- Connor Murphy once had a reputation as an extroverted, disciplined, go-getter who’s athleticism easily rivalled other top tier fitness influencers. At his peak he was being discussed by Ethan and Hila Klein from H3H3 Productions and the H3 Podcast, however, as the years rolled by and Connor Murphy’s channel faded into irrelevance, his mental state would sadly decline alongside it. This video will cover that tragic transformation, from an influencer with over 2 million subscribers to a man who lost his mind.
This is, The Fitness CZcamsr Who Went Clinically Insane.
Thank you guys for watching, like and sub if you enjoyed, SunnyV2 XO ❤ - Zábava
His “friends” exploiting and putting this man out on the internet while he’s clearly struggling is not being addressed enough.
Yesss. Disturbing asf, but anything for clout nowadays
@@byunniq9060 yep I’ve got no simpathy for the man at all…what he did to women was sick and not something that people should do for clicks,it’s the most douche bag thing I can ever imagine doing and for people trying to use the internet for clout or to influence someone??? His family are the worst for actually letting someone stream his bullshit
he went to LA, what do you honestly expect?? its a fucking poison pit of the most degenerate souls there is. literally the hell of earth for sad empty money striving content creators, and when life fails people want to become influencers and actors...
@@lukehanlon3814 it’s not that deep😂 I thought it’s clear they were paid actors
yes i agree, but it wouldnt have gottan attenion and he wouldnt have gottan help if it hadnt gone public
What’s truly sad about this is how people that called themselves his “friends” took advantage of his severe mental health crisis pretending to help just to secretly film him, berate him, and use his downfall for content. What a fake world that content creation is, people idolize that job, id never want it.
I found it quite hard to watch tbh, I can’t imagine treating any of my friends this way
Agreed, 💔 i hope he gets better soon and if I were him I'd be more careful in the future choosing friends.
Same as Tim (Avicii), He's friends & manager didn't care for him at all and was only after the money & "internet fame".
It's so sad people can this, mindblowing but people do everything for little internet cloud/fame.
I thought the same damn thing! 🤬Like who tf claims to "care" about someone and to be their "friend" but films it and puts them on blast for the entire world to see then fake cries on camera.. stfu 🤦🏻♀️
i think people want to just sitt and game and get money for it that type of content stuff but don't realize how much stress having people watching your every move is
I genuinely feel bad for him. No one should go through addiction or mental health issues and have terrible friends.
Welp happens a lot. Ppl just laugh at you, that’s the real world. Then when they go on a killing rampage they wonder why no one was empathetic towards them.
This is not addiction, this is something extremely serious where he is taking it because it makes him smarter but in turn makes him inable to communicate
@@cobalt7781 I hate to break this to you but exercise is absolutely an addiction in his case
what about his friends seem terrible to you? it seems like they reached out and tried to help him on multiple occassions
@@williamowens2063 This was my initial thought reading this comment, but filming the dudes trashed house then a private phone call where he's speaking nonsense is a little messed up
"We called every day... or rather, he called me every day" is saying enough about how good a friend and person this guy is.
Man that part was messed up! I thought I was the only one who caught that, he said it so normal too, you can tell that’s not a friend at all.
There’s privacy laws in psych wards that prevent someone calling in without the patients permission. That could’ve been the situation
@@ScourgeGhost13 no reason to correct the statement "we called every day"
A lot of people don't realize that serious mental health issues can suddenly trigger in your early 20s even after a childhood of no noticeable symptoms. This poor guy had to have it documented online forever...
Drugs play a huge role. If you have family history with mental illnesses especially with psychosis stay away from weed, psychedelics & drugs. You are vulnerable & it can be just be what tips you over. Seen this alot when I was working in a ER as a RN. I hate how I regularly see shrooms being promoted on Insta & Tiktok as tools for enlightenment while for some ppl it can change the chemistry of their brains forever.
@@beewest5704 even weed. Too many people think its all innocent..
@@mentos93 My bestfri3nd was in her 4th year studying to be a doctor she smoked weed to help her relax & it triggered a ful metal break. We will never know if it was maybe laced with something. She never had any signs but her moms brother was schizo. She is still in & out of mental hospitals & now not able to look after herself.
Yes, some mental disorders almost always present during that stage - such as schizophrenia. I know of someone who was completely "normal" up until about age 21. After that point, he was never the same - seemingly for absolutely no reason at all. He was eventually diagnosed with schizophrenia. Now, at nearly 50, he is a stereotypical homeless man who talks to himself while standing outside of a Dollar General. He's never been compliant with meds, so no one can help him for any extended period.
It wasn’t him. It was the Ayhousca! He was taking the most mind bending drug every 2 hours! That’s what did it
Didn’t follow the drama? Not on the internet much? Don’t worry, in around 15 minutes you’ll be caught up. This is a rare talent. He can make a 15 minute video feel like a full, comprehensive documentary and it’s awesome!
Truthczcams.com/video/qtnCzGYQMGM/video.html 🤣
@YeaMan bro at least spell page correctly 💀💀💀
Seriously!
Not talent hard work
I think its because the music lol
Connor revealing his address so that he can be sent into a phych ward is definitely a move that you could do should you finally regain control of you mind. Connor seems to be getting better, let's hope it stays that way.
If you've never watched a close friend or family deteriorate like that consider yourself blessed. It is hard to watch unfold over the months weeks and sometimes days the delusions get wilder and wilder they stop bathing, incoherent speaking etc... One day they are normal and the next they have that thousand yard stare never to return as their old self
This is honestly sad and scary to see his mental state decline so rapidly. I’m glad that he got the help that he needed and his fans are congratulating him on changing, it’s a huge step in the right direction
his divine protein shakes are fire tho
Yup, kinda wished other youtubers that got into drama got some help too and went in the right direction.
Never go full Jim Carrey
It can go real fast and happen to anyone at any time, it's a combination of near infinite factors from life experiences to your environment, small things we often dismiss as non consequential that slowly accumulate until they overwhelm you. I for one was perfectly fine in January 2017 but started to have suicidal thoughts for seemingly no reason in April of the same year, went to see a psychiatrist in June and sent to a mental institution in October. I was diagnosed with clinical depression with self harm tendencies, I'm still taking meds and seeing my psychiatrist to this day, trying to live in a normal life and all you know.
As my dad said. Some eggs were made crack. And boil. Poor bastard
Glad I wasn’t the only one that felt weird that his “friends” were making videos about him. No caring person will record their friend in a manic episode and post it online for millions to see! I’d be embarrassed if my friends did that shit to me…
They're not real friends.
In my case I helped my friends to start making money independently, about $2k/week on their own. Be a real friend
Yep. It made me angry watching them use him attention. Posting videos of the state of his house, his video calls etc
They're "LA friends" people in SoCal are like this.
@@xPorsum that's so sad :(
Influencer eat influencer.
I hope he’s okay now. That’s my fear of literally going insane and losing my mind. It’s terrifying and I hope I never go through that.
90% is already mad but its not obvious because almost everybody is batshit crazy
I’ve went crazy before
@@vixenturnedpedestrian750 hey, can you please PLEASE share your experience?
I suffered psychosis for a month from withdrawals of alcohol. Not fun at all, I went from feeling like I found the answer to all of lifes questions to complete dysphoria, confusion and being convinced I was already dead in mere minutes and I would switch between laughter and crying. Still when I went to a psych ward nobody took me seriously, they said they needed the space for someone who was "actually" sick. Even after my own therapist told them to take me since I was clearly going through a psychotic break. Thankfully, I made it out alive and well
seeing this is actually scary. ive seen my mom spiral into insanity due to her past diagnosis of schizophrenia and paranoia to the point where we've had to admit her to a mental facility. its really terrifying like that person doesn't feel like the same individual u knew before i hope no one ever goes through this or see someone go through it
Influencer friends are either awesome for $ or the worst people ever, airing your dirty laundry. In this case literally
My heart breaks for him. The part where his "friend" admits he never called him while in the psych ward but Connor was the one reaching out. They mined him for online content without helping him
This video didn't address his fake friends enough for me
You can’t reach someone while
They are in a psych ward lol
@@sammymobs3889 ive had multiple friends in psych wards and been able to contact them but they were in for a different reason than connor so idk
@@sammymobs3889 mental asylum is not a prison in most cases.
True
It’s crazy.. idk what I would’ve done if none of my friends had called me during my stay at the mental hospital (10 days)
