Anthony Green: If You’re Alive and Listening, There’s Hope

Anthony Green (lead singer of Circa Survive, Saosin, and The Sound of Animals Fighting) opens up about his struggles with addiction and living with bipolar disorder. He describes how his distorted self-image manifested into disordered eating and drug and alcohol abuse, and details his first stay in rehab and being misdiagnosed with schizophrenia. Mayim breaks down the clinical definition, types, and dual-diagnoses associated with bipolar disorder, and opens up about her own father’s struggle with the affliction. She and Anthony discuss the dopamine loop and how this can also apply to technology, and highlight the importance of tackling addiction one step at a time, having an outlet to communicate, and exercising patience with those who are struggling. Anthony explains his process for accepting his diagnoses and managing his stressors and triggers, and how he has been able to repurpose his mania to use as a hack for improving his creativity as an artist.

I’ve been a fan of Anthony’s for 15 years and I have so much respect for this man. Anyone who is a true fan of Circa would say the same thing. I’m glad he is still with us now and I couldn’t help but to smile and cry while watching this podcast. He’s such a beautiful soul.

[@megtradamus]

Love you Monicat! ❤😉

[@Invertedworldx]

Ditto

[@adamhurt612]

Love all his work

[@Aaronlovesmusic970]

He is the best ❤️ the High and driving ep was always my favorite

[@banillaveans]

I love and respect Anthony so much, as well. I wish I would have found out about him and circa sooner but I’ve only been a fan for about a year. He really did change my life and his music is just so so amazing and therapeutic to say the least

[@Michelle-1]

I really respect him for saying he was so privileged financially. Seriously. I grew up without parents and homeless at 17 so I just had to slog through it. I was basically held hostage, raped, dragged through the mud with crazy exes. It was only when I got into my later 20s I realized how traumatized I was and what happened.

[@Ant-gu6vz]

I'm rooting for you ❤

[@JohnSmith-th7lx]

Hearing Mayim say the names of the bands, especially The Sound of Animals Fighting, feels surreal. It's like cultures colliding.

[@user-sn1id3tj3m]

I’ve been a fan of Anthony’s since Saosin. Seen Circa Survive play live many times, and met Anthony twice. Thank you for your incredible music and for your honesty. Big fan. Even bigger respect after watching this now.

ANTHONY GREEN????? ♥️ This was unexpected!!! ♥️

[@HeyChicagoWhattaSay]

UNEXPECTED LEGEND ON THE PROGRAM!!!

[@punkemoranger1]

Anthony green is the literal reason I'm still standing right now because of him i never gave up his music became old friends of mine that would help me through mania

[@therealteal620]

How is it possible for this man to look so good? Jesus, he turned out great.

[@willk4457]

I spent 3 decades of my life a wreck. Therapy didn't work. Medication didn't help. I was violent and out of control and unable to hold a job. Every doctor just said I had "depression" but finally at like 31-ish years old, my doctor at the time who I had recently started seeing asked me how I would feel about a bipolar diagnosis. I was scared, there was stigma. She said after everything, all the failures and shit not working, she was gonna treat me as bipolar type 2 going forward, and changed my medications up to match that. It was like night and day. Within a few weeks I was feeling so different from my usual self, I felt...functional. The rage subsided, the depression wasn't overwhelming anymore. I got a job, I started dating. I'm 37 years old now and married. And now it's 2024 and I'm sitting here crying listening to Anthony Green talk about this. A man who has been a top 3 vocalist to me for 20 years. Thanks for having him on. Also everyone talking about Circa or TSOAF or Saosin but I'm sitting here thinking about his work with Zolof The Rock And Roll Destroyer. Give me that sweet Plays Pretty For Baby

[@Kid_Ying]

I started listening to Circa Surive and Anthony about 13 years ago and it was literally life changing. I haven't watched the whole thing yet, but I wanted to show my love, especially after hearing about whatever's going on that caused him to cancel his latest tour with Circa. I've seen them like six times at this point and I'll never forget seeing his kids next to the stage with their big ear muffs to protect them from the sound. That little thing says so much about who he is as a man and a father. I don't believe in God but God bless all the same.

