I admit it, I clicked for the tiddies. I only lasted 55 seconds.
"So a lot like real life then, huh?"
Go fuck yourself, trash-talking voice in my head. *sigh*

She may as well, that and a GoFundMe.
Seems like the go-to for everyone these days.

I laughed about all the Katie Carney stuff, I watched her videos quite a bit at one time because, well, at a point in my life when things weren't too great, I slept in my car occasionally, even though I had a house. A story I don't really want to go into beyond that, but that then I started to see her for what she really is: a user, a teaser (of men) , and someone who needs good, consistent professional mental health help! She is always friending someone and living with them a while, living off of them (I assume) and being overly dramatic (like the video about "being left in a burning house; apparently the fire was put out before she even woke up and so...) but she says THAT is what has triggered all her depression, etc., etc., She alludes constantly to her mental health problems but won't say exactly what they are. And she has a LOT of followers who ardently defend her whenever some criticism comes her way: to them, she can do no wrong! They always reply with something like "You just ignore those haters, sweet Katie, WE love you and know you're the BEST! You are so wonderful and inspirational and you just remember that we love you and will always be there for you!" Yeah. Comments like that. I heard on another thread that she had a "meet-up" about a year or so ago (apparently she has these once in while where she is in a town and decides to hose a meet up where she meets her devoted followers in person). It was so funny: the person commented that all the people who showed up were grandmother types (probably about like me, lol) who brought their grandchildren(NOT like me!) and that Katie was wearing stiletto heels and Daisy Duke shorts and an off the shoulder T shirt, obviously looking for...uh...well...NOT grandmothers with their grandkids. It was so darned funny and right on point!

This is the exact reason that yesterday, after commentating on a couple of other YouTubers, I concluded that these mindless followers are dangerous.
As a whole, I think having a YouTube following can be dangerous.
They will cheer you on as you're running off a cliff, and viciously attack anyone who dare speak out and suggest that the YouTuber SHOULDN'T run off the cliff...
And I'm not saying they do it out of bad intentions or something...
They're just mindless "supporters" who don't know these YouTubers in real life, and therefore, they don't have any concept of consequences and will never have to deal with the real aftermath of the decisions they support these YouTubers into making.

Mister Obvious,
I do believe you are right, having a bunch of YouTube followers can be a bad thing, and they, themselves, can be a bad thing when they go overboard, which they often do. I have to say, I also noticed when I watched her, that she bought a LOT of stuff - a LOT. She also encourages, now and then, her followers to "send me stuff!" She likes buying stuff, getting stuff, and sometimes, returning stuff so so she can buy MORE stuff! Which may be why she doesn't live in a car anymore!

She's a serial returner, too. She keeps the tags on stuff and I've even heard her talk about returning expensive beauty products. I don't agree with the approach, but apparently they allow it, so... *shrug*
Hey, she's a Leo... what're ya gonna do.

I think that's okay... I've seen other YouTubers do it way more than she does, so on that front, she is not so bad. If you have adoring viewers and they wanna send you things, why not let 'em?

True. So do I though... except for returning things, which out of all the stupid shit I've bought, I've never returned anything... besides some things I ordered online that didn't fit or just sucked in person.

I think Katie could always afford a place... she just chose to live in the car. As someone who loves roadtrips and living in the car, I can completely relate and TBH... I'm just so damn glad she got to spend so many years doing it.

Car living is one of the most fun things in the entire world... as long as it's by choice, of course.

Stopped by Katie's channel yesterday to see what she's been up to. She looks very pretty and whatnot as usual.
Apparently she's been living in an apartment for 1.5 years now, and isn't sure she ever does wanna live in her car again.
But what I didn't enjoy hearing about was the worsening of her depression... I couldn't help but think about my own experiences as she was speaking.
It occurred to me that there could be a very real reason for her depression that is outside of any trauma or other kinda stuff she may have experienced. I think she could have a hormonal imbalance, or she could simply be experiencing her body's urges to reproduce, and its punishment of her when she doesn't... check out my thread about severe PMS and how I reached some of these conclusions: https://www.sectual.com/thread-16741-pos...#pid140007
Yup, essentially...
My conclusion is that myself and other women who have severe PMS (PMDD) are being punished by our bodies for not reproducing, and that the symptoms could get worse and worse until the childbearing years are over... but there may not even be a real end to it even after that time. For real.
I know this shit is hard to hear as a female who struggles with extreme depression... but it really is a possibility that needs to be considered.
So I'm thinking all this while I'm watching her video, considering whether I should post my theory... and then she gets to the question about whether or not she wants kids, and she definitively answers that she does not want to have any children.
I couldn't help but think that these things are related, and that Katie may not be able to expect her depression to get better if this is what's causing it.
Do I think she needs to go out and reproduce just to make the depression (maybe) stop? No, hell no. Same as I don't really want to have any kids, I can understand Katie's feelings... the answer isn't just to reproduce in a desperate bid to stop these agonizing feelings.
Ultimately... I think that the hormonal cascade of depression that wreaks hell in our lives may stop if we reproduced, but it would then be replaced with (likely) equally hard emotions that result from what our life situation would become if we had to be responsible for the survival of our offspring.

