State Of Mind - 'The Most Watchable Man' with Depression

For this week's State Of Mind I wanted to talk about Depression, so I'm sharing a story about my battle with depression, after coming out of the mental hospital, and how competing in The Most Watchable Man competition helped to get me through it.
------------------------------
State of Mind to me means being 100% present, feeling completely at peace inside of you, not letting your thoughts control your life and always looking for ways to be the best that you can be.
This will be the first series here on KZbin, however you can learn more about State Of Mind at www.mbstateofm....
If you'd like to learn more about my life, I've recently released "Nothing General About It - How Love (and Lithium) Saved Me On and Off General Hospital" www.amazon.com...

[@francesbrooks3397]

Dear Mr. Bernard I just want to say that you are an amazing person and that you probably don't realize it. You are a fighter. May you and your beautiful family be well today and always..

[@kda340]

In 1959 I was a student nurse at the IOL in Conn. for three months. We called bipolar, manic depressive manic then and Lithium was a drug in the future so my frustration was we couldn't help.. I am so proud of you! And you are helping so many people with this horrible disease. You are such an amazing example to afflicted people by being a superb actor and compassionate man, also being brave enough to be so honest. Bravo!

[@MBStateOfMind]

I will never stop

Please look at my comment above on Anita post ☝🏻supplements/Orthomolecular medicine saved my life & partners 🙏🏻

Very glad that you are still standing. Depression does play with everything (body and mind ). Agree about coffee. Sometimes it is a little things that makes you feel better.

[@colleenwhite1047]

"In my dreams I was happy." Like you are telling my story! I was struggling today with my depression. I'm so glad it was a State of Mind day! I felt the depression melting away as I watched you today. It's a daily struggle with depression and Freddie (so using that). I honestly cannot thank you enough for taking the time and sharing yourself, your story with all of us. You are such an inspiration!

[@dechinta]

So look forward to these every week. Almost as much as looking forward to watching GH on Hulu at 7pm. :) GH is one of the constants in my life and during the worsts of my depressions, there were seriously times when I would put off suicide because I wanted to see what was going to happen on GH that day. I can't remember ever not watching GH although there were a couple years there before it came on the air. But having watched it since 1963, it is important to me that it is a constant in my life and I always watch it. And when Sonny came on the scene, it became a million times better. Sonny is my favorite character. Sonny and Laura. I love them all though. But with my depression...having constants in my life is crucial, knowing GH will come on, knowing my dog is going to wake me up every morning and so far, every single morning, I have woken up and that, in itself, it sometimes the only accomplishment I can achieve in a day's time, but that's the important one! Thank you for these stories you share with us.

[@karenmiller1671]

Oh Maurice I love the way you have shared your mental health with us fans. I also suffer from depression and anxiety.its REALLY nice to hear that there's actually someone else who feels my pain. Much love to you and your family. Thanks for sharing!

[@rebeccarodriguez2581]

This is so important for people to know about. I have suffered from depression on and off most of my life. Medication has been the only thing that helps me. My own depression helped me recognize it in my child and get help before things got out of hand. Thank you for all you do to being awareness and reduce stigma.

[@lindan3831]

You are truly an inspiration! to many of us that suffer from mental illness. Thank you for caring enough to share with us.

Thank you so much for these moments. I've had anxiety and depression for many years. I'm on medication thankfully. It saved me for sure. When I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis about a year and 1/2 ago it could have broken me. It didn't. Thanks to my mental health being in a good place. So thank you Mo. You are a very special person to share these stories with us.

[@Therapistmind]

Maurice you have already touched a young girl. This girl got you to do a video for me for Mother’s Day as a gift because she knows I love you on GH and I suffer from anxiety and depression. She found you when she saw my book “Nothing General About It” on my table. This girl, my daughter, since then has been suffering with anxiety and depression and I went to the doctor with her to get this managed and I was so worried my daughter was afflicted with my illness too. She has subscribed to State of Mind and learns from you. Love and thanks for every Sunday from me and my daughter ❤️

[@leighnock2948]

You have answered so many questions that I have had over the years but was so afraid to reach out for help. Fearful of how people would look at me, especially at my job. Thank you for helping to take that fear away. I have reached out and am on my way to a better me!! I wish I could thank you in person. God bless you.

