 It's no secret that Bobby Burns has been on this downward spiral ever since he moved to Los Angeles and there's a lot, a lot that has to do with mental health and this is actually some things that might be able to help you or someone that you know. What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel, my channel is all about mental health. So what I like to do is pull topics from the YouTube community and try to teach you valuable lessons to help you improve your mental and emotional well-being. So if you're into that kind of stuff, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. So yeah, I am going to be talking about Bobby Burns in Los Angeles but my videos aren't for Bobby Burns. My videos are for YouTubers. I try to take the content that you're already consuming and try to see if there might be something that you can relate to and then we talk and have some suggestions and see if there's something that is affecting you as well because the chances of Bobby Burns seeing my video are slim to none the chances that you're gonna see my video are 100% because you're actually watching it right now. So I hope there's some lessons that you can learn from this video. This is something where I'll be showing my own personal experiences as well as experiences I've seen with a lot of other people. So this has to do not only with the places you are but also the people that you're hanging out with alright. So those of you who don't follow Bobby Burns or Shane Dawson just a little bit of a backstory. Bobby Burns has been a creator on the platform for I think he said like 10 years something like that and he made a video hating on Shane Dawson and Shane Dawson ended up seeing it and making like a three part mini series back before he made like his eight part series and he made a little mini series about confronting his hater and him and Bobby you know met up and they talked and then you know Bobby went back home to Nashville Tennessee. So shortly after that Shane and Bobby talked and Bobby wanted to move out to Los Angeles and work with Shane and get something going. By the way this is really funny because Memology 101 is another channel here on YouTube and like I don't know I don't know what our relationship is I like the guy he does a lot of in-depth research but anyways if you want to see the rise and fall of Bobby Burns just go watch the Memology video I will link it down in the description below but it shows the entire journey and just I remember watching it the other night and I was just like oh my god oh my god so just to give you guys a point of reference this is Bobby before moving to Los Angeles. Now here like helping make some of it and it's like I'm enjoying myself it's fun oh wow it's about boobs and butts I follow so many twerking pages on Instagram what I love twerking I love moody that's great why the f*** am I being so judgmental of that it's just someone making content that people happen to like. So when it comes to the case of Bobby Burns like there was there was a long time there was a long time when I'm like I got a lot of empathy I could definitely relate I'm like okay you know he's trying to find his you know the right creative outlet especially after what happened with Shane Dawson series and you know he wants to be more creative and even though I wasn't a fan of his music I'm like okay man do you like whatever like I just I'm a huge huge huge person about like just find something that you love doing and do it you know what I mean like I said even though his music isn't for me like it's for other people and if he loves doing it do that but the issue is is that it's completely changed him so what I want to talk about is if those of you who have followed my channel for a while you probably saw the video I did about Garrett Watts and a geographical so I will link that up in the info card but anyways the geographical is when you leave like your city or state because you have a bunch of problems right your mental health it's terrible your relationships all this stuff and you think that moving to another city or moving to another place or even as another side of town or sometimes it's even moving a job it's gonna help right but the problem is no matter where you go there you are so in this video we're gonna be talking about something I like to call a reverse geographical where Bobby needs to get the hell up out of Los Angeles all right so yeah something that I do is I watch people and I see how they are improving or kind of like falling down a slippery slope it's something I've had to do working in addiction treatment and you know a lot of people have mental health issues and all of that and I have to watch them and see how they're doing see how they how they're progressing and I am here in Las Vegas and something that I would do because we would get a lot of clients from out of state right a ton of clients from out of state something I would always tell people is listen very carefully okay if there is even a 1% chance that going back home is gonna lead to a relapse you shouldn't go back home and Las Vegas has a ton of amazing resources for staying sober and that sounds ridiculous but it's true so I would tell people like you know stay in Las Vegas there's a bunch of resources I'll help you find a sober living but I had some people who would come out here and stay in Las Vegas and this city would just eat them alive right they would just keep relapsing to get kicked out of sober living I've had people living on the streets that I've run into at the grocery store down my house I'm like what the heck is happening right and there's a certain point where I have to tell them like yo you cannot handle Las Vegas you need to get out of here right and sometimes that's not even going back home but sometimes it's just this city is not for you then that's kind of what I'm seeing with Bobby Burns he he cannot handle Los Angeles and this isn't a knock at Bobby Burns but it kind of is it's more tough love like this is for a lot of you like Bobby Burns is young he's in his like mid-20s I believe some of you are younger than that like sometimes we're just not mature enough to have that type of freedom you know like for me personally I'm an addict in recovery and Las Vegas was eating me alive I had to get out of here I had to get out of Las Vegas but eventually I moved back here right but I would have had to be very careful and look for the signs if this city was going to take me back down again so I'm actually going to link another video up in the info card and probably in the end screen too so I have a second channel that's all