@@thetonycam3944 why ?

[@johnnymartinez478]

I have a mom just like him and they are a lot to deal with

[@bouutiquems3578]

Based on what Bam said, I think the problem is that he never had to face the consequences of his own actions. He never reached that point where he thought "Wow I really should clean this place up. It's a real mess. I really shouldn't have thrown paint everywhere and let my friends squat at my place. This is going to cost me a lot of time and money. What a headache." That would allow him to realise actions = consequences. Stupid choices = headache later on. It would force him to grow up. Instead, when he completely trashes his own home for a "cool picture", he has a mother who swoops in and fixes everything for him. And he takes it entirely for granted. Like "kthxbye" Add to that he also has a wife who thinks he's so incapable of taking care of himself that she has to drive to him to bring him food. She probably cleans up after him too. He was never really allowed to fix his own damn messes and his own damn mistakes. That's probably why he's such a man child at 39. Ladies, as hard as it is, try letting him fix his own mistakes and lay in the bed he made. And if decides to "go into the light" then at least you tried both ways and did your best. Hope he gets it together before his son is old enough to rregister what a mess he is.

[@gstylez0107]

You nailed it completely.. Unfortunately nobody's going to do that, he's likely going to continue on this path until he's dead.. A lifetime of money and time spent with enablers and yes men have made him too weak to handle life..

[@gabrielorville821]

Underrated comment "That's probably why he's such a man child at 39". No one has let him feel the need to be self-reliant, and the point he would feel a compromise too much (friends or money) is way to high because of his means and lifestyle.

[@___blaggard999___8]

He has pychosis or how ever it's spelled, he's not retarded but he's not in control. It's easy for us to say what's wrong and how to change but he's an addict mixed with mental problems, he needs professional help. He's had to live with consequences his whole life do something stupid live with the pain. But now the amphetamines are telling him I'll make the pain go away, but heavy terms and conditions apply.

There will not be a light where he is going.

[@QueenaCobra]

When he said “ i begged the pain to come back, to feel something” omg 😭 Thats something i wish more understood about depression. Most of the time you feel sad and you will have a good day but there comes a point when your depression gets to the absolute worst possible. It can get to when you feel absolutely nothing. It’s in those moments that people end up committing suicide. It doesn’t matter how happy they seem or how better they were doing. When your depression reaches that point that you no longer feel a single thing that’s when you become your most vulnerable. That’s when all of those bad thoughts that you have had about doing something to yourself finally become a reality because you no longer feel scared or fear or sadness.

[@kaylavelez1424]

Your wife loves you and fears for your life. Often times, when you think they're being annoying its bc they love you so much, but they cant love the addiction out of you. You have to choose to love yourself, they cant do it for you. You have to want so much for your son that you're gonna wanna be the one to give it to him. Prayers to you and your family.

Or meth

[@nickmehler9822]

And meth....

[@eriklarson4082]

Although what you are saying about head injuries is correct, in Bams case I'm afraid it's much more than just that. I've been watching and following Bam since before he was on Jackass and when he was just making the cky videos and was a popular pro skater. I am also a person that has gone through both head injuries and dual diagnosis treatment centers ( drug addiction in conjunction with mental health issues) so I'm at least a little knowledgeable on the subject. One of Bams biggest problems is him not taking responsibility for his actions and finding a way to blame others. Just look how he is here by blaming his mom and wife. The first step in recovery of any kind is admitting that you have a problem. Despite Bam having multiple d.u.I.s and having already been to rehab many times and not completing a single one he still doesn't think that he has a problem. None of that is a secret , Bam had a radio show on xm radio called "radio bam" from around 2005 to 2012 and he was a party animal since the beginning of that. There are old episodes on KZbin. There is also a new podcast called "The Novak and Frantz show" which are or were Bams friends that were also on Radio Bam and they have a whole episode dedicated to "why is bam in rehab" and they talk about all the crazy stuff that went on behind the scenes. Check it out if you want to get a better look at Bams history.

Bam needs to learn some self control and coping mechanisms, because when everyone else is the problem, then who’s the real problem?!

@Joe Martin Yeah she was but shouldn't the pope be prepared to encounter evil like that, and withold anger? Anger is an evil spirit that inhabits the body, that dude has evil spirits for sure man. Jesse Peterson taught me that. Anger is very abnormal for a man to have, all emotions come from the woman. It's no surprise to me why people are so skeptical of that dude. That wasn't supposed to be the point of Jesus' teachings, to make a old man wear a wizard suit and walk around being worshipped by people. That's preposterous in my eyes. God's eyes too. The guy is fundamentally a fraud, the anger thing is just a minor symptom.

The fact that he is crying means he feels somthing and can get better , it's when you don't cry and become numb that's harder to treat .

[@caporegime1453]

"I have never had a concussion but I gotten knocked out a bunch". Straight ignorance

[@martinpinon4376]

It's either me or the scante bam Bam:I'm going with scante!

[@deborahgordon2512]

He needs to go to rehab and be left alone while he receives counseling. He needs major help before he can be a son, husband or father again.

[@TheBadioo]

It’s sucks Bc bam reminds me of my dead friend. If he was still alive I would be super deep into trying to help him back to being normal. Nothing can help these people other than themselves.

[@JustJenn00]

Notice how he blames his wife and mother for all of his problems. Grow up already Bam.

[@shayshay7154]

That's not what he's doing. Phil literally said he become so frustrated, ran out of coping skills, that he is very much impatient when nothing goes his way. Let alone people not respecting his boundaries.

