guys think that lucy let be um was killing literally killing children for attention
00:00:05.360
i think that's disgusting like it's something that the bigger picture is like it's something
00:00:11.580
that should never have been swept underneath the rug like fair enough doctors do kill people by
00:00:17.020
accident sometimes by giving them wrong medication or you know diagnosing them or something but
00:00:21.560
realistically like why would you not want to take somebody else's health so much more seriously
00:00:28.720
and sweep that underneath the rug so seven's just too much how did that's what i was gonna say how
00:00:33.940
did that go on for so long for so long i think because she was a woman no i don't think it is
00:00:39.580
sweet and innocent i just think it's the it's the eyes like she just looks so innocent and no i i
00:00:44.520
know she probably did more for the hospital as well but someone said she looked like my cousin
00:00:49.100
i was like god damn it guys can um can someone fill me in i don't watch the news oh there is um a woman
00:00:56.740
who her name was lucy let be and she got arrested for killing seven children um or babies yeah she
00:01:03.480
was a nurse all at the same time um no it was over the course of a couple years but they found out she
00:01:09.020
was dating a doctor like a married doctor and they they think she was killing the babies to get his
00:01:13.600
attention how um i she injected them with like something okay yeah it was like the wrong it's for
00:01:20.260
he's attention yeah because he would like he would he would like help her with them when they would go
00:01:25.700
down south or whatever oh yeah yeah no but i think social media has made us insane
00:01:33.380
yeah especially because we pay more attention to it yeah well i think it's like we're all just so
00:01:38.700
addicted to it and it's like when when the social media and i really think there's going to be women
00:01:43.720
with a lot of mental health issues in like 10 years because i think when the attention like
00:01:48.780
they're less attractive they get older and it's like when the attention starts to go i just think
00:01:53.200
a lot of women are going to go nuts i think that's how we see life though we see other people's lives
00:01:57.460
we see snippets of happiness and that's what we kind of chase and that's not how everyone's life is
00:02:02.660
yeah we've got to learn to live in the moment more and just spend days off for social media completely
00:02:07.600
and just appreciate what you have like your family your home you know the small things
00:02:12.060
i think everyone i think everyone needs therapy yeah that's true oh no i think that makes you
00:02:17.440
worse no i feel like i feel like i disagree with you i felt the best cause of action for this is
00:02:23.480
just a throwaway you found well i actually this actually this wouldn't help me personally but
00:02:31.860
sometimes i'm like you had a brick knocking right now you'll be so much now hear me out here
00:02:36.100
ban women exactly ban women off of social media it makes us too crazy i think the men can kind
00:02:42.040
handle it is this next t-shirt what is this the next t-shirt well you know i don't want to push
00:02:46.940
this one too much i make money off of it but i was like you know i think that might be a net good
00:02:52.600
but i was like we would find a way back on you can you can keep us off but okay therapy you think
00:02:58.480
it's a good thing um yes yes it's definitely changed my view on life okay why how um i've had a
00:03:07.500
i've had a really rough upbringing abusive background um dad used to beat me um my mom
00:03:13.160
was an alcoholic um and i had like six years of therapy and i always used to see my glasses like
00:03:20.500
half empty rather than half full so what did you see before like what was the difference between you
00:03:26.960
six years like it's hard to explain it but i used to see everything as black and white
00:03:31.700
like the world was just black and white and now it's sort of got its color back so now i can see
00:03:37.560
things in a positive light which is it was really difficult before and um you know like when you tell
00:03:45.360
people that they just don't get it until they experience it um which is like depression and just
00:03:50.860
sadness just general sadness um but i think therapy helped me understand why things happened
00:03:56.760
and how things happened so the why's and the who's so all the questions that i've got
00:04:02.840
over the six years of therapy really helped me understand who i am who my uh my my parents are
00:04:10.840
um why they did the things they did and why i am why i am and why i make decisions so there was
00:04:18.160
loads of questions answered which now helped me navigate moving forward in life just just day-to-day
00:04:26.220
things just i can now understand why everything is happening and i can change it actively if i want
00:04:33.900
to therapy literally saved my life yeah what were we saying i saved my life too what what was your
00:04:41.260
experience so um i went through about a depression um i just saw earlier this year bring the mic up um
00:04:48.220
um and yeah i made an attempt on my life and from there i went into therapy and um yeah changed the
00:04:58.000
way i see things changed the way i am yeah yeah yeah it's not a competition but i've made like six
00:05:03.440
