This really has nothing to do with retirement. It's addiction and depression. She needed a purpose in life, something to do with her money and a reason to get up in the morning. Money just amplifies who you already are.
Retiring in 20s is not the problem. Normal person could find something useful to do like hobby or help others. Amanda had mental problems that she tried to drown with alcohol and drug use. And from this video it seems that her problems started before she retired.
@@belialofeden here in finland you dont even get most of your retirement money, unless you live to like 100 yo. You only get payed 1k-3k a month when you retire and when you die goverment keeps the rest of the money.
So turns out her early retirement had NOTHING to do with how things turned out. She was already spinning out of control, depressed with a few other mental problems, self-medicating while abusing drugs and alcohol. In fact, her "retirement" came about from those problems. The industry is used to problematic actors and their toxic quirks. So imagine how bad the problems have to be for them to classify her as unmanageable and too big of a risk. Then she simply spun out of control as she no longer needed to hold back and there was no longer anyone managing her.
Yes - Her first interwiev left the exact same impression to me as the later ones. Everything is fantastic, I never do drugs etc. Im pretty sure her role was the only thing that kept her consumption at bay.

@@dankuya i never said anything about poor drug addicts... but if you have all the money you need and have 0 work responsibilities, its going to be much harder to keep yourself in check. That would take a lot of self-discipline that many of these child actors never had.
@@yeageristfritzyeah the issue is that they were child actors who never developed proper life skills and self control, not that they are rich and don't have to work. Its not hard for a mentally stable person to not go off the deep end like this with or without the money.
I was medically retired from the military at 27. The problem is, if you’re not working you need to find something to fill your time, otherwise life can get pretty boring. It would be very easy to fall into substance abuse.
Depression/traumas, when treated poorly (or just straight up untreated), can and will get bad enough to a point where activities that should free up your mind will actually get you more anxious (can't disassociate them from traumas or takes a stupid amount of willpower to start. Or both) Just to say that in some cases, hobbies won't help you at all (and might even do the reverse) unfortunately We don't know what happened with Amanda at all, we only saw the consequences. Maybe it was just a lack of hobbies that spiraled out of control, maybe it was something entirely unrelated. But seeing that she went to the gym or just went outside to do random stuff. Heck, some clips implies she has/had a dog so that should replace some boring times. I wouldn't be surprised there is way more to it than just a lack of hobbies. At the end of the day, we'll never get to know the full story of why she went down this badly
@@arcticbeak gaming is unironically a good retirement hobby, keeps you thinking and invested in something rather than turning to alcohol or drugs to pass the time
She was also part of the whole Nickelodeon crap with Dan Schneider. So imagine what all that did to her head on top of all the other stuff with her self hating her appearance. It's sad that it happened.
@@villefere6968 Idk what that has todo with the topic. Also are you employed by a youtuber? Did you mean to say big corpo or the goverment wants to keep you in check. I never heard that there was some youtuber conspiracy against blue collar workers.
@@Ryan38475Broader, don't partake in unattainable coping strategies for your problems and instead try to tackle and fix those issues at the core. Drugs are juat a popular choice for a coping mechanism, like behavioural addictions and others. They are just more covered by the media and demonised as the issue is far more politicised.
@@Ryan38475you can still have addiction issues and not take any drugs. As well as severe mental health issues. Drugs are just an escape from the underlying issues
One child star that retired early and I think came out well that had to go through some bullshit and horrible rumors was Frankie Muniz (Malcom In The Middle). There was an episode of SteveO's podcast where he talks about it and seems like a chill guy just living his life as a race car driver now.
Oh man, I miss Amanda Bynes. I know there were always those rumors about that creepy Dan Schneider during her Nickelodeon days. A lawyer who had explained some of his interactions with her over the course of 11 years revealed on his podcast that she had told him that she was R'd, forced to end the pregnancy, and had to continue to work with the person who did it. Also, she had said that acting is how she got through life. It was easier to be characters than herself. If one of the versions got hurt, it didn't matter because there were all of these other versions to keep her safe.
Some people use “dog food” as a slang/codeword for heroin. Amanda Bynes was literally getting high on real dog food… crushing up the little brown pellets, mixing the powder with water, and mainlining that sh!t 😆 On a serious note, as someone who wasted years of my life as a slave for dog food (dope), I wouldn’t wish that sh!t upon my worst enemy. I am one of the VERY FEW who made it out on the other side, out of so many of the people I ran with. Addiction is the fu€king worst! To anyone out there who is struggling, stay strong. Life can get better.
each to their own, some people can do it, it can be cheaper than playing genshin impact, and gatcha games for weebs. e.g cash whales. imo personality, and mood factors and how easy you are to get attatched to stuff, even coke and coffee, cigs all bad signs to stay out of it. but imo. i'd prob do it again when i'm in the pits.
Saw a fascinating vod about european soccer academies and how 90% of the students don't get to be signed by clubs because they simply aren't good enough. The aftermath on that realization to some of those kids even led up to them taking their own lives. And the video was suggesting either some laws be implemented for age restrictions or academies should take responsibility for and provide alternative career paths and education. I mean as asmon said maybe this wasn't because she was a child actor but as he also said a lot of child actors do end up like this.
That’s insane Someone decides they want to pursue a soccer career, they aren’t good enough to play, so the club has to hire them anyway or use their own resources to find them an alternative career? No
@@gagereed486 It goes both way, an academy, by picking a youth player (these generally already start around 10 years old sometimes sooner) make the player believe they are special, not once are they under the impression they're not going to make it. The academy in the mean time, keeps those players from pursuing other things like further education as they need to be fully committed to the club. So when you just get cut because you're not 'good enough' it is a devastating attack on the players mind but also years of dedication and lost time they could've spent properly furthering their education or a career.
