Page Six reports that Demi spoke to TMZ Live on Wednesday. According to the publication, Demi said:
"There’s times I’ve felt, like, feeling survivor’s guilt. You do ask yourself, ‘Why am I still here, why are others not?’ It’s challenging. I have to realise that every day is a day that someone else doesn’t get."
She added that having survived a drug overdose made her want to live the best life she can possibly have "knowing others didn’t get the chance".

"Since absolutely none of you read... Demi was asked about what she thought about the situation. She didn't just bring it up and make the comparison on her own. IDK why the hell they're even asking this girl about it, but okay."
