I think they were all around the same time. Cadi first, Mimi’s car and then Bev’s car.

They are so over the top, that I’ve never made it through an entire vlog.
Which, considering that Carl is very tolerable on his podcast, means that anything you see on their vlog is fake fakety fake.

Thanks. So the Caddy Mimi's car were before Bev's. But I am willing to bet that if they hadn't gotten nice shiny new cars, Bev wouldn't have gotten her little used Sentra.

I know people who *actually* suffer from anxiety/depression/various other mental health issues, and there is no way they'd be able to run a million dollar business, or even get up and film every day. One of the main factors of a mental health disorder is that it interferes with your daily life, and this does not really *seem* to be the case with Bryan (or Missy, but she wasn't the one who tweeted about it). If it is, then I take it back, and who cares about my little random opinion that much anyway, but I don't see why not believing him on that count is any worse than other things people make fun of them for on here.

I definitely don't think it's good at all to dismiss legit mental health issues... but the flip side of the coin is that not EVERYONE in the world can suffer from anxiety and depression. And if you ask my facebook feed on one of those mental health awareness days, it seems like 75%+ of the world have self-diagnosed themselves with mental health issues..I think this only adds to the problem of not taking the people with actual disorders seriously. Life is hard for everyone, and I have spent my fair share of time curled up in a ball wanting to die, but it doesn't mean I have depression, and I am SO awkward in social situations and get nervous about them, but it doesn't mean I have an anxiety disorder. Bryan may have dug himself a hole with Missy and her family and is scared they will leave him when/if their Youtube income ends, but that doesn't mean he has a mental health disorder.

Anyway, I still don't really believe Bryan claiming to have actual anxiety and depression, just from what I know about him in general. Yes, he may have had a difficult childhood, yes, he almost definitely has low self esteem to let Missy treat him the way she does, and yes he acts way too happy and perfect all the time...but these people also have a bit of a track record of embellishing things, attention & approval seeking, and straight up lying.
Nope. If you think the main indicator of people with real Mental illness is that it interferes with their functionality, you’re incredibly misinformed.

The vast, VAST majority of people with the most common mental illnesses are what is called “high functioning “. It means that you are emotionally crippled, but you still get shit done.

Being high functioning is the number one reason those suffering with mental illness are treated with skepticism and very little sympathy. To most people they seem perfectly normal, so those around them have normal expectations of their abilities. The crushing weight of people thinking you are mentally typical, and having to put all of your mental energy into maintaining that facade is exhausting.

I’m high functioning bipolar. Most people, even my own mother still doesn’t believe it’s “that bad”, because she hasn’t seen me sobbing on the bathroom floor, or break my foot putting it through the wall. My home is kept, my children are well adjusted, I’m put together and friendly. I function in a socially acceptable manner until I’m by myself.

It affects me. It interferes with me. I DON’T let it affect anyone else. I get my shit done. My mental illness is real, even if you can’t see it. And it’s so much worse than I’ve ever let on.
Amen! How many celebrities... Millionaires..... Do you hear about that you have no idea they struggle with depression and just, one day they kill themselves.

I was going to say more on that but I think Theirmom covered it. Looks can be deceiving.

I was kind of annoyed that he basically blamed his depression on the fact that he has to pay his staff? Humble brag much? "I'm depressed because people depend on me."

Like dude, don't let that bring you down, take care of your family first, immediate family, not in-laws.... if you can no longer be someone's meal ticket they'll figure something out. But take care of yourself and your family first. It is disturbing how much they are spending. You see much bigger YouTubers that don't live nearly as ostentatiously as the Bumps. If that's making him depressed.... the weight of the knowledge that his house of cards is going to come crashing down and they really will be living in a family member's garage again and a belief that it's super important to keep up appearances and kick the can down the road as long as possible because when it's gone it's gone.

The irony is, even if that's his mentality, I think they could scale back the consumption and keep the views coming in by going back to the roots of their channel. Maybe that's what they're doing with the road trip, they certainly could have flown, but driving a family of 4 is much cheaper, yet way more relatable for most audiences, I'd think.

What was up with his mom visiting anyways? Was she only there for a day? From what I saw she was only like on two seconds of the vlog and nothing else was said. Although, maybe she doesn’t like being on camera very much? She looked fantastic though!

She has family in San Diago so I'm assuming she went down there for the remainder of the visit

Anyone able to read the calendar she showed the other day? Was this trip planned or last minute to not hang out with Bryans mom?

Caitlyn from teen mom was admitted for mental health last week.. IWonder, if seeing everyone talking About it is why he was too.

Totally to avoid his mom. Missy plans a trip when Bev and Nancy are around EVERY TIME.

If it were happening by accident I'm pretty sure she would have done something to prove us wrong at this point. It looks bad, and has to make Bryan and his family feel like garbage.

I'm not sure if Nancy was the best mom to Bryan growing up (I'm not saying she wasn't, I just genuinely don't know if she was good or not bc I don't have much info), but regardless, she seems really sweet. I've always thought that. If Missy has a problem with something she did in the past (like being on Bryan's side, as some have speculated), she needs to get over it. I bet Nancy would love the hell out of her like her own daughter if she were allowed to.

Bryan seems to really love his family, but he can't do it fully thanks to his darling wife.

Plus Shay going on about his "demons" in that weird car video the other day.

I agree that if the people "depending" on him make his life too stressful, he needs to learn to say no. But I also realize that it's much easier said than done. Someone said that he's probably afraid of being left all alone if the money goes away or he tells them to eff off and support themselves. If his self esteem is so low that he believes he's "nothing without this woman", which is what he just said yesterday, there's no way he's going to risk her rejection by telling her family to make their own way. She rejects him all the time as it is-- every time he gives her a gift he says "Did I do good, babe?", and she says he was a "beast" and she saved him.
Damn, they have a fucked up dynamic. And a bunch of little kids think they are #relationshipgoals. Sick.