@@gagereed486 Are you American by any chance? From what I know your system is that clubs take from college teams which keeps the focus on education. Scholarships etc, here the focus lies on the sport itself. So Academy/club generally do nothing with education. There are some clubs that have restrictions like AFC Ajax for example that if you don't get good grades you don't get to train. They also provide a school on their training grounds. But this again is outside of the European norm.
When I was young, Amanda Bynes was my favorite actress. She was so funny. I grew up watching The Amanda Show and her movies. "She's The Man" was my favorite movie for awhile, and honestly it's still funny as hell. Whenever I'm reminded about her, all I can think of is how much wasted talent there was. It is really tragic what happened. I genuinely do hope for her recovery and return to films one day, even if it would be awkward for a bit.
I dont understand how she could have fallen so far whilst eating the breakfast of champions, Diet Pepsi Powerade, Alcohol and dog food...? How is this possible?
im still confused ... is she EATING the dogfood herself?? i mean she had a dog later on .. but why is it on a plate then? maybe so she can give the dog treats more easily?? please tell me she isnt eating the dog food herself.... do people eat dog food???? wtf
Sounds like an ex-girlfriend of mine. She started off career driven and focused, would smoke weed from time-to-time, but eventually she started to wake-and-bake every single day and basically do nothing. Lost multiple jobs, stopped talking to her friends, lost all interest in doing anything or contributing to our relationship. As hard as I tried (and boy did I try!), she wouldn't snap out of it. Seemed to lose interest in everything. There was most likely an underlying major depression that went undiagnosed, and getting her to see a professional was completely out of the question. We eventually split and she moved back in with her parents. After that she dropped off of social media entirely and I have no idea if she got her life together or not. Really sad, but sometimes people spiral and there's nothing you or anyone else can do about it. 😟
Had a similar situation. Ive been speaking to a clinical psychologist every week for the last 7 years to deal with my own depression. Saw the signs with an ex and did everything I could to get her help. But if they don't want to get help then there's nothing you can do. Do everything you can to support but at the end of the day you have to look after yourself as your main priority.
@@tommcgovern2083 thanks for being one of the few in here who actually understands what it's like to go through that, and how difficult it can be to get someone to accept help.
This is what happens when parents overly shelter and helicopter their kid and control every aspect of their lives but completely fail to instill moral and philosophical guardrails, i.e. mental and emotional tools, to deal with the adversities of adulthood and being responsible for yourself in an adversarial unsheltered world. This isn’t even unique to child stars. Many children with controlling abusive parents end up this way to varying degrees.
Yeah. The problem with overly controlling parents is that the child could potentially never learn self control. Ironically being completely hands off or neglectful with the child has very similar results. It's important to figure out a balance.
I honestly don't get how you'd get bored in retirement, especially if you have gaming as a hobby. In my twenties I got severe burn out at work and took like 2 years off living off my savings, and pretty much just gamed the entire time. I had zero problems keeping myself entertained.
Imagine a MAJOR burn out on a game that you've payed 20 hours a day for 2 years. Or retiring on an island with no electronic devices at all. Or binge watching shows 24/7 without sleep and once it's finished --- now you have to deal with the enormous black hole in your heart, messed up sleep patterns that just don't give you a break, and completely disoriented to reality for weeks. Gamers, artists, and especially these actors are naturally people who can very easily "immerse themselves" into their own worlds, who can easily suspend disbelief, who cannot help but "day-dream" and "roleplay". We're all prime candidates for getting lost like this, just that you can still get immersed in games of your choice in retirement --- But Amanda's game IS her job, she's been playing that extremely high-immersion Role Play Game called "Highest-calibre professional movie acting" since childhood and without it... Yikes, I wouldn't doubt that it will hit her like a truck. The sad part is that being so young, she'd only realize this after she has stepped away. And let's be honest, for someone who enjoy RP in RPGs? You don't get more immersed than actual Hollywood level film making. It is like a "high" that will prevent her from getting joy from things like RPing in WoW taverns. She's basically... Stuck with a severe withdrawal from the substance that gave her a high since childhood, this will be much more devastating than an Adult actor who has also tread through ordinary life before. As for retirement, I'm most certain that I will NEVER retire as long as I live, I will employ myself if I have to. Some call it "work", I call it "a reminder that reality and myself have not abandoned each other yet". Because why else should I give a F to this certainly less than beautiful reality? I can use this time in reality to enjoy more beautiful worlds in games and art and books and movies, yes, but in order to do that I better make sure I can force myself to care about this "necessary evil" enough to have the motivation to go on...
@@aarondodo4076 Yea it's understandable in her situation or others already struggling with depression or substance abuse. I still stand by my statement for well-adjusted individuals, however. Being able to retire early is a privilege and any issues that arise is simply a first world problem. There is simply no way you can't find a healthy alternative in this day and age with the internet, ability to travel anywhere and to do almost anything.
This has nothing to do with retiring in your 20's. This has more to do with being extremely famous as a kid and then becoming an adult and realizing you don't want to be famous anymore but no matter what you do someone is around every corner to harass you, or invade your personal space.
I do drug testing. Adderall is not meth. It is Amphetamine, which is chemically similar to meth, but has more of a medical use. It’s like how hydrogen peroxide is chemically close to water, but one is safe to consume and the other isn’t and the only difference is one oxygen molecule. They have other ADHD meds that aren’t amphetamine based. If the medication helps you function better, so long as you aren’t abusing it, there’s nothing wrong with taking it. Just like how there’s nothing wrong with drinking alcohol, but when you are chronically abusing it, then it is a problem.