I love his “friends” exposing and humiliating him on the internet instead of privately helping him. Those friends are gross.
@@PerjantaiPrkL Hurt your friends for clout 💪Come on, it's 2022. If you're not on that grind, you're wasting time
‘you’re a lot smaller than me’ he was always jealous and always wanted to say that. but idgaf about this connor guy because he was using minors and exploiting them, probably abused some. disgusting
@@Walrus101 bro 💀
@@Rxinzbowz Bro?
@@Zzz2x Who?
Ik that feeling of your mental health just going down and you start feeling like your mind is going crazy but I’m glad to see he’s doing better, I just hope he stays that way
This story is so incredibly sad, glad he is improving. He seem like a genuinely nice person.
I love how his "frends" are publically exposing him online because that's exactly what you need in your darkest hour, people telling the world your personal issues so they can get some clout/attention and framing it all to seem like they care. Parasitic fame hungry narcissists is what they are.
Could not agree more. Scum of the earth these people.
Social media in a nutshell
The truth is he at one point was probably above his “friends “in success and they were silently, secretively jealous. When that happens people like to trash you and say terrible things about you especially when your life falls apart because that’s the only way they can then feel better about themselves. It’s really pathetic how weak and insecure people really are in the face of someone else’s success and only through their downfall will they be happy. He’ll bounce back but not with any of those people, losers!
To be fair, he didnt turn out all too great him self, glad he is recovering though..
@@thirstonhowellthebirdandfriend Or maybe it was just critique of his substance abuse and insanity, no one before seemed to hate him, not before he went total cocoo..
It’s really sad that his CZcams “friends” didn’t have his best interest in mind. They low key recorded him for views. I hope the man gets the help he needs! 💯✊🏻
@@sn3akydna314 how is he bashing other people. He’s literally just making documents about CZcamsrs
@@sn3akydna314 They're literally documentaries over youtubers without much bias, if any, found in them.
I wouldn't call that "embarrassing", more informative if anything. It's not like he's insulting them every other sentence or something??
@@sn3akydna314 i agree with you even though people will say its just reality and the person he's talking about's progression but he literally makes money on letting a wider range of people know peoples downfalls which can be interpreted in many ways. The people he makes the video about can bounce back and use these videos to show the public perception before they changed, but this channel does seem to be about one type of content so you can't be overly mad but i cant run a channel like this personally i don't even care about other people life's like that and i can't get over the owner of this channel being paid for these videos to me it's very strange, i mean if he contacts these people before he makes these videos even then i still don't know what to feel. imagine being Connor after his yt friends blasted him and then waking up to a video from someone he doesn't even know.
I'm not watching this Video, I don't participate in Destroying People (unless they work for the government or personally come at me), I hope this Video is in good spirits, has his back and blasting those that blasted him and set some sort of record straight... I know this is a Sick World and you are all Mostly Sick! As a Pseudo Male Hermaphrodite with Sewn Up Ambiguous Genitals, I know you are all awful and evil people, I get to see all your true colors, and you are all Ugly on the Inside, you are all Insane! The Fact that you people each and everyone of you, Don't understand how Evil, Awful and Insane you are disturbs me, your average IQ is 98, and the World is already too complicated for you, "Mental Health?" How often is that Chemical Health or Pathogens Swelling the Brain! God Save US from you, and put my kind back as the Priest Class and Administrators, because we'll sort this Sad World Out! For not just our Brain's are Bigger, but our Hearts too, and our Souls, we are more than you, but currently ruled by our insane lessers.. look at you, entertained by someone's Fall... But such things pain me to my Core! I'd say I don't understand, but I do! You Petty Homosapiens!
@@sn3akydna314 I think a better word would be exposing. It's hot content rn showing the negative impact of internet fame and losing it etc.
There's quite a bit of videos I watch from you where the endings are crashed reputations but it's good to see that this guy is improving
Hopefully he's doing well and honestly I hope he dumped those so called "friends" who were literally exploiting him for internet clout.
The fact that his “friends” used his downward spiral for views instead of actually trying to help is sickening. If my friend was in that bad of shape and called me with that zoom call shit saying he wanted us to come back, I wouldve gone back and taken him to a rehab, or get ahold of someone more capable of making that happen. Shit friends that let their friends mental state decline to the point of suicide and then cry about it on social media are the worst type of people period.
no fr when they ended the call and everyone just goes “OMG” whilst recording, that’s the most disgusting thing, guess there are downsides to having other well known friends
@@queenkys0122 that was the exact moment that made me write this comment. Absolutely sickening!
Who needs enemies with those friends?
My wife's got a dick 😣 she hid it in her armpit from me for 5 years 😖 Why?! Why why why?!!! Why would she do this to me. Seriously!? Now I have to get divorced man 😔 If anyone has been through something similar, please get back to me
He probably has a substance induced psychosis, so he needs to be in an psych ward.
2 things that didn't get mentioned nearly as much as needed:
- his "friends" basically milked him at his worst and admitted they didn't even try to help him, as shown with the guy who didn't call him once in the psych ward, and the other 2 who just saw him have a psychotic episode and told him they would go back, just to never actually do it
- the fact that this man posted his address online, and quickly someone called for help for him just shows how much he was apreciated by his community
This video is sensationalist garbage.
Conor was never really insane.
He talked at length about spirituality, nondualism, about metaphysics. He debated people, including Vegan Gains, Cosmic Skeptic, Matt Dillahunty and others. He was articulate in his beliefs. He called himself God from a pantheist perspective, but according to that everyone is God. This video conveniently does not show the substance of his beliefs.
He was unhinged, but he kept tabs on reality. His unhinged nature is hard to understand for normies. It's a state of childish wonder, a state that goes to the core of human experience that we repress and ignore via social bullshit. That wild, wild state. That beautiful boiling blood filled with whimsical excitement and ectasy. Euphoria.
And what is insanity really? To me, insanity is reductiveness. I see plenty of people being reductive without "acting insane". Someone who acts wild is not necessarily insane, but free. To me, your reductive ass is insanity, regardless of how much of an obedient boy or girl you are to the norms.
Conor, at the time when he was "insane", was one of the most unbridled and amazing people I ever saw in my entire life.
He indeed started being reckless but that was not the crux of his spiritual journey. And an ignoramus like the one who made this video who superficially skims stories and makes stupid edgy " documentaries " on them, while ignoring the heart, does not know that.
Yeah, his friends were trash. We've seen this with Etika, another great human being. Everyone abandoned him when he was just a raw human.
The psych wards I know of are basically outgoing calls only so that’s not weird. Plus we don’t know the full story, I’ve had friends have psychotic breaks and like at a certain point you just have to separate yourself from them. There’s nothing you can do and being together is potentially dangerous or incredibly draining at best. This guy was just calling his friend all the time to tell him he’s god and how enlightened he was, like how would you react in that situation. You have no idea how frustrating it can all be for the outsiders too unless you’ve been in it. I just had to separate myself until they were better because they thought I was in the FBI and after you spend hours trying to explain how you’re not it gets rough
@@monhi64 If someone's clealy having a mental breakdown you do something to help, not just run away.
@@jonescrusher1 I agree with you, Friend in need is friend indeed. At least you can meet his/her parents to explain the situation and go to a psychologist with him if you genuinely care about that person.
But practically speaking,
Mental instability is not a fever that's gonna disappear next day , it's gonna take years so you have to be patient + pt lose their social reputation and status so they become less beneficial (it's hard to get job, partner for pt) + if you respond once they approch you again without caring about time or place + they are unpredictable(they may do wrist cuts , may attack you ) so you always have to be careful about how you talk to them.
In short, they require high maintenance so it is obvious that they are left alone to suffer if they don't have family or very close friends.
Maybe he could only make calls and not receive them…..
Your content is addictive. Straight to the point.
It’s relieving to hear at the end that he’s coming back to normal life. Or at least taking steps to get there. I do hope things have turned out better.
It’s really sickening that his “friends” recorded his apartment as he was breaking down and losing grip. It’s amazing to see he’s doing better and I wish nothing but the best for him.

