On July 26, Rain, one of the main owners of FaZe Clan, uploaded a video on YouTube discussing why he has taken a break from the platform, along with how his battle against mental illness almost reached a breaking point in April of 2018. When discussing the wealth that he has generated in his time as a YouTuber, Rain mentioned that money is not a \u2018cure\u2019 for all the problems that he has dealt with in his mind since he was younger, even though some of his viewers may think otherwise. \u201cI really wish making money would helo me get over the feelings I\u2019ve had my whole life, but it hasn\u2019t. Maybe it will for you, but it didn\u2019t for me. Money fixed some problems [\u2026] It\u2019s not about that. Of courrse everyone could use extra money and, like, help people in their lives and everything, but it\u2019s not the cure for me [\u2026] It\u2019s not going to get rid of my anxiety, get rid of my depression \u2013 it\u2019s not going to do that. Rain would later go on to discuss how he did not want to \u2018cater\u2019 to the way he thought YouTube wanted him to be in his videos, and that it was \u2018demotivating\u2019 that the platform started to change their guidelines. \u201cIt was just that they wouldn\u2019t show any of my videos anymore and YouTube become way more controlled, so it was very demotivating for me. I\u2019ve been doing this shit since I was 11 years old., man [\u2026] I don\u2019t know what the reason was \u2013 I think VapeLordNord \u2013 maybe because I swear too much, maybe because I\u2019m not family friendly, but I\u2019m not going to change who I am just for YouTube\u2026\u201d However, after he decided to take a step back from Youtube, Rain reveals that he had a mental breakdown in April of 2018 which landed him in a hospital for a couple of days, along with being placed in a \u2018psych ward.\u2019 \u201cCome April, mid-April, I had my worst mental breakdown, like, of all time. I went through them pretty much every other day, if not every day. Some shit happened, I\u2019m not going to lie. Self-harm shit. Ended up in a hospital for a few days, and then i ended up in a psych ward [\u2026] I was around so many people going through problems one hundred times worse than I had.\u201d The full video can be viewed below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