Asmon is right, The sociological impact that society can have on a female can be pretty impactful, and it does show with how many times she brought up appearance as she probably was as a young girl hyper fixated on that by the people around her who wanted to leech off of her. While she was kept in this level of delusion that she lived inside of her mind it slowly, like a festering rot took her mind, and she ran from it into drugs and alcohol, and this was the result.
ya living as a women now must be very stressful watching girls doing onlyfans making 100x more than what a doctor make , watching all these pretty fake girls online one insta thinking to themself that they are not pretty , i watched hundred of 10/10 girls ruining there face with surgery because they just cant accept how they look even tho they are as pretty as it gets
I remember Amanda Bynes from her time on All That, a kids sketch show on Nickelodeon in the 90s. It was crazy to see her fall so far. Kenan, also from All That, has gone on to be so successful.
This is honestly so sad. She got eaten up by her own insecurities and it only led more into a downwards spiral with all the drugs and stuff. Terrible. EDIT: Title of the vid is super dumb. Retirement has nothing to do with it.
It becomes a problem when you become a daily user. I used to work in a head shop and a lot of the customers would become aggressive when they wouldn’t be able to access either cannabis or synthetic cannabinoids - as soon as it would have such a hold on them that they can’t relax or chill without it - I would consider it a problem. There are exceptions where some people can function normally and are even more productive on pot, and it’s certainly a better alternative to SSRI’s for people with PTSD (for example). I think that if you also have an underlying mental illness (schizophrenia or bipolar disorder), it can be very damaging. Just like alcohol, most people can drink normally, but you’ve always got the dude who needs to chase it the next day.
Body dysmorphia and drug abuse are not rich people problems 😂 Guys, if you get a shot at financial independence, take it. Grab it with both hands and hold on as hard as you can.
Having grown up watching her on tv this is depressing af and sad to see/hear that this happened to her and I definitely noticed a pattern that didn’t look like it’d help her out mentally example dating thug like guys probably doesn’t help at all. Very sad
If you managed to get a large amount of money and want to retire young, keep doing something that is really fun for you. Keep doing it regularly. You could also do things where you don't get paid and do something for someone. The worse you could do is change your usual day. Like start drinking alcohol, going out on a weekday, etc.
Sounds like a lot of us and unresolved issues or trauma. When we have something to distract ourselves we can manage and be fine, but when you can’t, thoughts come flooding back. She’s no different in this case to everyone else.
My buddy got to fucked up at the bar didnt want to leave his new pickup wasnt going to drive and just asked if he could sleep in his truck. The bartender said no problem. It was February so he started his pickup and laid his seat back woke up a few hours later to a knock at the window getting arrested for dui. Even with the video of him not leaving the parking lot still got hit just for starting the vehicle.
Hot take. She would have been crazy regardless. Her problem didn't seem to be the fame it was how she reacted to the fame. A girl as pretty as her, sadly, would have gotten attention to a much higher level than most girls. This felt pretty inevitable to me because this is the story of almost every pretty girl that isn't given a good support system.
This also doesn't say that she has confirmed schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. And is probably not being treated for it and the substance abuse makes treatment not work as well as exacerbates her symptoms.
Always have some shit to do, retirement is fine at 24 just have a plan. Maybe stay away from hardcore drugs, and the people who want you to fuck with em
As someone who struggled with severe adderall addiction, I really feel bad for her. It’s a miserable, devastating drug to come off. I cannot imagine being a celebrity, having my face plastered all over tabloids during recovery. It’s honestly disgusting what the media does to these young actors
I'm actually surprised how people manage to get addicted to this stuff.Two or three experiences with those terrible withdrawal symptoms made me quit.Sure, it feels really good when you re on it, but damn, once its out of your system you feel like banging your head on the walls.
Retirement means free time to get into trouble. Being a millionaire means she has the money to get into trouble. People need a purpose, and a routine that keeps them busy.
Even the relatively "tame" drugs by our current standards, I'm trying to end all outside influences I don't need, not that it's easy or anything, precisely the opposite. Idk if others are perfectly able to manage their use but it feels like to me that any small amount starts you down a path and with access to other stuff I just don't know what'd happen, I'm perfectly happy living a mostly sober life and just not thinking about what's causing my problems, it's always up to me.
A job keeps you too busy to allow a nihilistic life outlook or lack of purpose to take hold. About 2 years after graduating college, I spent about a year and a half jobless, and I was fairly happy but ended up stagnating somewhat. I played more more video games, spent more time on TH-cam, etc. I didn't have the discipline to do what I really wanted to do, which was to create stuff. There was no excuse, just lack of motivation. So I went back to work but still long for that magic combination of purpose, free time, and self-discipline to do the things I truly want to do. I enjoy video games and other forms of entertainment, but it it's very difficult to balance those with things that are more fulfilling. Being productive through our own freedom to do whatever we want is very difficult. But yeah, addictions can mess a person up. They can take any notion of purpose and meaning and flush them down the drain.
She just went around calling people ugly, ruining her own life, being a nuisence. What did she expect would happen once she quit her job and gave up all ambition? Could have started her own business, found a hobby, done something with her life. Naaah lets do drugs and go to shit and then cry about it to hold onto that relevance. Her life ig. You want fame? Have it.
It's genuinely sad because underneath her attractiveness, she was a genuinely talented actress. I do believe that she can bring herself back from what she has been going through, but I think an important part of what allows her to shine through with her talents is that she needs "structure" in her life. She needs help with organizing her days and activities, she needs to keep herself busy with work and activities that keep her brain busy and constructive with less time to concentrate on destructive activities. I'm not saying she should become an obsessive workaholic either, but even if she had personal time that was structured like planned vacations or hobbies that required a structure of planning, organization, and activity, I really think it would just help her find a little more peace and comfort within herself. Living a life filled with structure like that is absolutely not for everyone, but I think with people who struggle in the way that Amanda has with her own life, I genuinely think it would help her regain so much control over her own life and allow her to feel more empowered within herself.
Her being a girl had a big impact on how she ended up addicted to drugs… she was hyper fixated on what the media said about her looks and that’s what led her to try adderall in the first place, to lose weight. It’s a cruel thing.
that has more to do with the fact she was a child star and got groomed into hollywood. if you somehow get rich as a normal person in your twenties chances are you will not get down that road...
