"I know in my last video I mentioned I'd been diagnosed with a couple of conditions and not to go into too much detail but one of them I have is, there's a lot of manic things in my life which you guys saw," he shared in 2023.

"But the other side of it is and that kind of feels like when when I would lose my sobriety in these moments that were super low and I felt like that today," he continued. "And it's isolating the two things and seeing them separately and like I know what they are now."

"Luckily I have some amazing people around me that kind of look after me but I am sure they can see it in me too that I'm "not really here'"' he concluded during an Instagram video.liam
