Instead of using his time in jail to rehabilitate and stay in shape. Chris Brown had been struggling to get himself together and it's only getting worse.
An insider told HollywoodLife.com that the famous singer has been having mood swings and panic attacks and using junk food to cope with his anxiety in prison.
With Chris Brown being jail for about a month and a half, his bipolar disorder is more of struggle than it's ever been. The soon the be 25-year-old has had to deal with extreme mood swings and panic attacks, while trying to use non-nutritious food to calm him down, a source told HollywoodLife.
By the looks of some recent photos its quite evident that the "Fine China" singer has put on a little bit of weight.
"Chris has not been given any special treatment whatsoever while he's behind bars," an insider told HollywoodLife. "He's been having a very difficult time having mood swings, pacing a lot, and sometimes panic attacks. The only way to soothe his nerves is to overeat, and the food in jail has very little nutritional value."
The living conditions and not to mention the crappy food served in jail, have made Chris' mental issues worse.
"His mom has been buying him food online, like gift packages, not like it's a gift, but at least it's somewhat edible. The packages include items like, Ramen noodles, donuts, Oreo cookies, sliced pepperoni, sardines, pork cracklings and root beer barrels. His diet basically consists of sugar, salt and processed food, and none of this is of any health to his physical and mental health. It's been a struggle by the minute," the source added.
And to make matters worse, it's recently been confirmed that Chris Brown will spend his May 5th birthday behind bars as well.
Judge James Brandlin ruled on May 1 that Chris will remain in jail until at least May 9.
