As she explained, “There wasn’t a huge, horrible moment. But I knew I needed to go take care of myself.” In the lengthy piece, she admitted to abusing drugs while experiencing depression. She wrote, “I didn’t sleep or want to talk to anyone, nothing seemed to have a point, the world lost its color, and food lost its taste. I was so removed from my body and from my mind that it was like I was living in a cardboard replica of what life should be. Not even so much because I was doing drugs, but because I was so sad and so unhappy.”