I feel bad for her, she was an idol of mine growing up, me and a few kids used to always talk about her show on the bus. She went through some rough stuff and it is sad she has not pulled herself up or had anyone help her.
Yea, the weed is a gateway drug to everything that going downhill from there... Should never be socially accepted and actively discourage just like cigarette.
Cannabis can trigger immediate schizophrenia in people who are genetically inclined to develop it. Considering her life went to hell immediately after smoking cannabis, and because her life continued to be psychotic even after stopping drug use, she probably has untreated bipolar or schizophrenia. Cannabis doesn't cause these symptoms in the vast majority of the population.
I think that kind of discounts the benefits marijuana can have. I think people are too casual about it and the possible effects it can have on them, but it can also be really helpful for certain people. I have severe insomnia (I used to average like 3-4 hours of sleep at night for years, despite following all of the recommendations for improving sleep quality), and the only thing that helps me sleep outside of stuff like ambien (which is MUCH worse than weed in regards to side effects) is marijuana. I went from being so sleep deprived my body was struggling to function, to the point where I dropped to 85 lbs due to my stomach refusing to function, to sleeping 8 hours a night and being able to drive, hold a steady job, take classes, and so on. and honestly, alcohol is a lot worse. It can actually kill you, and while smoking weed too much isn't good for you, it's nowhere near as bad as alcohol addiction. I like beer as much as the next person, but logically if we're going after addictive substances for the danger they pose to people, alcohol should be first lol
Amanda Bynes lost her career by being shamed of her weight, which is fucking Ironic because nowadays they celebrate that shit like they just beat the British in bunker hill or something lmao,
8:15 - By no means am I defending people who commit or have committed DUI's, however I want to mention if you have never used a breathalyzer to understand how your body absorbs the alcohol you drink, you will certainly be surprised how fast the 0.08 (The typical legal limit in the US) comes up after a beer and a half, but the person is completely still fully functional and even may not feel any of the effects of the beer. Let alone the 0.06 for a DWI. The point is, it's almost impossible to have two beers (Maybe even one for people on the small side), let alone hard liquor and still be under the legal limit, so getting a DUI isn't a perfect indicator for negligence as in many cases it is a situation of ignorance. I know nothing of Amanda's story, but it's possible she had 2 beers, could do a handstand for 20 seconds, play proper chess, and still be blowing above the legal limit. Do I think that's the case for this one, by the looks of her hotel room, nope. I own a breathalyzer which we use after a night out if anyone drove just to logically ensure that someone is legally okay to drive, rather than their lack of physical impedance or count of drinks. I have never had a DUI/DWI, so it has worked for me and friends thus far.
She was a well-known/prominent Nickelodeon child star in the 90s and early 2000s. She got her start at a comedy club before the age of 10 and had her own television show named after her by the age of 12. You didn’t need to watch television at that time to know who she was, honestly. She was just known to the majority of people based off name alone for the longest period of time.
I grew up watching Amanda, with her funny personality and always thought she is gorgeous inside and out. She became bored and depressed. Made mistakes like the rest of us because why? She's human too. So instead of making the problem worse by antagonizing and criticizing what she already knows, let's support her in the idea that it's OK to fall down and get back up. We all fall down sometimes.
I mean retiring that young leads to roughly 60+ years of nothing. It’s so important to keep a job to keep you active mentally and possibly physically . I see it all the time. Stay at home mothers who very late in life have regrets of not doing more in their life time, not having an occupation, etc. Also very important to ward away dementia.

@@namethefifth7315 The main reason why people start doing drugs are either they feel depressed and wish to experience some form of enjoyment or they are heavily pressured by individuals in their social groups to try it out. All it takes is one trip to start a craving.
Retiring early is not the problem, it's having "no sense of purpose" that is the problem. It sucks, but I noticed if a person doesn't have some sort of work or purpose in their life, they start to cause problems. It's similar to "Negative attention is better than no attention." Some people can have a normal, happy, life if they retire early because they fill their time with hobbies and volunteer work. But some people need a job or else they have absolutely nothing else to do in their life. They can drink and do dr*gs every day because, without a job, they don't need to be sober the next day and they can afford it.
Adderall doesn’t help you lose weight, it curbs appetite for a few hours but when it wears off the hunger comes back worse. And you can’t just take it again to curb the resurgent hunger because the tolerance builds up and the drug doesn’t curb hunger as well until you take a break from it. During the break you gain all the weight back. Also it’s important to point out that adderall is not meth. They have different chemical structures and adderall has a valid medical use. It can really help people and equating it to meth creates a stigma that stops people from seeking help when they should.
People talk about body dismorphia but this girl had it bad. She was a great looking girl but sadly she followed what she thought would be a trend of taking aderol and cascaded from there. The dance on the treadmill and walking in the street without shoes while doing that dance really showed she wasn't seeing reality anymore.
Supreme court law in MN was amended to change DUIs that involve the use of a prescription drug. Previously you could be arrested for taking a Rx that a doctor gave you. That is no longer the case. I can't tell if that is horrible or not as the warning on the drug still limits the use of heavy machinery so it is inherently dangerous. Thats the best I can do on the DUI 'not being terrible'
It worries me that she had to stay active with something constantly to avoid falling into these never ending downward spirals. But in the end, she was just an actor on a stage, she earned a lot of money but i'd wager that the people who ran the shows ultimately earned far more.
I had a girlfriend who was a coke fiend. Got her into rehab - a number of times - and more or less straightened her out but fuck it was a lot of stress and chaos over a lot of years. Couldnt handle it in the end and my trust in her was completely blown so i ended it. People with drug issues and mental health issues (my first wife was bipolar - rinse and repeat, but different) seriously require pretty much full time supervision. They simply cant control themselves - which isnt their fault. But that lack of the ability to exercise sensible self control is destructive to them and those around them.
