  • "I can’t walk anymore & get 30 seizures a day," FaZe Rain said

  • He apologized for his recent behavior

YouTuber FaZe Rain recently revealed he can’t walk anymore following drug abuse.

Rain took to Twitter on Saturday to urge his followers to not abuse prescription drugs like "benzos and opioids."

"Please quit the benzos and opioids. I’m posting this because I have severe nerve damage. All I know now is pain. I can’t walk anymore & get 30 seizures a day. If I knew this was possible, Id never have been a fuckboy w drugs. Learn from me. You don’t want this! I can’t handle it," he tweeted.

He was involved in several controversies recently due to his outbursts on social media.

In July last year, he opened up about dealing with mental illness.

"I really wish making money would helo me get over the feelings I've had my whole life, but it hasn't. Maybe it will for you, but it didn't for me. Money fixed some problems. It's not about that. Of course everyone could use extra money and, like, help people in their lives and everything, but it's not the cure for me. It’s not going to get rid of my anxiety, get rid of my depression - it's not going to do that," he said.

Three months later, he tweeted that he doesn’t want to live anymore.

"F—k Everyone. When I tell people I don’t want to be alive anymore, everyone and their mother just tells me the opposite. Well what if I don’t want to?" he tweeted.

"I don’t need help, I’m not crazy I just bounce back and forth with wanting to die, and being okay with waiting until my time comes. I just don’t want a part of this anymore, and when I say that I’m automatically... crazy," he tweeted.

This July, the 24-year-old gamer live streamed himself showing off different types on drugs. At one point, he drowned several pills at the same time. This left several of his fans worried.

On Sunday, he put out another tweet apologizing for his recent behavior.

"I can’t ever let my life get back to that. I was just obsessed with suicide and wanted the pills to take me. I have such a different perspective on life & drugs after losing my legs. Feels like it’s spreading. I’m so sorry you guys had to deal w a different me," he tweeted.
