OHMYGOSSIP — Landon Barker has revealed he “abused” alcohol while battling with his mental health last year.
The 20-year-old son of Travis Barker and his ex-wife Shanna Moakler has detailed his battle with the psychological disorder depersonalisation-derealisation, whereby one feels disconnected or detached from oneself, and how he turned to drink and felt like he was watching his life play out in a movie.
He told People: “It originally started with a bad habit with alcohol.
“I was abusing it and just abusing that substance.
“It was awful, and I went through heightened OCD, heightened ADHD and heightened anxiety, all while disassociating and feeling like I was in a video game.
“I was watching my whole entire life through a movie screen. It was honestly awful.”
Landon first spoke about his derealisation in an Instagram post last year.
The musician – who is dating TikTok star Charli D’Amelio – admitted in the caption: “My derealization has been really bad and I just wanna come on here and tell everyone your not alone and we are all imperfect in our own ways.
“I love you guys. #mentalhealthawareness. (sic)”
Landon shared a graphic detailing the symptoms of OCD.
It read: ”Things don’t feel real. Your face looks weird in the mirror. Feeling detached from reality. Feeling disconnected from your body. Things feel like they’re moving in slow motion.”