Lmao suuuure, "never retire in your 20s". If I had the financial capacity to retire right now, you can bet your ass that I would be happy about it and never look back.
A DUI is bad, but I feel like Asmon does not realize how normalized and common it is in America. 1 in 5 American adults have driven drunk within the last 12 months. 1 in 10 American adults have a DUI.
The only reason they always mention "it started off with smoking marijuana" is because it always seems to be the stepping point for using other adictive substances. Which isn't the fault of the plant, it's the person themselves. There are plenty of people who responsibly smoke. I myself hate it. I cant stand the smell, and I don't like any form of smoking, whether it's tobacco or something else. But I've seen plenty of normal people still be able to function properly, and others do a complete nose dive in their life. It's all about the person.
I smoke weed but never transit into anything else than weed. You're right, it's the person. The trick is you have to have self-control and boundaries. I never drink more than 3 cans of beer or 3 glasses of wine. Boundaries and discipline is the key.

Mate, i don't think retiring in 20s is the issue here...
Well if you wake up and have work To do it at least for most People stop wake and bake
Yeah every time I see one of these Sunny videos on here I just know it's going to be 50% interesting, 50% total BS
None of her problems have to do with being retired or rich.
being rich and retired makes all those problems a lot worse tho.
@yeageristfritz how exactly? Poor drug addicts who need to work to make a living have it better off?
Youre right, it was herself that is to blame
@@dankuya i never said anything about poor drug addicts... but if you have all the money you need and have 0 work responsibilities, its going to be much harder to keep yourself in check. That would take a lot of self-discipline that many of these child actors never had.
@@yeageristfritzyeah the issue is that they were child actors who never developed proper life skills and self control, not that they are rich and don't have to work. Its not hard for a mentally stable person to not go off the deep end like this with or without the money.

I was medically retired from the military at 27. The problem is, if you’re not working you need to find something to fill your time, otherwise life can get pretty boring. It would be very easy to fall into substance abuse.
Depression/traumas, when treated poorly (or just straight up untreated), can and will get bad enough to a point where activities that should free up your mind will actually get you more anxious (can't disassociate them from traumas or takes a stupid amount of willpower to start. Or both)
Just to say that in some cases, hobbies won't help you at all (and might even do the reverse) unfortunately
We don't know what happened with Amanda at all, we only saw the consequences. Maybe it was just a lack of hobbies that spiraled out of control, maybe it was something entirely unrelated.
But seeing that she went to the gym or just went outside to do random stuff. Heck, some clips implies she has/had a dog so that should replace some boring times. I wouldn't be surprised there is way more to it than just a lack of hobbies. At the end of the day, we'll never get to know the full story of why she went down this badly
Insider tip: If you need something to fill your time, play wow classic hardcore.
@@arcticbeak gaming is unironically a good retirement hobby, keeps you thinking and invested in something rather than turning to alcohol or drugs to pass the time
Thats why we got WoW baby
so, what did you fill the time with? this is a very interesting problematic! i a facing the same problem for diffenrent reasons...i guess....
She was also part of the whole Nickelodeon crap with Dan Schneider. So imagine what all that did to her head on top of all the other stuff with her self hating her appearance. It's sad that it happened.

One child star that retired early and I think came out well that had to go through some bullshit and horrible rumors was Frankie Muniz (Malcom In The Middle).
There was an episode of SteveO's podcast where he talks about it and seems like a chill guy just living his life as a race car driver now.
Men will literally become NASCAR drivers instead of going to therapy.
Oh man, I miss Amanda Bynes. I know there were always those rumors about that creepy Dan Schneider during her Nickelodeon days. A lawyer who had explained some of his interactions with her over the course of 11 years revealed on his podcast that she had told him that she was R'd, forced to end the pregnancy, and had to continue to work with the person who did it. Also, she had said that acting is how she got through life. It was easier to be characters than herself. If one of the versions got hurt, it didn't matter because there were all of these other versions to keep her safe.

Saw a fascinating vod about european soccer academies and how 90% of the students don't get to be signed by clubs because they simply aren't good enough. The aftermath on that realization to some of those kids even led up to them taking their own lives. And the video was suggesting either some laws be implemented for age restrictions or academies should take responsibility for and provide alternative career paths and education. I mean as asmon said maybe this wasn't because she was a child actor but as he also said a lot of child actors do end up like this.
That’s insane
Someone decides they want to pursue a soccer career, they aren’t good enough to play, so the club has to hire them anyway or use their own resources to find them an alternative career?
No
@@gagereed486 It goes both way, an academy, by picking a youth player (these generally already start around 10 years old sometimes sooner) make the player believe they are special, not once are they under the impression they're not going to make it. The academy in the mean time, keeps those players from pursuing other things like further education as they need to be fully committed to the club. So when you just get cut because you're not 'good enough' it is a devastating attack on the players mind but also years of dedication and lost time they could've spent properly furthering their education or a career.
@@gagereed486 ah yeah forgot to mention it was about kids being recruited from as young as 5
@@timovandenheuvel9502 maybe I misunderstand the relationship between player and the “club” or “academy”
@@gagereed486 Are you American by any chance? From what I know your system is that clubs take from college teams which keeps the focus on education. Scholarships etc, here the focus lies on the sport itself. So Academy/club generally do nothing with education. There are some clubs that have restrictions like AFC Ajax for example that if you don't get good grades you don't get to train. They also provide a school on their training grounds. But this again is outside of the European norm.
When I was young, Amanda Bynes was my favorite actress. She was so funny. I grew up watching The Amanda Show and her movies. "She's The Man" was my favorite movie for awhile, and honestly it's still funny as hell. Whenever I'm reminded about her, all I can think of is how much wasted talent there was. It is really tragic what happened. I genuinely do hope for her recovery and return to films one day, even if it would be awkward for a bit.