[@Aaronlovesmusic970]

36:07 literally how i felt about Bert McCracken, Anthony Green, Gerard Way watching them be crazy and drunk as a kid and teen and i almost found mystery in that lifestyle than went to play in my own bands and burn bridges like wildfires, it's just kind of crazy how Anthony felt the same way about the idolss he grew up with this podcast is amazing wow im in the struggle but this makes me actually want to get help thanks for this podcast its definitely helping me a ton right now

[@melancholissa]

Mayim, from the bottom of my heart : thank you for explaining so precisely what bipolar disorder is. I have a step-brother who has bipolar disorder and is always misunderstood and judged. I love your podcast!!

[@Palentir]

One of my top 10 people alive. I love this guy, he is a true poet. I listen to him every day and it’s hard to find a lot of interviews of Anthony that really show his mind and soul. Thanks for Opening up Anthony

[@Lauren-ey7rp]

The fact that he can write being in a higher state of consciousness & it mean so much more to him than being on the other side from a creative aspect; truly inspiring.

[@barbarabornholdt2854]

This episode is everything someone diagnosed as bipolar needs to hear. I am one of those fortunate souls to be diagnosed as bipolar and Borderline personality, making me one of those people who experience everything in such a heightened way I feel I am never "stable". One day at a time is perfection for finding those moments of stability that give one hope.

[@jordanb.1477]

Anthony seems like a genuinely great person. He loves life and realizes there are challenges, but he keeps on going and inspiring others along the way. What a guy.

[@DarrenBunt]

Finally saw Anthony Green live this past year and it was the most surreal experience. I feel blessed to have come across his music. And so glad they talked about weed too! Tired of hearing how it does nothing bad. Also, hearing about his financial situation was alleviating.

[@nicholemarinaccio9747]

I love hearing him sing and perform live, and listening to him speak and explain things in such an articulated manner was WONDERFUL. What a person!

[@catherinepeck3968]

Just wanted to say "Congratulations" for landing the Jeopardy! hosting position for the next 15 episodes, as well as the specialty hosting. If I were a contestant, I would like a host just like you -- calm, extremely knowledgeable and friendly, but not "overly chatty" and not making the show all about you like some of the other guest hosts are prone to do. Best wishes!

Agree well said

[@el_8951]

I agree, she’s kinda derailing on the flow of the conversation when she interjects over Johnathan or a guest. She’s pretty bold and i dig that but it’s also suddenly breaking the moment when she does that

[@lacyevans7324]

This was such a pleasant surprise for me this morning!!! Around the time that I was diagnosed with bipolar 2, Saosin was one of my favorite bands and this just gives me all of the nostalgic feels. ❤️ Thank you Mayim and thank you Anthony Green!!!😭❤️❤️❤️

[@elisatolle4931]

I really needed that this morning . I’m on the spectrum and not diagnosed bi-polar but deeply identify with this talk . It’s hard . One day at a time .

I keep trying to find the right words to explain how this made me feel, but they're evading me. So much here. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your journeys.

[@kdixie67]

I have been diagnosed and treated for bi-polar for over 27 years. My second pregnancy drove me to seek treatment. I barely survived the "crash" after the first. People don't understand that it's the depression that will kill you. I have been vigilant taking my meds ever since. I desperately wanted to be a normal Mom. I think more people need to know treatment works. ( I was diagnosed bipolar 1)

[@bradfoster8146]

I've been a huge fan of Anthony's since '02/'03 when he initially in Saosin and when their debut EP came out. I've been lucky enough to meet him, and he's such a sweet and nice dude. Him and his music has helped me through so much stuff. Loved this conversation

[@AnthonyDGreen]

Well this was certainly a weird title to wake up to last week in my notifications... I'm clinically depressed and on leave right now while in a partial hospitalization/intensive outpatient program so it was just funny waking up, being groggy, and then being called out like this. 😂

I don't know if everyone was ready for Anthony's experience level with introspection.

[@dokidokimkat9247]

I can't even express how excited I am for this episode! I never thought one of my favorite artists would collaborate with one of my favorite mental health advocates! I saw Circa Survive live in MN. It was an amazing show. I keep the cards they threw off the stage in my wallet. It was such an amazing show!

[@EremEdition]

Anthony fucking Green. My eyes may be leaking a bit and I'm just starting this video. This guy has done so much for me.