[@catherinerodriguez4598]

I am still trying to get my son to watch. He is not living with me anymore. When he chose not to go to rehab, I became, in his mind, his enemy. He tells me that he lost his best friend, me. He attacked me physically a few times and it just wasn't doable anymore. I miss him so much. I really want to see him well but anytime we speak on the phone, my love, anger, disappointment and frustration collide and I lose it. He is 29 and has been struggling since childhood. I save all your videos because I want him to see the various shapes that anxiety, depression, and bipolar aspects of personality take. I want him to see that he can get through whatever this is that scares him so much. Thank you for laying all this out, you are such a good and kind man. 🕊️🕯️

[@tinamcclenahan8775]

Thank you for being here and talking to me/us,,,,,it helps and is a piece of what I can do to help myself....

Please look at my response above on Anitas post ☝🏻☝🏻

[@Heather_1964]

I have serious depression where I don’t want to get out of bed. I’ve tried many medicines some that have made me do harm to myself because of the side effects ended up in the hospital I have tried what is called TMS and that did not work for me I was one of the failures. I also have anxiety along with PTSD. I enjoy listening and watching you because you help like I’ve said to you before and you’ve read my comments I appreciate that you bring this forward for others to understand! I have started talking to a counselor but I don’t think we’re the right fit and I know that can take a while to find the right one. But when you don’t feel like getting out of bed you just don’t care. As you were stating all you wanna do is sleep and I’m in that mode if it wasn’t for having to go to PT once a week I think I would stay in bed seven days a week. But I always come looking forward to Sundays because you do help and let me know I’m not alone! Thank you, Maurice.

[@ellynblauser7167]

Thanks for another helpful Sunday! I always snapped out of my depression fairly well, but now being locked up in my room in a nursing home for 7 months and not knowing how long before I get my disabled life back has my mind everywhere and thinking I will die before I see and hug my family and friends. You will never realize how much you help my nephew but me too!

[@fortylovestyle2789]

Your bed becomes like quicksand...speaking my language again! I've been on medication for bipolar disorder and stable (for the most part) for the past 10 years. Feeling good now but still didn't realize how much I needed this. Thank you for sharing, this is such a gift.

God Bless You I suffer from depression My children suffer from depression PTSD and bipolar Thank you for talking about what a lot of people suffer. Your great, I love you when you're talking I feel close to you like family like we're related

[@nancymcdowell4799]

Maurice you are an inspiration to me. I’m bipolar and struggle with anxiety every time I go out into the world. I have anxiety even when my children are coming to visit. It’s horrible. You make me feel like I’m not alone. We are going through the same experience. My worst with depression was when I sat in my living room and looked around for a way to kill myself if things got bad enough. I saw a hook on my bathroom door and told myself that I’d hang myself. Then I was able to sleep because in my mind I had a way to end it if I felt I had to. I just admire you so much. You are helping me to be ok. Thank you Maurice. God bless you. Stay strong. 🙂

[@pamelafame1458]

Freddy Krueger is a good analogy. Thank you for talking about both anxiety and depression. I have struggled with both and the hardest thing for me was the lack of treating my anxiety. I've been able to manage my depression, the anxiety is a trickier bit of life

[@MBStateOfMind]

I agree with you

[@sotivelentzas5590]

Just found this...wow. It's all so true. It seems through the years of watching you that a friend is just helping us through hard moments. Real connection! Best therapy above all is prayer...stay strong❤

[@wolfgangproductions7402]

I overcame a Eating Disorder I had between the ages of 10 and 25 years old and beat it but it’s been replaced with OCD , Anxiety and Depression especially with the way our world is these days...I look forward to your Sunday videos it’s very kind of you to do this. Also you are a great actor. I hope someday you will come back to Rockwells and we can shake hands and get a hug ,remember those days when you could hug someone ? I hope and pray that this nightmare will go away. I miss the world we use to have . Thx again for being the person that you are......

[@leahwilson1962]

Interesting that you could do the watchable contest with depression. Your really strong. I can't go anywhere when my depression is bad. I just lay there and pray and cry. Thanks for doing these State of Minds.

[@monicafischer817]

Anxiety really is like freddy Kruger I hate it so much I have severe generalized anxiety , panic attacks, bipolar such a rollercoaster I feel I'm in on everyday I'm so glad and thankful you talk about mental health because of you I've never felt alone general hospital was my comfort show knowing sonny also struggles like myself man I didn't feel like a weird, strange, outcast anymore...