[@mnewby82]

He really love his son. I really do hope that he gets better fast. I'm really happy that Dr. Phil is really listening to Bam and being patient enough to see his frustration

[@sarcasticklutz]

i totally understand what bam is goin thru...keep ur chin up...

[@itiswhatitis9500]

Exactly, everyone’s saying he’s being over dramatic but it’s really not hard to comprehend...

[@barb7124]

Traumatic brain injury can creep up over time after concussions and cause many psychological symptoms. I hope Bam gets help and finds happiness again.

[@babygoose8716]

He has got to stop putting the blame on everyone else and I know that’s easier said than done.

BLAME IT ON AKON

Loved Bam for a long, long time. My brother and I spent a summer watching Viva La Bam on dvd nonstop. I grew up watching him. I hope he finds his peace

[@xxsuperxxxxsammxx841]

Bam's situation is HEARTBREAKING. I hope he gets better. I really do. I hope he figures it out. Love you Bam, loved you since Jackass , and still love you now. You're real fans will continue to SUPPORT you 1000000%!!!

[@jackm5210]

I can't believe Im commenting on a Dr. Phil video 🔥

[@CannagirlGettadab]

"I've never had a concussion but I've been knocked out before a bunch and I like it" - this sounds like a Charlie Kelly quote☀️

[@AssassinKillua15]

To me it's interesting that he says he wants to be left alone and be at peace yet posts all of the insanity that he does on Instagram. Either you want to be private or you don't. Even arguing with randos in the comment section...yet he asks for people to stop aggravating him about his behavior/addiction/sobriety.

[@MsMoxxi]

I feel so bad for him. I just wanna give him a hug.

[@jackiedanielsss]

Is no one gonna comment on the fact that he has “rules” for his mom and wife?

[@aphysique]

yep...Rules...hahah

[@jackiegrant6410]

Bam,I buried my son,due to depression. It's been 3yrs.since I found him with a gun shot to his head and couldn't save him. Live,for you and your son! You get 1 shot and there can be due overs. Keep trying you will get this,I have faith you. Don't give up. My son was 22yrs.old. Kick negative out of your LIFE! Be safe and BEST WISHES💞

[@firefly-fu3ce]

What an absolute mess. He always puts himself first. Even now he has a baby it's still me, me, me. My sympathy for him is gone.

[@lindsaysheffield]

600firefly1 you don’t seem to understand mental health problems, (potential) brain injuries, etc. He is clearly in crisis.

[@papillonstudio6169]

@@lindsaysheffield it's not necessary to sympathize with someone in a mental health crisis when they caused it themselves.

[@lindsaysheffield]

Papillon Studio Okay, that’s fair enough. I’m hoping once he gets help he will recognize that and make amends, kind of like everyone keeps mentioning with Steve-O.

[@nowirehangers2815]

@@lindsaysheffield hes not going to accept help while blaming everyone else

[@Hetfield47]

Hang in there Bam. We still need you here man. Live for your kiddo. Much love and respect.

[@eringoode2681]

His brain is scrambled big time

[@efp722]

I work in West Chester and he often comes to my work. He was here for a couple of hours right before all of this. He was an absolute mess. Wouldn't talk to anyone. Went through a whole ream of printer paper writing notes to our staff- it was the only way he would communicate. Really hope he gets the help he needs.

[@georgethomas5318]

I feel like this shouldn't be filed and he should just get help off Camara..

[@xXshadow187Xx]

Been waiting for this part of the vid.

[@yulnikita]

That's really sad. He's got to figure out why he's got so much pain going on in inside himself & I'm sure the meth and the come downs off the meth intensify the pain.

[@coltonroark]

Can't we all agree we just simply need someone to talk life over with. Be that person. We can all be Dr Phil to someone In need.

[@kelbel443]

Oh, man! He needs so much help!

[@CrustyUgg]

I’ll live for my son! Going to prison last April and being told “you’re pregnant” got me sober off a decade long heroin and fentanyl addiction!! Everyday is a work in progress but one look at him or thought of him and I’m back to being motivated to do what I need to! I love my son and I’ll never let him down!

[@Hjvujjnnnjhhy]

Bam if your reading this know that you matter and no matter what situation you’re going thru you will see it thru and prosper.

[@sicklettuce]

He looks like Phil, and he has Don Vito's lazy eye

[@magdalenavictoria5700]

This makes me incredibly sad. I really wish he gets the help that he needs and gets sober. I really hope he turns his life around like Steve-o did

[@myleneh1916]

Is he on drugs now? Love how it's everyone else's fault.

[@ashemberson2318]

This kills me.. so sad to see someone who brought me such happiness feel this way. Hope you get better soon Bam. I totally get what you're going through, I've been through it too. You gotta hold on man, it gets better

[@Lilliththeloser]

I really hope he gets the help he needs. He filled my childhood with joy and happiness and he deserves that too 💖 VIVA LA BAM!!

[@jennesc]

What is he even talking about half the time? It’s so sad to watch what he’s turned into

[@carolmckenzie813]

No Bam don't cry i love you so much 😭😢😨😱😰💗

[@pinkymaxine]

He needs Jesus, I'm not being patronizing either. I'm being serious, he's so lost and it's so sad to watch.

[@psoteriou3884]

I agree. Jesus is the only answer and hope for this man.

[@rosebud1493]

I agree.

[@moldyapple1237]

Bam there’s people that love you all over this world!!! From fans to family please don’t do this to yourself!!!!!!!!!!