That clip where he's calling his friend while clearly experiencing a psychotic episode and asking them to come over, then they hang up and go "OH MY GOD" with the caption "we didn't go back" is honestly really sad. What the fuck kind of friends are these?
Yeah that was the saddest, weirdest thing ever. I was like surely I've missed something here, so kept rewatching, listening closer, even did a bit of googling but nah, these people are just the absolute fucking worst. These "friends" of his are fucking pathetic and revolting. I'm completely disgusted by their actions, although unfortunately, not particularly surprised. I swear, 99% of heavy social media users suffer from personality disorders. They're vapid, narcissistic, selfish, greedy, fake validation seeking attention whores.
No friend. No friend at all. Mentally crippled rattas
Yea that clip really pissed me off :(
Having dealt with something like this online where someone was leveraging suicide over me, I can get their point of view. If you are not equipped to deal with a manic episode like this, it's highly uncomfortable, especially if you have no clue what to do and fear you might be making it worse. What they should have done though is get in contact with someone to help with the situation, but not everyone is easily equipped to just "go back"
I wouldn't go back to a crazy person's house. Not knowing if he's gonna harm u or not.
Thank you! I used to watch this guy. Scary the direction that he went... Good to hear he didn't harm anyone. All these fake friends are disgusting narcissists doing anything for a view.
Sunny, you have the greatest channel for real, whenever I see someone interesting ect I instantly search *down fall of "insert name"* and you always have a video ready 🤣
This entire situation is so sad. I couldn’t imagine broadcasting my “friends” mental health issues to the world for views. He needs actual help, not people just trying to use his downfall for their benefit.
just keep your comments to yourself
no one wants to read them
Welcome in 2022 where people treat eachother like trash
@@runescaperzzz It's just a prank bro-
No one was trying to do any of that Jane conquest was not a “friend”she was practically a random bystander he hired for a prank video online when they met in person she realized his mental state and got him a mental health professional the only reason she made a video was because Connor had a picture with her in it claiming they were getting married and misinformed people on social media started attacking her calling her a whore and a gold digger so she had to make a video addressing the real situation and the two guys that he was calling about the world wide zoom call was just a couple of fans that he invited over to help clean his house for a couple days and then left when he started to threaten to kill them nor was Derek from more plates more dates it’s a mens health and fitness channel he’s never met him personally he makes a lot of reaction vids Connor gave him some content for a couple days that’s all. Patrick lyons and Brett maverick had nothing but love for connor in there videos but after he posted videos about being god and killing himself to achieve enlightenment they where basically trying to put out the fires connor made for his sake. My point being this is a very complicated situation and you can’t fully grasp it in 17 mins but by no means is his friends using him for clout that’s a completely misinformed assumption.
SUNNYV2 IS TRASH 🗑️ AND I MAKE BETTER CONTENT 🔥
Absolutely sickening behavior from his “friends.” He clearly needed help-not your camera in his face.
They tried their best. i watched most of the connor murphy content and the authorities couldnt do anything trust me his friends tried getting him help but you cant force someone to get help. connor kindly denied it and went upon his business
@@piinkraiin reacting to his behavior on camera and filming him without his knowledge isn’t help.
@@Shewas-kathybates yes it is
@@Shewas-kathybates exactly you don’t have to film it for everyone to see, then react to it??? Shady
They weren't helping him. They were making money off of his decline.
I've been through a manic episode and ended up in a psych ward before and it does feel as though you are trapped to being just a viewer as your cognitive function deteriorates; nothing makes sense & you cant think straight, and all the while you're questioning every little detail. Glad to see another victim of this make a recovery
It's really difficult to watch someone loose it like this.
The fact that we as viewers know what Connor's filthy apartment looks like and how much shit he's doing just goes to show that this guy needs better friends. Can you imagine your best friend bringing a camera into your house when you're at your worst in order to make a youtube video? WTF kind of fake world do these people live in?
I’m in a depressive episode and if my “friends” offered to help me clean only to video tape and post my depression mess I would feel so so betrayed..
I believe they call it "L.A."
None of them who filmed ever said they were his friends. They straight up said they met him recently and felt they should help.

