“I was walking around my neighborhood in Los Angeles and I suddenly got so tired,” she told People in 2017.

“It kept spreading and coming back,” she added.

“I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, and then it would. And then I’d wait for another shoe to drop, and it would. I was frustrated and enraged. I couldn’t control any of this. I couldn’t fix it.”