about addiction so if you want to hear about how I stay sober in Las Vegas make sure you go check that out but like some of us just can't do it and some of us need to go somewhere else so like I find people I'm like okay look you can't handle Las Vegas okay going back home is a bad idea because you have a toxic family or whatever it is um well here how about this other place right maybe like Oregon or the east coast or whatever it is but in Bobby's situation like man like I'm seeing this from him and I'm like is his family worried about him like are his friends worried about him Jordan was worried about him they're no longer together and I'm just watching this kind of downward spiral and it's like he just can't handle Los Angeles maybe he needs to take this venture somewhere else and that's the thing like a lot of people want to go live that life and they want to succeed because LA and all this other stuff and like some people just can't handle it but this kind of brings me to my second topic okay we need to change the people that were around something that Tristan and I were actually talking about that I've noticed and she's noticed too is Bobby has lost like his support group like I remember watching Bobby right around the Shane Dawson time and he had his girlfriend Jordan right when he went out to meet Shane Dawson he had his brother there and him and his brother like they did a lot of projects together you know and Bobby has other siblings but when he was back in Tennessee he had a lot of friends and they would do stuff together and make videos together and all of that and when he first moved to Los Angeles he was like getting all his friends involved and everything and it was like okay cool like Bobby's trying to take his success and give it to some of his friends and all of this right and like over the past few months as we've seen Bobby kind of you know start slipping where is everybody right we haven't seen his brother at all Jordan's gone we haven't seen any of his friends that he was making all those collabs with so what's happening and uh you know in Bobby's situation speculation but I can tell you from my personal experience right I I made a video the last time about Bobby Burns and said stop enabling him right well I had a bunch of people who would enable me and they would tell me things that I didn't want to hear they were trying to keep me accountable they were trying to get me on the right track I didn't want to hear from them so what I did was I found a different group of friends who didn't give a crap about me and just let me run wild and do whatever I wanted to do and that's something I'm worried that you might be doing that's something I'm worried that Bobby might be doing right because you don't see those other people like the rocks in Bobby's life around anymore and he's going further and further further off and it breaks my heart too because I actually have experience with my best friend dying because of something similar like this I made a video a long time ago about losing my best friend to addiction and even though I was still in my active addiction like um I don't know I knew that she had a problem and she got into a a car accident and it almost killed her and I was worried about her and all that stuff and I had to like start like getting real with her I'm like girl you got to get your stuff together you got to get your stuff together then my best my other best friend like she had to tell Courtney too like you got to get your stuff together and we both had to distance ourselves away from her and many other people had to distance ourselves away from Courtney but all Courtney did was find people who would enable her behaviors and at 24 years old she passed away right and that's something that I held a lot of guilt over you know even still to this day but like the guilt is is different I've learned to you know heal and forgive myself and stuff like that but one of the worst parts about mental illness and stuff is like you can't force anybody to change right and sometimes it's something I've taught you guys about boundaries it's like sometimes you got to separate yourself from the other person just for your own mental stability so when I see Bobby and what he's doing I had a bunch of comments on the last one like thinking that I said like you can overdose on weed which I said that you can't and I've even made pro marijuana videos I don't know but anyways like you I'm worried that he's going down that path and he's hanging around people who just want to be around him because he smokes because he parties because he acts crazy and all those other things right and and that's worrisome especially for young people like like I said in my last video about Bobby Burns what breaks my heart what breaks my heart is every time a young person passes away every time anybody passes away where people see it coming from miles and miles and miles away but other people are shocked by it right and that's where my concern is about Bobby Burns but that's where my concern is about you and you might have friends who are doing this you might have friends who you've had to cut out of your life or they've stopped hanging out with you because they're hanging out with a bad crowd but anyways this is some stuff that I want you to really think about but anyways I have a couple other videos planned because there's some topics just about finances and relationships that I want to talk about with Bobby and Jordan because I know a lot of you can relate I had a bunch of those troubles too but anyways that's all I got for you with this video so let me know down in the comments below like have you had to get out of somewhere because the city was just bad for you have you had to leave like let me know down in the comments below all right or or here's a second one here's a different question so I answer this one if you would like maybe both like have you purposely hung out with people who enable you because the other friends would tell you what you needed to hear not what you want to be here right they give you that tough love so let me know down in the comments down below let's have a conversation okay but anyways that's all I got for you with this video if you like this video please give it a thumbs up if you're new make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell and a huge thank you to everybody supporting the channel over on Patreon you are all amazing and I have linked the other video over on my other channel about how I stay sober in Las Vegas a city that is designed to kill me so go and check it out right now all right thanks again
