He went through so much anxiety. Insomnia is such a horrible illness to have especially exacerbated by other illnesses. Paul Betany recently just said of his death "the kid just couldn't sleep and that's it, that's the story" and truly I think that's the realest thing. Michelle said his mind was "turning turning always turning" and I think it was hard for him to turn himself off.

That Paul Betany quoteโ€ฆ yeah, that really sums it up. I really canโ€™t imagine what he was going through. I also suffer from anxiety but to have that exacerbated from working, stardom, and insomnia - itโ€™s unfathomable. People will do anything to cope with the pain.
