of my question is unpleasant for you, but why do you have suicidal tendencies for 2 years? Is it objective property of box jellyfish venom (like some medicine can induce suicidal thoughts) or it is because it was painful for whole 24 months?
Box jellyfishes are on a different level. Jellyfish on steroids level of sting.
I know (fortunately from BBC documentaries and other sources, not from first-hand experience), but 24 months?
The pain of the sting made me want to kill myself to end it.