[@m_brokenleg]

Minute 1:01:30. About Anthony’s bro-in-law. My brother too. We lost him. Same choice than Anthony’s relative. Three kids. Still feeling guilty myself for not being able to help him on time. There’s always hope? Not for everyone. Tools are difficult to find..on time. My heart still bleeds…Sorry for being so vulnerable, for my crudeness and for venting this here. But this, as always, great episode threw salt on my still open wound…

[@kirstierowland6721]

I have been a fan of Circa Survive for over a decade now. Hearing this made me feel like oh yeah this all makes sense now. I myself struggle with the same mental health diagnosis- diagnosed after already being an avid Anthony Green lisenter. His music got me through a lot of dark times and not even knowing we share the same struggles. This was beautiful. You all are beautiful. ANTHONY I love you. Thanks for this. I feel like this didn't make grammatical sense but I'm all up in my feelings right now and can't be eloquent and articulate. Love and light.

[@annerice9235]

Well Jonathan, I cried too. What an incredibly deep and honest conversation. I'm so grateful to have had an opportunity to get to know Anthony. I appreciate his openness and willingness to share his story. I love the podcast. I listen/watch all the time. I'm going to have to say that this episode is now my favorite. I will probably be listening to this one a few times.

[@MicahMann]

Sitting in my office listening to this while I work and I can feel the lump in my throat. Growing up with a mom and older sister both diagnosed bipolar, this really hits home. I appreciate all of you so much. Thank you.

[@marisamartinezolivera]

Any creativity process has lots and frequent “maniac” episodes, followed or not (usually yes) by “depressive” or “down” ones. When your mind is speedy going, you feel a mix of workalcoholism and fear to loose “the moment”. You feel yourself in these moments like a god, goddess in my case. It’s the hardest “drug-without-drugs” episode. Followed by a depressive void. This architect’s word. It means we’re bipolar? No. But I think all cretive persons are more or less in the spectrum…Thank you Jonathan and Mayim for another great Tuesday! 🙏🏽💜Missing Bevisodes though. And I believe she has a lot to say about this particular one!

[@vlmellody51]

I had a nonfiction book called "Touched with Fire", which covered creative people throughout history who had bipolar disorder. My son is bipolar 1 and was completely psychotic during his adolescence (he's fine now). That tome became a very helpful resource for me, because it showed me how to navigate that world in talking to his total bastard of a psychiatrist.

[@marisamartinezolivera]

@@vlmellody51 I was never implying all creative people are bipolar, but that a kind of “in the spectrum” is always needed. And yes, not only Van Gogh was bipolar. Geniusess and bipolar have a thin line in beteween.

[@vlmellody51]

@@marisamartinezolivera I'm a genius and I have known many people who are also geniuses and among us, only my son has bipolar disorder. The mad genius/scientist trope came about thanks to Albert Einstein, who was bipolar and had that wild hair.

[@el_8951]

Being in the music business I’ve met a lot of those workaholic artists who deep dive in and go into a depressive or low point afterwards because they’ve mentally drained themselves too long and need a break. Chemically this makes sense since after you’re done there’s not a whole lot of endorphins and dopamine, but for bi-polar folks it can be a marathon and so much so that it’s beyond unhealthy but more life or death. I’m bi-polar II and I’ve gotten a pretty good gauge on who might be going through the cycles based on where they’re at on a project given the time they’ve spent on working on it. For example, let’s say you’ve got two painters (a/b), both are tasked to complete 6 pieces of really great large format paintings. Both start and finish the first piece of work and feel good enough and still in a creative mode to start and finish another piece. Both painters finish, but (a) takes a break for a day or two then gets back into it, while (b) doesn’t take a break and immediately starts another piece. Now (a) starts their third piece while (b) is finishing their third, then (b) starts their fourth piece. Painter (a) finishes their third and takes a break for a couple days while (b) is still working on their fourth piece. When painter (a) starts their fourth piece, painter (b) is only 3/4 of the way through their fourth. When painter (a) finishes their fourth piece, painter (b) is midway starting their fifth piece, so painter (a) takes a break for a week this time. When painter (a) starts their fifth piece, painter (b) is almost done with their their fifth then starts their sixth piece. Painter (a) finishes their fifth piece, takes a couple days break then starts on their sixth while painter (b) is only 1/2 way done. Painter (a) finishes their sixth piece while painter (b) hasn’t finished theirs. If you’ve read through all of that and it the painter analogy makes sense to you, thank you for reading all of that. If it doesn’t make sense to you, that’s good! That means you don’t have to worry about that because it really shouldn’t make sense, but it does when you’re bi-polar. Maybe 6 paintings isn’t a healthy load to take on anyway in what’s supposed to be a short period of time, but imagine not taking a break through all of that and having your pace keep slowing down till you can function while all of those fleeting thoughts are still constantly flowing through your brain but are now in a feedback loop. That’s what it feels like to be bi-polar.

