She was hospitalized in 2018 after a nearly fatal overdose, and months later she and the rest of the world learned of Mac Miller’s untimely death due to comparable circumstances. It all caught up with her. In her conversation with Zane Lowe, Lovato admitted that she experiences “survivor’s guilt” because she is still alive whereas Miller passed away.

I had a lot of survivor’s guilt after my overdose, because right after that Mac Miller died, and it just put everything into perspective for me of, ‘That could have been you, that almost was you, and how are you going to live your life now?’ And it affected me a lot. I’ve lost friends that were around my age, and those hurt so deeply because we’ve been in the trenches together.
