Amy Winehouse: I'm so ashamed

Troubled star speaks of overdose trauma

Amy Winehouse

Amy Winehouse describes herself as 'engulfed in shame' following her overdose in August.

The Rehab singer, 24, insists that she owes her life to husband Blake.

'I really thought I was on the way out. My husband Blake saved my life, brought me into hospital,' she explains.

Amy collapsed in A&E after taking a cocktail of drugs, and had to have her stomach pumped. She says she's shocked at her own behaviour.

'Often I don't know what I do. Then the next day the memory returns. And then I am engulfed in shame,' she tells German magazine Stern.

The star also reveals that she has sought help for depression.

'I have taken pills for depression but they slowed me down. I felt that a black cloud hangs over me. I believe there are lots of people who have these mood changes.'
