We're better than the US for mental health but we do still fail a lot of people. It's the same all over Europe, just look at Mylar.

In Clem's case though, I think it's to do with the family in general. Both Clem and his mum are obviously depressed, I guess Daddy Saggers meant a lot to Mummy Saggers and poor old Clem is picking up on it.

And if we've correctly guessed at their religious affiliations, that's probably an additional barrier. In theory, JWs believe psychotherapy and psychopharmacology are acceptable treatments for mental health problems. But in practice, it seems like they're encouraged to pursue counseling and support within the JW community before seeking traditional therapy, out of concern that secular therapists may contradict biblical rules or criticize aspects of the faith.

Broadly stated, I find it really distasteful when religious sects get their hooks in people by offering support when they're vulnerable, demanding all their time and energy so that outside friendships fall by the wayside, and then threatening them with the loss of all their friends and faith community if they dissent. It's predatory and disgusting.

I find Clem's mom to be a sympathetic figure on the balance, but if she's turning to Jesus Camp in lieu of proper mental health care, she's really doing herself and her son no favors.

Yeah, but Mylar lives in Denmark. Denmark doesn't give a damn about anyone that isn't 100% mentally healthy. It's the norm to abort a kid with down syndrome, and as soon as autism can be seen from ultrasounds they're gonna be cut from society over there too.

That aside, the family issue definitely is a big thing. Over here (Netherlands), pretty much for all cases mental help can be gotten. Family counselling, personal therapy, help with school and employment, etc. Know this from a few autistic friends that have been helped and they do get around with society now. It just slightly surprises me that it seems Clem never has gotten it. Now he turned into this wreck, and if he doesn't get help, he'll die at his own hands. It'd be electrocution, housefire, obesity/bad diet, or whatever.

And do not get me started on religious groups that exploit people...

Mylar, have you considered the future? You do nothing but sit around and desperately try to hold on to a past that is rapidly crumbling. Your Bratz dolls, your 90s electronics, everything that you pay for and want to keep. It will all decay. The plastic will break and wear out, your electronics will wear out and burn, and there will be no way to replace it. None of it will be made any more. There will come a time where you wake up and realize that you're 50, your parents are both dead, and everything you've ever loved is lost to the ravages of time. I ask you one question: what will you do then?

Dude....that's sad. Your whole life is Bratz dolls, 90s tech, and balloons. Like, it's completely overtaken everything about you. And you're just going to kill yourself when you can't get it anymore? Leaving absoulutly no impact on the world? Nothing for future generations to remember you by? Just, one day your landlord gets around to checking on the weird smell coming from your apartment and finds your decomposing corpse hanging from the ceiling?
Do you really want to go out like that?

I think his room is getting dirtier by the minute.
Just look at that radiator..
I think he tries to be a mentally challenged version of Photonicinduction, but without the necessary knowledge.
I'm sure this will end well...

Skip to 17:00 if you would like to feel simultaneously worried for Clement's safety and revolted by his environmental hygiene.

He really needs to separate his bedroom and hobby's. The size of that bedroom probably isn't helping either, he is literally sleeping with other peoples trash.

Makes you wonder why he doesn't use the other bedroom or loft space.

I thought Europe was a place where mental help was better than the US overall? Guess the UK is a bit of an exception.

Depends on if you seek out help or not. All it would take is a few actions from his mom and Clem could be forced into receiving help by the NHS.

Rubbish. You would have given that very same answer if asked 10 years ago about your mid 30's.

Youtube was full of these types at one point, people uploading videos of themselves playing with high voltage for the wow factor. This man comes to mind

It looks like a bit of harmless fun until you look at the rest of his videos and realize its the same old materiel being uploaded, rinsed and repeated. https://www.youtube.com/user/high1voltage1rules/videos

Poor old Clem! A little interaction with Google and the Linux Mint community forum would have solved his problems but no, he prefers to wander around in ignorance and half-arsed foolishness, sounding out plaintive cries of "it's too hard! Woe is me!"

He ranted about Ubuntu sucking before. Because, here's the kicker, his hard drive was full and Ubuntu wouldn't run properly... Well, no shit, it isn't like Windows will be OK with a full drive.

If Clem got rid of that heap of junk he would have more room for video production instead of having to film on his stained bed sheets.

Peter your account name gave me an idea, a Malcolm Tucker mash up with Clems problems and rant videos.

I had nothing to do tomorrow... had. Now I got to find that video where he punches MBF out of his room and overlap "You massive gay shite! Fuck off!" over that.
Wonder how long it takes for him to attempt a copyright strike on it, if he can figure out how.