Wow, she literally posted a new video while I was typing that!
Maybe I will watch this in a sec if I still have some free time.

She SAYS she's excited but I don't think she actually seems all that excited.
3:00 their lease was up and that forced her to move out basically.
She's in NY for another few weeks/months... I don't really care about the US NE.
I'll revisit her channel later on and see what she ultimately gets up to.
I still think she needs to move to UT or AZ and learn to enjoy the desert.

Katie looks really beautiful and she doesn't look a day over 21 either, I love the way she's just sort of frozen in time, it's kind of magical.
But I noticed that she looked way skinnier than she used to be a few months back last time I checked in on her channel. I know she said she had a tumor somewhere that was supposedly not a problem. Hopefully it's not to do with any of that. I think she had to change her diet (which was already pretty restrictive) because of gastrointestinal issues or something. It's been a while since I listened to the video where she explains, so I don't remember all the details.
I just hope she's doing well. I can attest to losing weight during times in my life when I was really "going through it"... but I've also lost weight when I WAS actually happy (at least somewhat) as well, so I am not saying the weight loss means she's unhappy or unwell or something.
When I see a lot of weight loss in the arms though, I become a little concerned and start to wonder what the reason is behind it. Cuz the arms are an area where you don't start to lose weight until the rest of your body has basically burned all its fat. Like the face and the arms are the last places where the weight comes off. And Katie's lost weight in both those areas.
Maybe she's just been living in the car, more active, and burning a lot of calories just... I dunno, leading a more active lifestyle or something?? I just hope she's eating enough and she's not going through a hard time. I feel like she could act and pretend everything is fine, regardless of how she really feels.
So I looked through her vids a little more...
Yeah in the title of this one, she SAYS she's sick and there's a strict diet going on. See I'm just concerned that the thinness isn't because she's trying and isn't because of an ACTIVE lifestyle (she'd have to be hiking daily or something).
It's just sort of worrying and I really wonder what sort of help Katie's enlisting to get her through these health issues. I know she tries "regular" doctors, but maybe she should look into alternative medicine doctors or like holistic practitioners or something. I just feel like it'd be good to get some more opinions on things before she's too much thinner... if this is all due to diet, then she really needs ANSWERS from professionals.
I just want Katie to be happy and healthy.
1:00 she says she has something called "EOE" which I have NEVER heard of.
Quote:Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic disease of the esophagus. Your esophagus is the muscular tube that carries food and liquids from your mouth to the stomach. If you have EoE, white blood cells called eosinophils build up in your esophagus.
https://medlineplus.gov/eosinophilicesophagitis.html
Okay, so they've given her this medical terminology for her condition, but what's the CAUSE?? Why is this a problem?? I feel like she's not getting ANSWERS. These things don't just happen for no reason. What is the underlying problem?? A white blood cell buildup?? How do you mitigate that issue?? What causes white blood cell build up?? Isn't that basically a cancer situation?? Then the REASON behind this build up and problem needs to be addressed.
I feel like the standard medical industrial complex isn't gonna help Katie with this. I think she needs to look into alternative medicine, maybe Eastern/Asian medicine, Chinese medicine, holism, just... OTHER OPINIONS. She's so YOUNG and she CANNOT have her life going down this path. What the fuck?
She's GOTTA get other opinions. There's an underlying cause of all this and regular doctors are probably never going to be useful enough. Like yeah, go to the standard doctors, but in the MEANTIME, there is no reason not to consult other types of doctors, practitioners, etc.
Do these problems have their roots in psychology? Is her mental state causing issues with her body? Who can get down to the bottom of this? I feel like that's gotta have something to do with it. There are underlying causes of these issues and nobody is looking deep enough.