@@hamishriches2004 you have no idea how depressed people act,dont you?
And then being around people who truly make you feel like nothing doesn’t help either.
As someone who is also mentally unstable, this is when you discover who your real friends are, cause after a mental break down you become useless and usually a burden to people to loved ones, and if they can't get anything from you they just ghost you.
If I accept the toast become muffin cake
I've gone through similar things. Shrooms made me think I was destined to figure out the secrets of the universe and spread them to people. Years later went through a mania and almost destroyed my life and everything around me. Thank god I wasn't a CZcamsr at those times.
I hope this man finds better people to surround him now that he is on the up swing mentally. Him seemingly coming back while having those people around him is probably the strongest thing he has done!

Drug induced psychosis needs to be waaaay more widely discussed
He took various hallucinogens and had the basic realizations everyone gets: "The universe and everything in it is one, you are God and God is us, etc." And those realizations are correct. nothing he said was wrong. However, not everyone can handle those kind of realizations and it can tear your mind apart. unfortunately he started ranting about it in public and the sheeple hospitalized him.
100%.
The problem is that the public healthy system can cause just as much trauma as it can treating people.
@@NicksterNOC he abused it, that was the problem. ayahuasca is not a toy, and abusing that every 2 hours is extremely bad for you.
@@NicksterNOC bro he was psychotic
@@datboyrains5657 You cannot take ayahuasca every 2 hours, clearly that is not true. Ayahuasca is dmt and maoi inhibitors taken orally, which will put you on your ass and out of reality for a good few hours, you simply cannot use it that much. Maybe he was smoking dmt every few hours, which is possible since you only be out for a few minutes, but still there was probably other drugs involved.
I know this has nothing to do with the video but, I really like your voice and all your videos are really easy to follow!! Keep it up, they’re amazing😄
Man this is so sad, I'm 24 now and I was a super meathead about 4-7 years ago and this guy was always on the top tier when it came to physiques, I guess we all go through something that makes us stay out of the gym, I wish him nothing but the best
The people who filmed his house and him while he was having a breakdown are everything wrong with this world. No empathy. What the actual fuck. That was heartbreaking
Honest to fuck :(
Agree, that was gross of them. That stuff should not really be for public consumption. I gotta ask though, have you actually had a friend go through a mental breakdown like that?
One of my childhood friends was diagnosed as schizophrenic in our late teens. The unfortunate reality is that sometimes there's just nothing meaningful you can do to help.
At the start we gave it out all, bought him a bike for transportation, housed and fed him whenever he needed etc. Encouraging him to find work and stay on meds. He required us to do ALL of it. He lost the job after 2 weeks for stealing $15 a few times, then got pissed at us for telling him he needs to stop doing that kind of stuff. Ended up getting kind of aggressive and with my younger siblings it just wasn't cool to have around the house. We kept the garage open with a futon and stuff if he ever needed it but he was no longer welcome inside. Once he was out on his own he got hooked on meth, showed up high as fuck, smoked in the garage a bunch, vandalized stuff with legit Schizo drawings. Just sad seeing a friend go through it. Keep in mind this was not linear decline either, peaks and valleys galore where I thought he was going to recover countless times, and within a month he was back in the garage incoherently mumbling to himself.
Anyways my point is no matter how much love you give the mental illness will trump it all. It fucking sucks, but it's the truth. Unless you're a qualified psychologist you may as well be speaking two different languages. And if you do end up trying, it's a full time commitment. You can't take proper care of yourself, work full-time, and take good care of your sick best friend. The best way you can help them effectively is by leading them to the proper means of help, just hope your areas social support system isn't a nightmare.
@@ItsDdvdd I have had several friends and family actually. And I would never put their suffering online

man i used to watch all this guys videos all the time man i’ve seen this before but man it’s still so wild man
Psychedelics are known to exacerbate schizophrenia in those that are susceptible to it or have family history. It seems he may have experienced this but eventually found a way to manage it. I didn't even know you could consume ayahuasca that often and still get effects. That's insane.
damn i forgot about this guy. if you are gonna cover fitness youtubers, you HAVE to do a deep dive into Rich Piana. his story is literally insane. everything from his crazy over the top body builder / influencer lifestyle... to his tragic death and afterwards his disgusting ex wife that went after his money after he was gone. i think it would make for an interesting video