I dont understand how she could have fallen so far whilst eating the breakfast of champions, Diet Pepsi Powerade, Alcohol and dog food...? How is this possible?
When I am excelling at work, my coworkers say "guess someone had their dog food this morning!!"
It was the diet Pepsi
🐕
It was the aspartame induced tumour that caused her downfall 😢
im still confused ... is she EATING the dogfood herself?? i mean she had a dog later on .. but why is it on a plate then? maybe so she can give the dog treats more easily?? please tell me she isnt eating the dog food herself.... do people eat dog food???? wtf
I retired at 25. It's pretty easy. All you need to do is enlist in the Army and get badly injured.
Retiring early is a goal to strive for. Once attained, a new goal must be in place or your life loses purpose
SunnyV’s misleading titles remind me of that kid is school, that would exaggerate stories, to make himself sound more interesting than he actually is.
I've known Amanda for about 10 years. She was forced to volunteer at a homeless shelter I volunteered at. Nice girl, but a little aloof and naive.
Sounds like an ex-girlfriend of mine. She started off career driven and focused, would smoke weed from time-to-time, but eventually she started to wake-and-bake every single day and basically do nothing. Lost multiple jobs, stopped talking to her friends, lost all interest in doing anything or contributing to our relationship. As hard as I tried (and boy did I try!), she wouldn't snap out of it. Seemed to lose interest in everything. There was most likely an underlying major depression that went undiagnosed, and getting her to see a professional was completely out of the question. We eventually split and she moved back in with her parents. After that she dropped off of social media entirely and I have no idea if she got her life together or not. Really sad, but sometimes people spiral and there's nothing you or anyone else can do about it. 😟
Sounds like homie was real supportive 😂😂😂☠️☠️☠️
“Nothing you Can do” way to wash Your hands.
@@quickschweezy Tell me you have zero life experience without telling me you do.
Had a similar situation. Ive been speaking to a clinical psychologist every week for the last 7 years to deal with my own depression. Saw the signs with an ex and did everything I could to get her help. But if they don't want to get help then there's nothing you can do. Do everything you can to support but at the end of the day you have to look after yourself as your main priority.
@@tommcgovern2083 thanks for being one of the few in here who actually understands what it's like to go through that, and how difficult it can be to get someone to accept help.
This is what happens when parents overly shelter and helicopter their kid and control every aspect of their lives but completely fail to instill moral and philosophical guardrails, i.e. mental and emotional tools, to deal with the adversities of adulthood and being responsible for yourself in an adversarial unsheltered world. This isn’t even unique to child stars. Many children with controlling abusive parents end up this way to varying degrees.
Yeah. The problem with overly controlling parents is that the child could potentially never learn self control. Ironically being completely hands off or neglectful with the child has very similar results. It's important to figure out a balance.
I honestly don't get how you'd get bored in retirement, especially if you have gaming as a hobby. In my twenties I got severe burn out at work and took like 2 years off living off my savings, and pretty much just gamed the entire time. I had zero problems keeping myself entertained.
Imagine a MAJOR burn out on a game that you've payed 20 hours a day for 2 years. Or retiring on an island with no electronic devices at all. Or binge watching shows 24/7 without sleep and once it's finished --- now you have to deal with the enormous black hole in your heart, messed up sleep patterns that just don't give you a break, and completely disoriented to reality for weeks. Gamers, artists, and especially these actors are naturally people who can very easily "immerse themselves" into their own worlds, who can easily suspend disbelief, who cannot help but "day-dream" and "roleplay". We're all prime candidates for getting lost like this, just that you can still get immersed in games of your choice in retirement --- But Amanda's game IS her job, she's been playing that extremely high-immersion Role Play Game called "Highest-calibre professional movie acting" since childhood and without it... Yikes, I wouldn't doubt that it will hit her like a truck. The sad part is that being so young, she'd only realize this after she has stepped away. And let's be honest, for someone who enjoy RP in RPGs? You don't get more immersed than actual Hollywood level film making. It is like a "high" that will prevent her from getting joy from things like RPing in WoW taverns. She's basically... Stuck with a severe withdrawal from the substance that gave her a high since childhood, this will be much more devastating than an Adult actor who has also tread through ordinary life before. As for retirement, I'm most certain that I will NEVER retire as long as I live, I will employ myself if I have to. Some call it "work", I call it "a reminder that reality and myself have not abandoned each other yet". Because why else should I give a F to this certainly less than beautiful reality? I can use this time in reality to enjoy more beautiful worlds in games and art and books and movies, yes, but in order to do that I better make sure I can force myself to care about this "necessary evil" enough to have the motivation to go on...
@@aarondodo4076 Yea it's understandable in her situation or others already struggling with depression or substance abuse. I still stand by my statement for well-adjusted individuals, however. Being able to retire early is a privilege and any issues that arise is simply a first world problem. There is simply no way you can't find a healthy alternative in this day and age with the internet, ability to travel anywhere and to do almost anything.
This has nothing to do with retiring in your 20's. This has more to do with being extremely famous as a kid and then becoming an adult and realizing you don't want to be famous anymore but no matter what you do someone is around every corner to harass you, or invade your personal space.
I do drug testing. Adderall is not meth. It is Amphetamine, which is chemically similar to meth, but has more of a medical use. It’s like how hydrogen peroxide is chemically close to water, but one is safe to consume and the other isn’t and the only difference is one oxygen molecule.
They have other ADHD meds that aren’t amphetamine based. If the medication helps you function better, so long as you aren’t abusing it, there’s nothing wrong with taking it. Just like how there’s nothing wrong with drinking alcohol, but when you are chronically abusing it, then it is a problem.
Asmon is right, The sociological impact that society can have on a female can be pretty impactful, and it does show with how many times she brought up appearance as she probably was as a young girl hyper fixated on that by the people around her who wanted to leech off of her. While she was kept in this level of delusion that she lived inside of her mind it slowly, like a festering rot took her mind, and she ran from it into drugs and alcohol, and this was the result.
