Shouldn't the ultimate goal be about making him better so he can be part of society? I mean, I'm in the US, not Britain, and we prefer to let people starve in the streets, but my patients on benefits usually get reviewed every year or two. I would personally have a really hard time continuing to certify someone's condition when they're constantly swanning off to Florida, California, or Paris.But he clearly has his own coping strategies for managing his anxiety when he goes to WDW or on a Disney Cruise. Morally, he should be focusing his efforts on applying those coping strategies to a work environment first, not Disney World for god sake.
Jesus he is so transparent. What a f-ing child.Limiting who can have an opinion
My opinion is that he is emotionally underdeveloped, he's been coddled his whole life and so anything too hard he describes as anxiety.I fully believe Gary does struggle with anxiety. He’s clearly in receipt of Universal Credit and possibly PIP on top.
He is clearly already applying some helpful coping strategies to allow him to attend holidays (it may well be has already had assistance from mental health professionals to do this), so it’s not unreasonable to assume there would be some jobs he would be capable of doing by applying the same strategies.Shouldn't the ultimate goal be about making him better so he can be part of society?

But it *is* anxiety. I agree with you, he has probably been babied and sheltered his entire life which makes him highly dysfunctional, and anxiety is then a by-product of that. He needs therapy to unpack his childhood and get to the bottom of it.My opinion is that he is emotionally underdeveloped, he's been coddled his whole life and so anything too hard he describes as anxiety.
I knowYes I suspect the anxiety is actually a by product of being coddled and spoilt and never having to face anything in life. He needs to grow up basically. He is a 40 year old man for goodness sake
I'm not going to pretend there aren't things that are meaningful to me that haven't actually moved me to that level, but that's usually something that is designed to promote an emotional reaction, like a film or a piece of music. Not a topiary.I'm not saying he doesn't need psychiatric help. He cried on one vlog because he was stood next to a bush shaped like Winnie the Pooh, that boy needs serious help.
I guess what I mean is, he's slapped himself with a catch-all "anxiety" label and he's more than happy to use that to just bumble through life, when what he really need is therapy (which I think the govt should pay for)But it *is* anxiety.

Adam technically babies him as well, paying for him to be on holiday, and he does assume a bit of a parenting type role on the vlogs. To us it looks mean (and it is), but to Gary it probably feels comfortable sadly!
Oh yeah same here. I've cried at films and stuff before, there's obviously nothing wrong with it. But crying at bushes or crying because you hugged a grown man in a Beast costume...it's sad, he needs counselling.I'm not going to pretend there aren't things that are meaningful to me that haven't actually moved me to that level, but that's usually something that is designed to promote an emotional reaction, like a film or a piece of music.

There is so much cringe in watching childless adults interact with the costumed characters.crying because you hugged a grown man in a Beast costume
Exactly!! He is just spoilt and lazyHell, if he's an "artist," open an Etsy story.
You think he'd want to moo-moo-sharoo to an office every day?I’m sure he could do some sort of admin role for Adam.
Good point!You think he'd want to moo-moo-sharoo to an office every day?
How old is his Twitter user pic?