hello mr epic gamer
Yeah the fitness niche is pretty entertaining. I'm working on a video of Mike O'Hearn
His mental decline is crazy, but the way his "friends" blast it on social media for the world to see is even more crazy to me. Then again, he was also doing it himself. Idk, personally I'd get help for him behind closed doors.
Yah that one guy who was like “I’d call Connor everyday, or rather he would call me…” and granted idk if ur allowed to visit people at a psych ward like a hospital but like you couldn’t even call your friend to check on him?? He had to call you? Thats one lame sorry ass excuse for a friend. Connor really needed some real friends. Seems like everyone was just using him for clout and it’s sad.
yea man those "friends" are trash
He was mentally ill at the time so him putting it online isn't strange and kind of out of is control. It's so weird for his friends to just put even more stuff online about his mental breakdown.... His friends used his mental issues for clout...
Her personality brought him more attention then it was worth.
That guy seemed alright, I think he meant Connor would call him to manically ramble about enlightenment still
I went through something similar and I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. My psychosis episodes were similar to his and they were really scary
But his was an act and you're a wacko
i feel terrible for this guy. I may not know him, but as someone with severe anxiety, nothing hurts more than someone exposing you as you start losing grip.
That defeated look of his mother, sitting there...she knows there's no point trying to argue. Sadly I reached that point with someone I cared about, where psychosis overcame them. It's tragic, for everyone.
Normally environmental factors contribute to exacerbating the underlying issues, such as the people around them. Why are you looking for attention on the internet based on what someone else is suffering through? Shame on you.
Don’t give up on that person - my BFF recovered from psychosis after treatment at mental clinics. Took some time, but she now excels in whatever she puts her focus to. Much stronger than me mentally too.
Obviously a person cannot be forced to stick with treatment. But I work at a psychiatric hospital, mostly on the highest acuity units (that treat people suffering from severe psychosis), and I cannot count how many times I have seen people be admitted in the state he's in, often much worse, and within 10 days of proper medication management they, for lack of a better way of putting it, totally return to reality. They'll still have some symptoms. But those delusions and hallucinations can absolutely be controlled with the proper medications, but ONLY if they're monitored by a qualified and experienced psychiatrist and only if the person takes their medication as prescribed.
Time stamp?
@@theonef570 it's when he's on the video call, with an older man and woman. she's the camera at the bottom
Some good friends he's got there. "Hi guys Connor is having a hard time he's my friend and I'm worried about him. So let me tell you all his personal info and embarrass him instead of helping him privately." These blogger CZcamsrs are the worst.
With friends like these…
Yes he has a problem but the way they exposed his house really bothered me
@@fefelarue2948 … u don’t even need enemies
Exactly, thank you
Yeah fucked up and barely friends
I've met so many people that think psychedelics are the answer to everything. That it "kills your ego" and makes you a better person. And ad years go on I look back to check up on these people, and they are in a constant downward spiral, this reminds me of so many people
I'm an EMT and work at our states largest ER. I saw this hapoen a lot. This happened to a top athlete at my college and he was put into treatment, but it didn't help. It pretty much happened exactly like this. Got super religious (like obsessive and not normal), gave away all his things, and doesn't care about anything else.
Maybe he’s right and „normal people“ are actually the delusional ones. Who’s to say?
I am a psych nurse and most males start displaying psych issues between 18 and 25. Although a person can start having psych issues much earlier or much later. If he was really taking that drug that often, then it’s more than likely drug induced psychosis
I can probably agree with you that it seems to be a Drug induced Psychosis, Coming up to 1 year of not being on medication from it everything he was doing was very similar to how I was acting or how my mentality was.
I would say the Manic Episode is his mind questioning everything but with no real substance or process of information to tell him he's wrong, paranoia onset is something I'll never understand with a manic state as your not really depressed over your thoughts, just lost with no answers. (@deviantmotives, I'm am fine 4 years later, the hats off to you for pursuing a hard job and many thanks to anyone doing it)
100% ayahuasca abuse-induced psychoses.
I just commented above regarding this. Ayahuasca is a life changing experience, and it should be done very sparingly. Many people do it once and that's enough to experience what they need. My neighbor, who I grew up with, started taking LSD in high school. He got up to 5 hits a day, and he went clinically insane after a year. He spent almost a month at CMH. Afterwards his mom sold their house and he moved to Arizona. I lost contact with him after that, so I have no idea how he fared in life. He showed absolutely no indication of insanity beforehand, and I actually thought he had his s**t together. Well a year of dropping 5 hits of acid a day will take a toll on anyone.
@@BitwiseMobile after your first 5 doses of lsd wouldn't hit you the same as it did in your first.. your body quickly builds a tolerance to lsd so after the 4th day of taking lsd he'd feel little to nothing by that time..
@@friendzoned4990 That's probably whey get got up to 5 hits after awhile. He didn't start dropping 5 hits at a time, I assure you. Also, I misspoke somewhat when I said "every day". I should have said he was up to 5 hits per dose, since he wasn't dosing every single day from what I understand. He told me, before he went batshit, that he would dose 2-3 times a week. When he was at his worst though I have no idea what the cadence was. I assure you though, he did not start at 5 hits. It was probably because of that tolerance that you speak of that he got up to 5 hits before he lost his mind.
Honestly the most terrifying part of this story its how so many people failed to help him, they didnt care, they didnt help with the attention…they saw him go downhill and their best idea was to record pretty much everything.
Like people filming traffic accidents instead of helping or getting out of the way. 🙄
I think the people around him cared. Their sentiment seemed sincere. I get mildly manic myself, and my family members can't really do much for me when I get manic.
Watching this video it felt like his buddies were using his mental problems for click bait
Trust me, you can’t help a person like that. He turned insane and he liked it, there’s nothing you can really do at that point
@@augyisadogy9729 I'm sure in retrospect he didn't enjoy it. Mania gives feelings of euphoria, not necessarily his enjoyment.
It's amazing how much I can relate to this. Between being crazy or having had a spiritual awakening, it's kinda both. But he isn't enlightened. Just awakened to the spiritual aspect of life. The craziness and drama is a product of what I call externalization. The spiritual process can be very intense and when we overdo it, push it too hard too quick, the mind starts to rebel by creating all kinds of external drama to draw the attention back out into the world. Over time he will become wise to it and start to relax as the process ensues. Spirituality will remain a primary obsession until he reaches enlightenment. But life will be re-integrated with it. Seems like he's already gone through a lot of initial phases. What he needs is to lay off the DMT and also he needs to speak much less about it. Become silent if possible. So long as he keeps speaking, his mind will manufacture all kinds of distractions, drama, psychosis, and maybe even worse.
Interesting how all of his "friends" released videos of themselves talking about his mental health and filming things about him for content instead of just talking to him and being concerned.
yeah especially the part where he called them and asked to come back and they filmed it
@@boman1074 that was disgusting
you're only seeing the people who did post about it online though. the thing is, other friends who dont do that, and are just concerned with him, you wouldnt see so you feel like they arent there
We don't know that ALL his friends did that, since any friends who didn't do that we wouldn't hear about.
That's people for you, they always have to make it about themselves.
I wish him the best. His “friends” are pathetic.
I agree, the way that they are just talking about him on CZcams behind his back is so wrong
Yeah imagine if the poor guy offed himself right after the world zoom call? “We didn’t go back” YOU ASSHOLES 😤
They are not friends in any shape or form sadly… I never heard of this guy previously but I have absolute sympathy for anyone suffering mental health bless him !
They arent his friends they are trying to get veiws...very sad i feel more sorry for the ppl doing that then him.
@@valjean2036 you feel more sad for the meant to be friends which are definitely sad by the way than the guy that’s had a complete mental breakdown 🫤 !
I live in a town where pretty much everyone under the age of 30 uses psychedelics and I’ve definitely seen a lot of people go through the same thing he did. It’s fixable by getting sober and grounding yourself but it can definitely fuck u up. Don’t take drugs if your heads not in the right place
exactly dude, but he most likely had a underlying mental issue that brang him into psychosis, this is not a normal occurrence with psychs
when ive met people like this irl, it's been so surreal that i felt like i was crazy myself. actually terrifying, they're always really intense and you can tell that they completely believe everything that they're saying and thinking, their thoughts are so rapid and alinear, all over the place.
i hope everybody like this gets help, they could be a danger to themselves and others.
It was all an act lmao you fell for it
It was sad to see a few of his friends abandon/mock him once he started struggling with his mental health. Really glad to see him doing better now, but man... really lets you know how quickly people can turn their backs to you.
Not only did they leave him, their videos seemed to be laughing at him/mocking him a bit, just them laughing and going "woahhh crazy" at his mental decline is just cruel and sad. This is why mental health/illness needs to be taken very seriously by people as a whole, especially for men.
@@vglycorpse Agreed. Male culture/relationships definitely lack that feeling of support/openness. It really is an under-represented social issue.
Bro them just holding their phones at him while he was having a breakdown was so sad. That's even more insane in and of itself actually. If I were his friend, I'd be so devastated and distraught I wouldn't even THINK of pulling my phone out. I'd just stand there and it'd haunt my train of thought for a good while. Wtf is wrong with them
@@mjatt the tiny exposure you see on a video does not total the whole outcome of what happened, i bet a lot of them tried to intervene and give advice, and he disregarded it or diverted it and thus they became tired of it.
dont believe a video or clip totals up what is what.
@@vglycorpse Ngl the Mario enlightment thing that he posted on his IG actually made me laugh because of how random it was, but it's still pretty fucked up how his friends are basically treating his bad mental state as a joke and are just making fun of him. Those are some fake ass friends. I just hope he's doing better now 🙏🏾
So sad. Unfortunately CZcams fame and money introduces stress that many don't understand. Wish this guy all the best in the future
He flew too close to the sun, I have a friend who was never the same after taking mushrooms and mixing with other substances.
That's the thing with psychedelics. They show you some incredible things, some people never come back from their trip.
@@LuxFuxx I have two other friends who said they would never even try LSD because it's semi-synthetic, after taking heroic does many times they are now addicted to meth. Psychedelics can be a powerful tool to help with trauma among other things, lord knows they have helped me. But like Alan Watts said "Once you get the message, hang up the phone."
@@thomasarther343 oh, I'm definitely in a better place because of them. I'm who I am because of them. But I have had a small peek behind the veil, I know how consuming it can be.
He is God, as much as you and I are. To think is to be, I am therefore I think. There is nothing but consciousness, what he truly achieved was a God state but it wasn't paired with grounding and the inner work needed to be able to handle said truths, so he went "insane"
Man Connor inspired me so much in High School; Seeing the man he is now doesn’t even seem real. I really hope he gets better.
You do not need enemies when you have this type of friends.
The only crazy thing about this is that no one got this man help sooner. He's clearly going through a psychotic episode and everyone just seems to want to make content out of the situation. I also can't believe that the video they made together is still up, I wouldn't want anyone seeing me like that and it just seems in bad taste. They knew exactly what was going on but still decided to upload a video of someone in their most vulnerable moment...
Couldn’t agree more! The phrase “in poor taste” falls short
This is also the only thing I could think about in the ladder half especially
He was already getting and being offered help. It just wasn't working
@e think about yourself for a moment. You, an unfeeling bot, have decided to post a presumptively harmless comment on a video, which is about the spiral into depression and insanity by a man, in real life and time, on a comment that talks about the whole seriousness of it all. You are not the circus, you are the entire comedic industry. To anyone who read this entire post who isn't you, thank you. Lol bye
I agree :(
Notice how all his homies showed up with cameras and their help consisted of documenting him and posting it.....that's what you call friends
It's terrible, isn't it?
They were never his friends
Who needs enemies when you got "friends" like that?
As someone who watched my friend lose to psychosis, it’s so fucking horrible to see how these “friends” treated him. They’re not friends. Friends call the person’s family or their loved ones, they get them help. They don’t tell them “yeah, we’ll come back” and fucking ghost them. That’s low. I hope those creators have shit careers
i find it insane that the man literally had to doxx himself in order to get help. not his friends, not his family, he had to literally say his own address in a youtube video for someone to arrive and help him
i dont judge them though. not even proffessionals are always able to react appropiatly when treating someone with psychosis. Getting help for someone in a state like that is incredibly difficult because they often dont want it and they dont have the priveledge of ebin in an observers persepctive like us which make it damn near impossible to differentiate between illness and that person.
@@ceton1843 i suppose you are right but i think it is less about how hard it is for them to get him help, i think they just did not care. in every single clip where his friends were on screen they looked like if they much rather cared about the content they made with him than actually being concerned for his health
@@ceton1843 you're all throughout this comment section saying drivel like this. Just say you wouldn't be a terrible friend to people with mental health and move on.
Nothing to change in person though just keep acting the way you are in person so everyone with these issues knows you're worth little more than being an acquaintance to anyone.
@@ceton1843 you're all over this comment section, going out of your way at every opportunity to show how horrible of a friend you would be, got it. Professionals are literally trained to handle people with disabilities such as is. The ISSUE is the blatent fact that not a soul lifted a finger to help get him proper attention or help. Not his family, not his friends. He had to literally DOXX HIMSELF just so someone would help him. This has absolutely NOTHING to do with "professionals not always knowing what to do" or whatever bullshit you're spewing now. The fact that you are trying to find any excuse to justify the fact that you're also a piece of shit friend who wouldn't lift a finger to help anyone, is honestly pathetic bro
This video is sensationalist garbage.
Conor was never really insane.
He talked at length about spirituality, nondualism, about metaphysics. He debated people, including Vegan Gains, Cosmic Skeptic, Matt Dillahunty and others. He was articulate in his beliefs. He called himself God from a pantheist perspective, but according to that everyone is God. This video conveniently does not show the substance of his beliefs.
He was unhinged, but he kept tabs on reality. His unhinged nature is hard to understand for normies. It's a state of childish wonder, a state that goes to the core of human experience that we repress and ignore via social bullshit. That wild, wild state. That beautiful boiling blood filled with whimsical excitement and ectasy. Euphoria.
And what is insanity really? To me, insanity is reductiveness. I see plenty of people being reductive without "acting insane". Someone who acts wild is not necessarily insane, but free. To me, your reductive ass is insanity, regardless of how much of an obedient boy or girl you are to the norms.
Conor, at the time when he was "insane", was one of the most unbridled and amazing people I ever saw in my entire life.
He indeed started being reckless but that was not the crux of his spiritual journey. And an ignoramus like the one who made this video who superficially skims stories and makes stupid edgy " documentaries " on them, while ignoring the heart, does not know that.
Yeah, his friends were trash. We've seen this with Etika, another great human being. Everyone abandoned him when he was just a raw human.
Who in their right mind would film their friends when they’re at their lowest? I hope he’s doing well now and is finally surrounded by people who actually care about him