My favorite Proverb A Wise man holds back untill later and a Fool utters all his mind. This is a mantra for me . I used to be hell bent on winning arguments and being right . When I embraced forgiveness for everyone and everything especially myself that need went away .Forgiveness is a choice of I choose forgiveness daily. I realized that if I waited till I felt like it , it may never happen. I realized that not everything that comes to mind needs come come out of my mouth . I also understand that if I get pissed there's a chemical reaction that last apox 90 seconds. and if I breath through and wait rather than react I can respond with Wisdom . This is a conscious decision I make daily to respond not react

Such a great interview with such an awesome guy. I’m so happy I’ve had the opportunity to briefly hang out with Anthony in Philly on 2 occasions closer to ten years ago or so and discuss some of this stuff casually before/after shows. He’s such an awesome person and loves his kids so much! I hope our paths cross again! I have much better general advice to give now than I did 10 years ago when I was still extremely green, new in the field, while still trying to work out a lot of my own stuff. Thanks so much to everyone involved with this podcast! It was really great to watch.

[@HeyChicagoWhattaSay]

OMG Mayim!!! I'm a huge AG FAN (and thanks for including Saosin and The SOund of Animals Fighting here) been a fan of Anthony's since October 2005. He's incredible! He's soooo talented and gracious! I'm also an alcoholic and drug user (cannabis) but AG is a walking legend and if we lost him I'd be devastated! (I created the Circa Survive subreddit)

[@davidtannehill4409]

As a fan of both The Big Bang Theory, and Circa Survive, I can't believe I'm just now discovering this interview within this channel. This is literally one of the top five greatest interviews I've ever seen. ❤

[@heathercade9645]

I've been patiently waiting for a guest who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and I was NOT disappointed. I was diagnosed 25 years ago, and have had the hills and valleys of function that go along with that. I was very fortunate to have landed on the right medication fresh out of the gate, and I still take it, but I realise not everyone is so fortunate. Anthony Green, whom I was not aware of prior to this, was such an interesting guest. His honesty about just being okay with trying to be better, and trying to be mindfulof his mania cues, and be as mentally healthy as he can be, was refreshing. I also really appreciated how he recognizes how fortunate, and privileged he was growing up, and that others are not. He was quick to turn down the praise, even though he was worthy of it. This was such a meaningful conversation, and I saw a lot of myself in the sentiments that were expressed by all of you. Thank you so much.

[@Childofbhaal]

You should definitely check his music out. He has solo stuff and also his main band Circa Survive. They’re both amazing

[@nofxninjaa]

Anthony has a popular song with those words you started with! “I’ve been patiently waiting…” I honestly thought you were referencing it until you said you hadn’t heard of him. Check it out if you’re interested. It’s called Dear Child.

[@the_devilboy666]

@27:30 the discussion about dopamine- People with bipolar and addiction are more likely to have a genetic mutation in the MTHFR gene, which causes dopamine deficiencies. Dopamine deficiencies make people seek out high dopamine activities to compensate. It’s super common and is thought to affect 20-50% of the general population. Best thing I did was get a genetic test, and adjust diet/supplementation to correct deficiencies (specifically vitamin b9 and folate/methylfolate) which affect dopamine production

[@roxannetracy2931]

Sorry for yet another comment, but I watched the whole Podcast and am so touched. I just got out of the depression portion of the runaway rollercoaster that is Bipolar. It's like coming out of a fog. There's hope. Always hope. Hope versus Helplessness. As an Advocate who has fought the stigma since I was a young girl getting into fights because someone made fun of my mom, to getting my Masters in Human Services, I wish to applaud Anthony for his courage and his honesty.

For those who don't understand, I am happy for you and I promise I don't mean that sarcastically. However, if you do understand, I hope you fight for your happiness every day.

Asthma, always sick with repository infections or bronchitis, compulsive over eating, no friends at school got picked on when I actually went.... drugs and alcohol to fit in and have "friends". This is the first I have ever heard of Anthony but I am glad to ran across this so Thank you!