It was MONTHS ago that I saw the video where she was talking about this really bad esophageal issue.
I remember being concerned then, but I don't think she looked worryingly thin at that time.
It seems like nothing's gotten better during that time, seems like she's just been losing weight increasingly.
That's bad because being too thin makes you short of energy, short of oxygen in the blood, vitamin deficient, all kinds of stuff. If the weight loss was from a super active lifestyle, then it wouldn't be worrying. But it seems like it's solely due to her diet, the lack of being able to eat much of anything.
Katie's got a big audience and I would be asking if there were any type of health pros, diet pros, fitness pros, or any type of super educated (professionally or otherwise) people who are able to look into the deeper reasons and causes that could be behind these problems. Ask people in the audience, go seek out alternative medicine practitioners, find holistic doctors, maybe even look for a professional that fuses spirituality and health together and looks for deeper causes behind things.
I dunno but the weight loss is upsetting and she needs to act fast before she doesn't have enough energy.

I'm not saying she LOOKS bad. She looks very pretty as always and again there would be absolutely nothing concerning about the weight loss, IF it was clearly from something good like an active fit lifestyle.
But that's not the case here... with Katie, it's due to illness and restriction. That's bad. And when you KNOW that, it affirms what you feel in your intuition when you see how thin she's gotten. She looks beautiful, but the thinness itself is suspect and should make anyone wonder why it's happening. Are the reasons good, bad, etc? People don't ASK these questions. People don't EXAMINE their intuition about situations.
And doctors see a bazillion patients a day. They may care, but they don't have TIME to truly give patients the help they need, one on one.
Katie needs a practitioner who's gonna look into ALL the different components of health... mental, physical, AND spiritual. For real. Sending so much love to Katie, I hope she gets somebody working for her best health possible and really getting to the absolute bottom of what's going on.
If I ever end up in a car with a gurl talking that way she is getting a rohypnol or a hammer
Katie got in my subscriptions years ago and I can never seem to cancel. I find her wall of chipper speed yammering mildly hypnotic.
Somehow compelling and boring all at once. She can be funny though and I think she really is a sweetheart.
She's often mentioned her numerous psychological and diet issues. Lot of anxiety and gluten talk, and other allergies that make her unable to eat basically anything except processed food and meat.
I'm sure it's all contributed to her condition...not to mention living in a Yaris sleeping at truck stops and on couches for nine years.
You're right she does look great in the face, but the weight loss is concerning. She currently lives with family, so seems she's being taken care at least.
She is independent minded and I think does her own research, but she really could use some good help.
Btw i found this website a few months ago after googling Katie for whatever reason...Awesome discussion of her dude habits from a couple years back. I think you nailed it.
Also seems she dated a guy last summer who was in a few videos and didn't seem like her typical cuckable material...and I think she may have gotten her heart broken...shortly after is when her health scare began

Thanks for sharing your informed opinion as a fellow longtime viewer of Katie, I really appreciate it!
I dunno if she got her heart shat on by a dude... maybe. But I kinda think it's something else man.
She's had something mental affecting her since childhood and it seems like she's NEVER gotten to talk about it to adequate professionals.
Maybe I'm wrong, I dunno. But she should shop around for mental health professionals in different cities. Like if she's always gone to docs in the eastern States, maybe she should try THE WESTERN instead.
She could see what states have the best healthcare then either be a resident there or just live there for a while with a friend or something.
But I think she needs to PURSUE SPIRITUALITY. Do all the typical medical stuff, but seek out some serious spiritualist information so she can discover the concept of energy/vibe, and how the mental state affects the physical state. She needs to find out about the longterm effects of trauma and the problems it can cause in your adulthood, not to mention manifesting in your body as ailments.
I used to link to that video in the footer of this site...
One of my old favorites.
I guess if I had to choose one, that's what comes to mind about this.
I think if you told Katie all the particles in the universe were once compressed to fit in her Yaris, and that Yellowstone and Charleston are both in the middle of infinity...she might start talking slower, and reach for her gluten-free chips...which I guess could be a good thing.
Agree she has deep family and trauma issues. Has said she's tried several therapists, but I'm not sure to what avail. She's advertised some web therapy thing on her channel, which can't be great.
I dunno, she's pretty hardcore Christian it seems so not sure how quantum spiritual ideas would align. I actually remember her once saying she hates the word "vibe" haha. I do know it would be great if she could relax and get a better grasp on mind body connection. I think she tries hard with a lot of things...ironic since she has a Bukowski quote tattoo. She could probably use some zen chill. I wish her the best