He doesn't seem to have a grudge. And if he's forgiven her, it's not ok for Missy to hold such a grudge that Bryan sees his mom maybe once a year, while her mom and dad practically live with them.

And the look in her eye and thinking, yeah, that's where Bryan's Mom and Sister are. It felt very control freakish and mean. When Bryan's sister comes to visit she doesn't seem comfortable. Maybe it's the camera but she seems very sweet and shy. I feel bad it's always her coming to them (and his Mom).
I just don’t understand why Missy doesn’t at least want Ollie and Finn to spend as much time as possible with their grandma and aunt - even isn’t *she* isn’t crazy about spending that time with them. She has always gushed about her relationships with her own grandparents, so, barring a safety issue, I can’t comprehend why she wouldn’t want to put her personal feelings aside and let her kids spend time with the other side of their family. She can’t these years back, and once people are gone, they’re gone. It’s just another thing for the boys to resent her for when they grow up and realize what she did to their lives.

Interesting, thanks for the information Theirmom. I dunno if I'd call myself "incredibly" misinformed, as I got my misinformation from an Abnormal Psychology class back in Uni.. however it does look like it may be out of date now. Yeah, I'm in denial about how long ago I graduated! Just for reference though, Wikipedia's first sentence defining a mental disorder says: A mental disorder, also called a mental illness[2] or psychiatric disorder, is a behavioral or mental pattern that may cause suffering or a poor ability to function in life. I don't think it's *that* out there to think that a typical mental disorder would often interfere with your daily life...otherwise where is the disorder?? As you seem to be living proof of, having your life interfered with is not the same thing as other people judging you to be coping perfectly well based on limited information available to them (also in Bryan's case, his job is literally vlogging his life Every Single Day and being very, very present on social media *all* the time.)

I'm not trying to dismiss anyone on this board's mental illness, or minimise your personal struggle. Or say that I definitively know Bryan does not have clinically diagnosable anxiety and depression. It just doesn't seem likely in my personal opinion, and if he doesn't, it's annoying that he's exaggerating this issue like he does everything else. Having a job & being responsible for others is inherently stressful. If that's what he stresses about (as his tweet implies) it's called being human, not having a mental illness.

Off topic a bit.... don’t they usually go to Idelwild for Thanksgiving? So did they just to Utah for a day and then driving back to the mountains? Have to think that maybe missy pushed the trip to avoid Beverly.

Having a job & being responsible for others is inherently stressful. If that's what he stresses about (as his tweet implies) it's called being human, not having a mental illness.
The personal burden of appearing to be functional and getting things done while feeling awful inside is, in and of itself, an impact on one’s ability to function. So, I think it’s possible both of you are correct - many people with mental illness appear to be high-functioning, but at the same time, they are not functioning at their fullest potential because the depression and anxiety is still below the surface, making every “normal” activity more difficult than it should be.

Yeah, Idyllwild or Big Bear...not sure which. I don’t think Bev his sister was around this time - it was his mom and Bryan’s Aunt Bev. But, even so, she probably did push it to get away from his fam.

It’s definitely possible that Bryan DOES have depression and takes medication to help him function...

Robin Williams struggled with mental illness for years while being successful and no one knew until the day he died. It is exhausting to know that you are different and to create a mask that you aren't for those around you. It is secretive... and shameful. I can't believe this is being dismissed based on a psychology course someone took years ago, when there are those of us suffering from anxiety and depression posting saying it's absolutely possible for Bryan to be high functioning because we too are. And no, the fact that he uploads daily videos is evidence of nothing because one of the posters here arguing in his defence too has a YT channel and uploads daily.

Anxiety is constant worry even when there is no cause to worry. A feeling of being overwhelmed, sometimes about the most mundane of tasks. My 10 yo had a panic attack last night and had no idea why. It is a hard thing to handle, and I absolutely see signs of it in Bryan. Many people have high functioning depression and are able to go about caring for their children, working, etc but have an inability to enjoy it. This carries a similar shame and insecurity as anxiety, especially because the person is usually aware of it.

If Bryan struggles even time to time with mental illness then I feel bad for him and it isn't my place to judge. He isn't wrong about having a ton of pressure to support everyone, and it's only natural (and responsible) to feel that. Missy's family took Bryan in as one of their own and he's desperate to please them so it can stay that way. Changing his name to Hollister when they first moved to California is a pretty good indicator that he felt desperate to be one of them. Losing Missy's family just isn't an option, so if that love is conditional on keeping Missy and her family well supported then failure isn't an option.

And he wanted the truck, the new Polaris, and the Camaro. He spends just as much time on Amazon as Missy, maybe more. It's not just the phone. It's the _constant_ spending. Decorations that they never use again. That stupid pool makeover (that was admittedly Missy's idea). His albums, and a music video for each song. Flying first class everywhere they go. An $800 (easily) designer breed kitten for Ollie's birthday when a shelter cat would have been fine.
No, they shouldn't have Missy's family on payroll. But Bryan spends money like it's water too. He needs to stay off Amazon. They're both incredibly irresponsible. Did you ever see the 1980's movie "Blank Check"? They make me think of that. It's about a little kid who gets a blank check from a gangster to replace a bike that's ruined, and he cashes it for $1 million. So he goes out and spends it on stupid stuff.

Yep, 100%. They don’t know shit about handling finances.