FINALLY SOMEONE DID SOMETHING LEGIT ON THIS DUDE I USED TO BE ALL ABOUT HIS EARLY VIDEOS BUT WOW MAN THIS IS GOOD STUFF
Never heard of another case where someone doxxing themselves actually worked in their interest but this guy posting his address online & enabling people to direct emergency services to him and get him into psychiatric care as a result may genuinely have saved his life!
And isn't it wild how literal strangers ended up showing more concern to him than his actual friends did?
shits crazy
just goes to show how much the gym community cares
They didn't "direct him" though. They kidnapped him. Big difference. While he definitely need the help, without the voluntary element, we risk falling into a police state where any detractor of a group or system can be labeled as "insane". This is already happening through federal directives and through some states active participation. It is unsurprising this incident occurred in LA.
@@iruleatgames I understand what you're saying but people in the middle of a genuine psychotic break are literally physically unable to think coherently and rationally. My dog is more capable of understanding and consenting to medical care than people in that state are.
I worry about things along those lines too. Abuses have happened in the past and, no doubt, will happen in the future. That being said, reality is sometimes messy and there is no perfect solution. If you find an unconscious man bleeding out from a leg injury on the side of the road, do you apply a tourniquet even though he is physically unable to consent? I'm pretty sure the vast majority of people would say yes. It only gets into a morally grey area if he wakes up and decides to take it off. Is it ok to force him to keep it on if he believes it's an anaconda trying to consume his purple? I guess there's a personal call to make there, but for my money, I would say yeah, it stays on.
Saddest thing of all of this is how many of his alleged friends cashed in on him, he was clearly in an awful place publically and privately it must have been even more obvious, and yet they took it as an opportunity to earn
everything has a price, friendship too.
100 except they snitched so they’re fails

