Word.

You can see it in his eyes. This **** ain't no publicity stunt.

Let the man heal. Mental illness is no joke.

Look at Robin Williams.
Money and fame don't mean **** when you're internally unhappy.

Give the guy some damn slack damn, hasn't even been 10 minutes and dudes are already kicking him again while he's down.

Do any of you ever get tired of hating? Foreals. Do you? Or do you enjoy it too much to stop?
 
Illest always been cool in my book. I hope he gets the clarity he's seeking if this is truly a case where he's battling some Hollywood demons. I can't even imagine what that life must be like. Don't want to imagine it either.

But I will say this. I can't knock anyone that is a bit skeptical about dude's motives. Making an "I'm done" video does seem a bit opportunistic in the sense that he can come back and say "I decided not to let the nay-sayers stop me from living my dream". I truly hope this isn't a ploy like that, because I'd lose all respect for dude.
 
If you really look though that's how bi-polar/depression works, unpredictably, no control over your emotion.

I remember when this guy was a jit and he was trying to get in shape and do P90x. He had a fallout on his diet and dude was crying, so it's something he's had for a while.
 
What is it about moving to LA, and being on the scene that makes cats lose it? You hear **** like this all the times.

Really curious. Only been to LaLa land one time when I was like 12. Dudes move there and always talk about how they get "caught up in the lifestyle". Is that code word for something? You don't hear about people moving to other places and losing it.

I wonder what the cabbie is thinking with this dude video blogging the whole trip. :lol: 

Internet has made everyone a bully and everyone soft.

Take a step back and realize this really ain't ****.

I don't know what you meant by this but based on observation I see forced alphas and punks...But the Bay Area isn't a good indicator of the rest of the world...

Everyone is trying to out-stunt everyone. You see someone who is basically a nobody pushing a nice whip. If you're in the entertainment industry it's even worse. It's all about appearance and people are fighting for the last crumb on the plate. These vibes wear you down. People snap.

only soft dudes. LA is dope, but like NYC, it aint for everybody. I've had nothing but fun and good vibes in LA/Hollywood. People that always cry where ever they go that the place is wack and everybody is fake...there's usually something wrong with them, that keeps them from being accepted and keeps the real peeps at a distance.
 
living in the public eye, or youtube eye can only do you good for so long....dudes get forgotten by the next week.

I don't follow dude like that...I only know him through some of the stuff he posts here on NT, but if what you're saying is true (crying etc.), then were were the folks in his inner-circle to help?

I just think it's weird to have all of this play out in the public eye.
 
It sucks that being soft and having mental illnesses are always grouped together.

There's a difference between being weak and being mentally sick.

If someone is crossing the Boston Marathon finish line, gets bombed, and loses physical feeling in their legs and isn't able to walk anymore, we automatically sympathize for them. But if someone is mentally ill and unable to control their emotions, has unpredictable behavior, lashes out and goes through extreme highs and lows without even consciously knowing he is, we call them soft.

Sickness is sickness. Somethings we can help and tame, some things we can't.

These bipolar issues don't get enough respect from the general public. **** is REAL.

I really believe that people sympathize for those who are battling mental illnesses. Fousey, probably does fall into that category. A lot of things started adding up to me (regarding him) after reading that he's bi-polar. However, as a blinkin a blinkin stated:

There's a part of me, and probably others, who just can't give him the full benefit of the doubt based off of some of the things he's done. I sincerely hope it's not a ploy or something done for clicks/attention. If it's not one of those, he really should seek help and I hope that his inner-circle is giving him the support that he needs.
 
Yeah understood, and well said.

If that indeed is the case and he does make a quick comeback video and profits off of it, I will be very disappointed myself.

I can only hope he's being genuine when he says he's seeking help in the form of love, and wants to be better.

If we find out a month from now that this really was a YouTube ploy, it would be very unfortunate because I take mental sickness issues really serious and I don't view it as something that should be used to profit. I'd lose a lot of respect for him if that ends up being the case.

I'm just trying to be positive and have faith that he was being genuine. If the pain I saw in his eyes in that video is bs then he's one hell of an Academy Award Winning type actor. Because that **** came of hella real to me.