Women help create that culture
ya living as a women now must be very stressful watching girls doing onlyfans making 100x more than what a doctor make , watching all these pretty fake girls online one insta thinking to themself that they are not pretty , i watched hundred of 10/10 girls ruining there face with surgery because they just cant accept how they look even tho they are as pretty as it gets

It becomes a problem when you become a daily user. I used to work in a head shop and a lot of the customers would become aggressive when they wouldn’t be able to access either cannabis or synthetic cannabinoids - as soon as it would have such a hold on them that they can’t relax or chill without it - I would consider it a problem. There are exceptions where some people can function normally and are even more productive on pot, and it’s certainly a better alternative to SSRI’s for people with PTSD (for example). I think that if you also have an underlying mental illness (schizophrenia or bipolar disorder), it can be very damaging. Just like alcohol, most people can drink normally, but you’ve always got the dude who needs to chase it the next day.

If you managed to get a large amount of money and want to retire young, keep doing something that is really fun for you. Keep doing it regularly. You could also do things where you don't get paid and do something for someone.
The worse you could do is change your usual day. Like start drinking alcohol, going out on a weekday, etc.
Sounds like a lot of us and unresolved issues or trauma. When we have something to distract ourselves we can manage and be fine, but when you can’t, thoughts come flooding back. She’s no different in this case to everyone else.
My buddy got to fucked up at the bar didnt want to leave his new pickup wasnt going to drive and just asked if he could sleep in his truck. The bartender said no problem. It was February so he started his pickup and laid his seat back woke up a few hours later to a knock at the window getting arrested for dui. Even with the video of him not leaving the parking lot still got hit just for starting the vehicle.
Hot take. She would have been crazy regardless. Her problem didn't seem to be the fame it was how she reacted to the fame. A girl as pretty as her, sadly, would have gotten attention to a much higher level than most girls. This felt pretty inevitable to me because this is the story of almost every pretty girl that isn't given a good support system.
Been a long time since i didn't laugh that much at one of your video! thank your asmon!
This also doesn't say that she has confirmed schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. And is probably not being treated for it and the substance abuse makes treatment not work as well as exacerbates her symptoms.

As someone who struggled with severe adderall addiction, I really feel bad for her. It’s a miserable, devastating drug to come off. I cannot imagine being a celebrity, having my face plastered all over tabloids during recovery. It’s honestly disgusting what the media does to these young actors
I'm actually surprised how people manage to get addicted to this stuff.Two or three experiences with those terrible withdrawal symptoms made me quit.Sure, it feels really good when you re on it, but damn, once its out of your system you feel like banging your head on the walls.
Retirement means free time to get into trouble. Being a millionaire means she has the money to get into trouble. People need a purpose, and a routine that keeps them busy.
Even the relatively "tame" drugs by our current standards, I'm trying to end all outside influences I don't need, not that it's easy or anything, precisely the opposite. Idk if others are perfectly able to manage their use but it feels like to me that any small amount starts you down a path and with access to other stuff I just don't know what'd happen, I'm perfectly happy living a mostly sober life and just not thinking about what's causing my problems, it's always up to me.
A job keeps you too busy to allow a nihilistic life outlook or lack of purpose to take hold. About 2 years after graduating college, I spent about a year and a half jobless, and I was fairly happy but ended up stagnating somewhat. I played more more video games, spent more time on TH-cam, etc. I didn't have the discipline to do what I really wanted to do, which was to create stuff. There was no excuse, just lack of motivation. So I went back to work but still long for that magic combination of purpose, free time, and self-discipline to do the things I truly want to do. I enjoy video games and other forms of entertainment, but it it's very difficult to balance those with things that are more fulfilling. Being productive through our own freedom to do whatever we want is very difficult.
But yeah, addictions can mess a person up. They can take any notion of purpose and meaning and flush them down the drain.
If she had discovered WoW, she wouldn't need drugs.
Hahaha this is truth
She just went around calling people ugly, ruining her own life, being a nuisence. What did she expect would happen once she quit her job and gave up all ambition? Could have started her own business, found a hobby, done something with her life. Naaah lets do drugs and go to shit and then cry about it to hold onto that relevance. Her life ig. You want fame? Have it.
It's genuinely sad because underneath her attractiveness, she was a genuinely talented actress.
I do believe that she can bring herself back from what she has been going through, but I think an important part of what allows her to shine through with her talents is that she needs "structure" in her life.
She needs help with organizing her days and activities, she needs to keep herself busy with work and activities that keep her brain busy and constructive with less time to concentrate on destructive activities. I'm not saying she should become an obsessive workaholic either, but even if she had personal time that was structured like planned vacations or hobbies that required a structure of planning, organization, and activity, I really think it would just help her find a little more peace and comfort within herself.
Living a life filled with structure like that is absolutely not for everyone, but I think with people who struggle in the way that Amanda has with her own life, I genuinely think it would help her regain so much control over her own life and allow her to feel more empowered within herself.

Her being a girl had a big impact on how she ended up addicted to drugs… she was hyper fixated on what the media said about her looks and that’s what led her to try adderall in the first place, to lose weight. It’s a cruel thing.

Should never be socially accepted and actively discourage just like cigarette.
Cannabis can trigger immediate schizophrenia in people who are genetically inclined to develop it. Considering her life went to hell immediately after smoking cannabis, and because her life continued to be psychotic even after stopping drug use, she probably has untreated bipolar or schizophrenia.
Cannabis doesn't cause these symptoms in the vast majority of the population.
