People should know that she was manic depressive and refused to take medication. Was that a bad idea? Yes, but it's common for a lot of people. And it should also give you a better idea of why she was such a trainwreck.

or maybe it was the crack and heroin... maybe.

I was diagnosed with bi-polar and have not been on medication in over a year, and I am just fine.

Maybe that is a small percentage of her problem, but not a significant one... at least not compared to the use of crack.

Very sad indeed, but as others have said, unfortunately it hasn't surprised me.

She was a real talent, her music did nothing for me personally but you have to respect the ability she had.

I have nothing to say on her lifestyle, except for different people react to different problems in different ways, we aren't in a position to pass judgement.

Anyway, r.i.p

Agree,
At first I thought "what?!' then realised, I shouldn't be surprised, which is very sad,

Congratulations on beating it, then. Other people don't have that luxury. I have seen two friends spiral out of control because of their bipolar disorders. You mean to tell me this still would have happened if she wasn't bipolar? Or at least took some meds?

Well, if you have a mental illness like say Schizophrenia, and you take 10 hits of acid... is this not going to have more of an impact on your illness?

Bi-Polar is one thing, and can be controlled with the medications... which she was not taking. Sure that plays a part in where she was and why she was a trainwreck in some cases. But you start adding chemicals like crack or meth into the equasion and these drugs will do more harm than good.

I am not saying that it does not play a part... but look at the bigger picture.

I wasn't making excuses for her or anything. I also didn't mean it to sound as if that was the root cause for her issues. I was just saying exactly what you just said...it played a part.
