When exactly did the “worst day” happen? (I recall it and even checked the OP to see if it was mentioned there, but it’s not. I’m just trying to place it in the overall time line.)
It goes from being a bad
day, to a bad
month, and then all the way down to just a bad
minute. You can find my breakdown of the timeline and Nick's subsequent additions/revisions
here with more detail and clips. A brief summary:
May 30th 2022: Nick says that something happened but "everything is fine".
June 10th, 2022: Things are worse, but Nick appreciates Kayla's support.
June 13th, 2022: Nick reveals that he is going through the most trying time of his life. It involves friends, family, extended family, and God and give a timeline that places his woes around Memorial Day weekend (when something happened, but everything was fine).
July 4th, 2022: The new worst day is now July 2nd (or 3rd) since the recording was done late on July 4th and Nick's idea of yesterday may be relative. Nick says that he is "struggling y'all" and no walk is perfect. The last month has "the hardest days of all of it" (whatever "it" is).
October 12th, 2023: Nick gets a superchat about suicide and Nick responds by saying that he doesn't understand it. Though he never considered harming himself, Nick thought to himself that he would be okay with dying for a "transient minute". Then he was like "whooooah" because it was so "fucking dark". Then he was "baffled" that people have to deal with this all the time. The whole thing seems to undermine what he was going though in the summer of 2022, but Nick is also trying to show off how grounded and wise he is.
For all Nick's talking about his suffering in front of his audience, he was very guarded about specifics the whole time. That said, Nick definitely relaxed in other areas like asking Mandy (aka Daniel) to come to Anime Matsuri (
where Nick and Kayla would have MDMA fueled sex) so he could sign Mandy's tits.
Needless to say, Nick responds poorly to stress and his solutions tend to only create more problems. A source for security for Nick during that time was his professional success counter-balancing his personal struggle(s).
Nick is now losing on all fronts and is trying to do anything to numb the pain by abusing substances and distracting himself with coom while he avoids streaming to a dwindling audience and a few ex-fans and loses his credibility with other streamers (a new stressor).
I hope interested parties find this useful.