I think that kind of discounts the benefits marijuana can have. I think people are too casual about it and the possible effects it can have on them, but it can also be really helpful for certain people. I have severe insomnia (I used to average like 3-4 hours of sleep at night for years, despite following all of the recommendations for improving sleep quality), and the only thing that helps me sleep outside of stuff like ambien (which is MUCH worse than weed in regards to side effects) is marijuana. I went from being so sleep deprived my body was struggling to function, to the point where I dropped to 85 lbs due to my stomach refusing to function, to sleeping 8 hours a night and being able to drive, hold a steady job, take classes, and so on.
and honestly, alcohol is a lot worse. It can actually kill you, and while smoking weed too much isn't good for you, it's nowhere near as bad as alcohol addiction. I like beer as much as the next person, but logically if we're going after addictive substances for the danger they pose to people, alcohol should be first lol

8:15 - By no means am I defending people who commit or have committed DUI's, however I want to mention if you have never used a breathalyzer to understand how your body absorbs the alcohol you drink, you will certainly be surprised how fast the 0.08 (The typical legal limit in the US) comes up after a beer and a half, but the person is completely still fully functional and even may not feel any of the effects of the beer.
Let alone the 0.06 for a DWI. The point is, it's almost impossible to have two beers (Maybe even one for people on the small side), let alone hard liquor and still be under the legal limit, so getting a DUI isn't a perfect indicator for negligence as in many cases it is a situation of ignorance. I know nothing of Amanda's story, but it's possible she had 2 beers, could do a handstand for 20 seconds, play proper chess, and still be blowing above the legal limit. Do I think that's the case for this one, by the looks of her hotel room, nope.
I own a breathalyzer which we use after a night out if anyone drove just to logically ensure that someone is legally okay to drive, rather than their lack of physical impedance or count of drinks. I have never had a DUI/DWI, so it has worked for me and friends thus far.

Stay at home mothers who very late in life have regrets of not doing more in their life time, not having an occupation, etc. Also very important to ward away dementia.
thats not retirement issue, thats an iq issue
Because people with high iq’s don’t become addicts….
@@timmybee3669but they normally don't though. If your a smart person your not gonna start doing it to begin with. Not saying smart people don't become addics but they are certinly gonna be more likely if your stuipid
Most of the smartest people in the history of the world were addicted to something…cocaine, speed(like meth or Ritalin and adderal) and don’t get me started on alcohol, opiates, weed or hallucinogens…they all don’t end up walking the street shoeless…
@@namethefifth7315 The main reason why people start doing drugs are either they feel depressed and wish to experience some form of enjoyment or they are heavily pressured by individuals in their social groups to try it out. All it takes is one trip to start a craving.
Retiring early is not the problem, it's having "no sense of purpose" that is the problem. It sucks, but I noticed if a person doesn't have some sort of work or purpose in their life, they start to cause problems. It's similar to "Negative attention is better than no attention." Some people can have a normal, happy, life if they retire early because they fill their time with hobbies and volunteer work. But some people need a job or else they have absolutely nothing else to do in their life. They can drink and do dr*gs every day because, without a job, they don't need to be sober the next day and they can afford it.
Adderall doesn’t help you lose weight, it curbs appetite for a few hours but when it wears off the hunger comes back worse. And you can’t just take it again to curb the resurgent hunger because the tolerance builds up and the drug doesn’t curb hunger as well until you take a break from it. During the break you gain all the weight back.
Also it’s important to point out that adderall is not meth. They have different chemical structures and adderall has a valid medical use. It can really help people and equating it to meth creates a stigma that stops people from seeking help when they should.
How am I this early?
How did I reply to this comment?
How did
My girlfriend has met her and said she didn’t even own a car and was acting like a junkie. Crazy shit
there's an old Brazilian philosofy that goes by: "an empity mind is the Devil's Workshop". and I think that fits really well here.
People talk about body dismorphia but this girl had it bad. She was a great looking girl but sadly she followed what she thought would be a trend of taking aderol and cascaded from there.
The dance on the treadmill and walking in the street without shoes while doing that dance really showed she wasn't seeing reality anymore.
Supreme court law in MN was amended to change DUIs that involve the use of a prescription drug. Previously you could be arrested for taking a Rx that a doctor gave you. That is no longer the case. I can't tell if that is horrible or not as the warning on the drug still limits the use of heavy machinery so it is inherently dangerous. Thats the best I can do on the DUI 'not being terrible'
It worries me that she had to stay active with something constantly to avoid falling into these never ending downward spirals.
But in the end, she was just an actor on a stage, she earned a lot of money but i'd wager that the people who ran the shows ultimately earned far more.
I had a girlfriend who was a coke fiend. Got her into rehab - a number of times - and more or less straightened her out but fuck it was a lot of stress and chaos over a lot of years. Couldnt handle it in the end and my trust in her was completely blown so i ended it. People with drug issues and mental health issues (my first wife was bipolar - rinse and repeat, but different) seriously require pretty much full time supervision. They simply cant control themselves - which isnt their fault. But that lack of the ability to exercise sensible self control is destructive to them and those around them.
Lmao suuuure, "never retire in your 20s". If I had the financial capacity to retire right now, you can bet your ass that I would be happy about it and never look back.
A DUI is bad, but I feel like Asmon does not realize how normalized and common it is in America.
1 in 5 American adults have driven drunk within the last 12 months.
1 in 10 American adults have a DUI.
The only reason they always mention "it started off with smoking marijuana" is because it always seems to be the stepping point for using other adictive substances. Which isn't the fault of the plant, it's the person themselves. There are plenty of people who responsibly smoke. I myself hate it. I cant stand the smell, and I don't like any form of smoking, whether it's tobacco or something else. But I've seen plenty of normal people still be able to function properly, and others do a complete nose dive in their life. It's all about the person.
I smoke weed but never transit into anything else than weed. You're right, it's the person. The trick is you have to have self-control and boundaries. I never drink more than 3 cans of beer or 3 glasses of wine. Boundaries and discipline is the key.

imagine if Amanda had the option to become a streamer when she quit acting.