attempts on my life yeah oh wow yeah so if it's competition you win so thank you i'll tell you i'll tell you
00:05:12.120
why i i don't believe in therapy yeah now i i think there's an individual have you had yeah and i
00:05:18.240
thought i was stupid how long did you do it for like a couple sessions and i was like it was stupid
00:05:23.020
exactly because you didn't give no no that's why let me let me let me let me explain why and then
00:05:28.280
you can you can rebuttal so if you look into the history of psychology it was started by some of these
00:05:33.840
big families um and i i really think it's just usually a way to make men more feminine
00:05:39.260
and and teach them how to communicate like women in general and i think you can see this because
00:05:44.080
90 of therapists are women and i actually went to school for psychology and those bitches are crazy
00:05:50.780
i'm like if these are the women that are telling everyone how to think oh my god now i do think
00:05:56.100
there's individual therapists that are good um usually men i don't think it's like i just think
00:06:00.520
women don't look to solve problems they look to they look to like hear you and listen to you
00:06:05.780
but not not necessarily solve problems so the therapists that i do think are good are typically
00:06:10.600
men not typically women which is only 10 percent of therapists so and usually what what i find is
00:06:18.380
that especially chicks will go to therapists for years and then learn all these like think everybody's
00:06:24.020
a narcissist think everyone's toxic in their life and i really think therapy has replaced what used to
00:06:29.780
be a strong family structure because you used to be able to go to like someone in your household
00:06:34.660
in order to like fix problems but the issue is we have such a fucked up like family structure right
00:06:40.040
now that people don't have families to go to and they go to a stranger instead and i think it would
00:06:45.680
be better if we could go to families instead of go outside of it okay but you do know like there's
00:06:51.920
different types of therapies like there's speak therapy there's music therapy like there's different
00:06:57.060
forms of that which could help i i think there's individual instant i think male therapists are decent
00:07:03.360
like i think i think i think i think some of my best therapists have been male yeah i just i just find
00:07:08.040
that women are most of like most therapists it's like 90 percent are women and i just don't think
00:07:13.440
women look to solve problems they just look to like listen which which is fine but i i just think
00:07:19.460
that it like you said like if you don't have that family correct unit yeah um who do you turn to
00:07:25.820
do you know what i mean but now i'm more open to speak to friends i'm more open to speak to i'm i can speak
00:07:31.600
strangers about how what i've been through yeah because you've spoke to a therapist um yeah it
00:07:37.720
helped me open up to to people and things but you see that's like a more feminine trait and that's why
00:07:43.600
i say i think therapy like typically makes men into women more feminine because because either that
00:07:48.640
will be dead you know i'm not saying it doesn't help in some instances so you know i'm not trying
00:07:54.720
to like knock yours no no no no no i'm fine but i've just i've just found that like i think that
00:08:00.020
therapy tells men to emote like women because typically like women are the ones that need to
00:08:05.620
talk about their problems to feel better yeah where men don't you know they'll like fight it out or like
00:08:11.240
you know just in general right you think that that's good i i think that making someone into
00:08:16.960
something they're not as bad and i think making men into women is bad and we've always been told that
00:08:21.640
the feminine way to do things is good okay so i'd like to add um typically i would say instead of
00:08:28.960
therapy what people should seek out is mentorship so you want someone that would teach you how to
00:08:34.460
attack problems in life and how to build on positive steps each day so the reason why a lot of people
00:08:41.380
fall into depression is usually for a few reasons one things are not going right in their life or they
00:08:47.460
don't have direction that is usually the reason why people fall into depression so if you have
00:08:51.420
someone that can show you steps okay you know what today go to the gym even when you don't feel
00:08:55.500
like going to the gym still do it they push you you go over time you tend to build up small wins and
00:09:01.900
then with each small win you build up character yeah so this is the thing a lot of men these days fall
00:09:07.980
into the trap of going to therapy when you should actually be seeking mentors because as men we get
00:09:15.280
our source of strength and our source of motivation from actually um building things making um little
00:09:23.380
successes here and there so you can't just sit in a room and be talking about your feelings and expect
00:09:27.980
that i mean it could help it could work for some people yeah a lot of people it doesn't actually work
00:09:32.440
yeah i think it's better for people if not just even men both men and women to focus on
00:09:37.980
doing things day by day and getting small wins and that way you can come out of anything
