Fans who follow him on YouTube might already be aware of his struggles with anxiety and depression. Rain detailed these struggles in a video he posted back in July, where he stated that his money and success had no bearing on his anxiety, and that, while he was glad to have internet fame, it didn’t fix the root of the problem.
“It didn’t cure anything,” he admitted. “It didn’t fix all the actual problems I have in my head that I don’t even know why I have.”