@@moneyobsessed maybe their friends wanted to help but affraid to step boundaries, usually their parents should know his manic but clearly they didnt so their "friends" help using video for support, usually having a friend who is manic clearly can be overwhelming for us too help from close ecounter bcs he might break aswell.

I hope this is works as a good warning that psychedelics are not to be underestimated. Regardless of your setting or tripsitter, some people are just not meant to go through what psychs offer.
I hope he gets better, no one is immune to mental illness, we should help those of us who struggle with mental illness.
This is legitimately one of my worst fears, ending up in a place where I can’t tell fact from fiction. On the outside, where’re left dumbfounded by his crazy, psychotic god complex, but I can’t imagine what it feels like to be in his shoes, believing that you’re the one who is enlightened about something and that everyone else isn’t.
yep, my biggest fear by far.
this is my reality. AMA.
It is absolute misery.
I was there before from to much drugs, I can't describe the hell it is, there's a voice in your head 24/7 and your fighting it, it was very hard to win
I had a bad trip on something I smoked one day and it happened to me in my shower while I was all alone. I never smoke again but sometimes I feel those thoughts coming back inside my head and it’s a scary thing.
Seeing the actions of his so called "friends" trying to exploit him in the public eye while he's literally losing his mind left me feeling legitemately disturbed. If any of them see this I hope youre burning in your own selfmade hell of guilt, you deserve no less. Ive had people close to me betray me or turn their backs at my lowest but never did any of them secretly film or try to showcase the situation in the public eye, thats one of the scummiest things a person can ever do.

As someone with schizophrenia myself, I feel for this poor man. I went through a delusion for close to a year and a half where I thought I was the Doctor from "Doctor Who". Schizophrenia is a very real and serious illness. This poor guy suffers from it worse than I do. I was fortunate enough to be diagnosed early on and get medicated fairly quickly. It still sucks to have and it makes my life a real struggle, but I'm thankful that it isn't as bad as it could be. I hope Connor gets better soon 🙏

@@abbasmousa699 😂
See my video proving that psychiatry is pseudo-science, and a scam.
You're doing a great job. Doctor.
I had a buddy who had a very similar experience to this back in 2021. He wasn't a body builder or youtuber, but he also abused drugs and had a massive psychotic break. It got to the point where he was trying to harm/kill people to prove his delusions and psychosis as fact. As his best friend, it's some scary stuff, and it's exceptionally scary how similar the things my buddy was saying are to the things Conner is seen saying. Ever since, he's been in and out of mental hospitals and has been diagnosed with bipolar manic depression
Wow, can't imagine having these people as friends.
Is no one going to talk about his friends literally filmed him while he is going through this? If I was going through tough time and my friends decided to document my mental breakdowns and film how my house is messed up, i’ll just give up. Literally i’m so disgusted by them…
Right? I wouldn't even do that to my worst enemy
On one side it seems a bit opportunistic to capitalize on his breakdowns, however on the other side its good for everyone involved (him included) to gather/archive evidence in order to get a grasp on the situation and share how dire his state had become. (Most of the videos made by his friends seemed pretty genuinely concerned to me, like the guy sharing a respectful recount and the girl who was helping clean his house up, maybe its slightly odd to us for them to film these things but you have to keep in mind these people are content creators and he was a man who had a platform of very confused/concerned followers, i think his friends just helped offer a little bit of clarity to the situation).
When you take into account the financial gains his friends might have made from covering the situation i can understand why the motive might be scrutinized, but at the end of the day they were the ones keeping people updated in a actually sensical way and somewhat controlling the speculation at the time by sharing their videos
That's what happens when all your friends are D-list "Influencers".. they will do ANYTHING for a small scrap of clout, they would film you having a seizure and dying if it meant they could get some more instagram followers. They are just trash people
He barely knew those people, iirc they’re random CZcamsrs that drove down to LA just to make a documentary about him and help him clean his house
Any sort of moral purpose by recording their visit was thrown out the window with that really distasteful thumbnail and how they literally raised their phones to his face. I hope they at least didn’t monetize their video

Will there be an update after he put out his documentary explaining alot of things stated in this video?

I myself have severe mental issues, and I’m only 15, and my friends have never judged me even when I’m basically losing touch with reality right in front of them. It’s sickening to see how Connor’s so and so called “friends” reacted to him losing a grip on his sanity. I really wish him the best,
“You should never make fun of anyone who is doing their best in life.” Thank you for this nugget of compassionate wisdom. ♥️

At least you actually care about your son who's locked up and want his best health.
my family wants me locked up as a punishment because I speak out too much.
They view mental hospitals as prisons, which explains so much about my family
I honestly don't know who this guy is at all, but that video that Connor uploaded @13:12 is absolutely heartbreaking. It's a call for help. And I think he was VERY embarrassed by it so he claimed he was just "acting" crazy in order to grab the attention of Hollywood producers. I really really hope he's doing better now and II wish he'd transition to talking about his mental health journey and how he survived his psychosis (often fatal).

Or maybe he is addicted to getting attention and millions of views and pulls stunts like this to get lots of views. If he really was micro dosing every 2 hours that will eventually make anyone go insane because the barriers of normal human consciousness are broken down causing him to think crazy thoughts and believing it

Ok
@@OverRule1 Ok Mathew
He's slipped into the psychedelics craze. They're usually harmless and nice crazies.
@@OverRule1 and his friends are enjoying this. They're getting content of him instead of getting him help.
the look on his mom's face in that call broke my heart
I think this shows the importance of many things:
1. To have a supportive and understanding social circle. His friends treating his severe mental breakdown as free content is just disgusting.
2. If you're going to take drugs, then do it under supervision and follow the guidelines given by a knowledgeable person, drugs are not to be toyed with.
3. Mental health awareness, resources, and support is incredibly important.
Mental Health/Fortitude should be worked on as seriously as your body. I remember watching him back in high school, thinking he was this perfect guy who has this perfect body and can get all the girls he wants. This was very humbling to watch, I’m glad he is doing better ❤️

Koofy!!!
Ironically I think that's why he tried Ayahuasca
yeah, its like his mental health brought down his physical health while they were both at an all time high
also hi koofy :)
It’s weird to have a Roblox youtuber commenting on something else
but oh well
I really think it is gross how all those youtubers talk about him on their channels instead of helping him. I hope he manages to get back on track and mostly that he finds happiness.
i kinda wanna be on your side but have you ever tried helping someone with psychosis? Its damn near impossible. Every doctor and social worker will advise you to leave them. theur condition tears the people around them and themselves down and there is not aaprpiate support you can provide.
@@ceton1843 but it was still their choice to exploit his psychotic episode on their youtube channels. Im not saying that they needed to step in and save the day and fix it, but you dont go onto a public platform and show thousands of strangers videos of his messy apartment and a paranoia/delusion based facetime and laugh at it. He was in a breakdown, they were shitty people. (source: my time working on a psych ward with a primary population of people with paranoid schizophrenia and people with Bipolar disorder)
@@ceton1843 I'm just gonna believe you for the sake of the discussion but even if that is true you and you can't help, doing the opposite and actually using your friends declining mental wellbeing to get interesting content and grow your own following is just not acceptable at all.
This video is sensationalist garbage.
Conor was never really insane.
He talked at length about spirituality, nondualism, about metaphysics. He debated people, including Vegan Gains, Cosmic Skeptic, Matt Dillahunty and others. He was articulate in his beliefs. He called himself God from a pantheist perspective, but according to that everyone is God. This video conveniently does not show the substance of his beliefs.
He was unhinged, but he kept tabs on reality. His unhinged nature is hard to understand for normies. It's a state of childish wonder, a state that goes to the core of human experience that we repress and ignore via social bullshit. That wild, wild state. That beautiful boiling blood filled with whimsical excitement and ectasy. Euphoria.
And what is insanity really? To me, insanity is reductiveness. I see plenty of people being reductive without "acting insane". Someone who acts wild is not necessarily insane, but free. To me, your reductive ass is insanity, regardless of how much of an obedient boy or girl you are to the norms.
Conor, at the time when he was "insane", was one of the most unbridled and amazing people I ever saw in my entire life.
He indeed started being reckless but that was not the crux of his spiritual journey. And an ignoramus like the one who made this video who superficially skims stories and makes stupid edgy " documentaries " on them, while ignoring the heart, does not know that.
Yeah, his friends were trash. We've seen this with Etika, another great human being. Everyone abandoned him when he was just a raw human.
he's back doing bangers
I have experienced people having similar "episodes" due to an excessive use of psychedelics, aya included. The people claiming to be his friends should be F^%$£"£ ashamed of them self for not helping but exploiting him. I hope he is doing better now.
Hallucinogenics can send you into serious lifelong mental health issues. I took them back in the 1990s and two of my friends ended up seriously mentally ill.
They totally changed my life as well. It actually helped me. I went from a metalhead kid to reading like crazy, getting into a prestigious college after being a highschool drop out. However, later in life, I'm struggling with serious depression. I realise have been bipolar since that time just not as bipolar as my friends became. They thought they were cameras implanted in their heads etc.
For those who don’t know, he has left behind all the weird stuff and is now back to to a somewhat normal fitness channel
what do you mean by 'somewhat' normal?
@@purgenta check his channel mate.

What like suggesting everyone drink their own sperm for protein? Is that what you call normal?