[@sandrajohnson3164]

Maurice, I just want to thank you for being so upfront and honest about your life and yourself with your depression, bi-polar and anything else you have delt with. I also know how it is and what you are saying about the bed being the quicksand. I have been there so many and too many times.

[@patriciaszini2048]

I love your State of Mind. I lost my husband to cancer in January 2016, my brother February 2016, my cockatoo parrot March 2016. My twin brother May of 2018, sister in law July 2018, aunt and uncle 2018. Then my mom Jan 2019. It's been a really hard road for me, as I have the same heart disease as my twin.

Yes sir the mind is a powerful thing, I suffered from depression off and on through my life the last was a nervous breakdown. Worked two jobs most of my life even when I was married I always loved to work but from working meeting quotos making the bills my back pain and everyday stuff my body just could not take it .I'm ok now but man it was heavy and dibilatating...but it's scary when you can actually feel your mind leaving you..it's an aweful thing...it's out of control..never do I want that feeling again...whew!! Thankyou kind soul for speaking out...this Nationwide should be taken more serious .... But you know meds help but I think I have to say like you said it takes the confidence and support of family to make it out..it's hard if you have no one.....thanks for all you do...I dearly love your acting and now I found your channel almost in person you seem to me to be a very kind gentle soul....on the inside.....😊💐♥️✌️✌️

[@judysutherland7326]

So happy to see you are happy today! I think that’s contagious! Thanks, Maurice for the story! I feel better now for sure. Although I read about it in your book, it was really nice to hear about how winning the contest made you happy. And I’m not surprised at all that you won. You would win it again today in a heartbeat! 😊

[@sandramansir1630]

I appreciate you so much because of my own years-long battles with depression and anxiety. I had also been diagnosed as bipolar years ago but now never am manic. My mental health, especially anxieties, has gotten so bad that I’ve also become agoraphobic. My hope now is that my sons don’t inherit my problems, but the oldest (9 years) already shows signs of depression. My father also had schizophrenia, bipolar, and OCD so those genes are strong.

[@denisebyers7647]

I love you. Thank you. I'm emotional too. Your honesty brings me to tears. 😢

[@denisefinochiaro]

Thank you so much for sharing your life/experiences with us about depression and anxiety. My father has been manic depressive/bi-polar as long as I can remember. Growing up with him was HARD. A few years ago I was diagnosed with anxiety disorder and depression. I'm not bi-polar but I can totally relate to so much of the symptoms you talk about. It's just so reassuring to know that we are not crazy or alone. Thank you for using your mental illness to make a difference. BTW I've watched you in GH since you started. You're also an amazingly talented actor!

[@lgtu267]

Hi,. I was 21 when depression came out of nowhere and got a hold of me. I would sit in the backroom at my job and just cry. My parents didn't understand it and we're hesitant to get me treatment. The doctor wanted me to quit my job but my mom didn't want to support me. Working began to feel like a prison sentence. I ended up not working for 13 years. I was terrified to work. I had to get medicine to help me. I think I will always need medicine. Thank you for making it ok to talk. I've never posted these feelings before and that was 32 years ago.

Depression is awful. It makes you not want to get out of bed. You want to curl up and stay in bed forever. But, anxiety is also awful. It is constantly there. I don't even know what it is like to feel relaxed. I love your talks. They give me hope.

U r so right ... when I was so depressed after my breakdown, sleeping was my savior. I was happy as I dreamt but upon waking reality hit me and I would slip deeper down in the hole. I just LOVE ur channel as I don’t feel alone. U have a great support system something I wished I had.

[@lindseyblakley5982]

I just want to take the time to thank you Maurice and say that I absolutely love this channel because it has helped me to admit to myself and to actually say out loud that yes I to am mentally ill, Even though I’ve always known that I am I’ve never actually said it out loud, I have dealt with anxiety and depression for many years and have taken meds for it but I’ve had a really hard time just sayin it or admiring it out loud but starting today I’m not going to be ashamed anymore about it, Idk even know if I’m makin any damn sense lol, I’m just rambling lol I just want to thank you for whatever your doin with this channel because it really does help ❤️

I find that my depression is harder to deal with. It comes fast and often. It's triggered by daily stuff, things from my past and family things. It cause me to feel like I'm a failure. It's hard for me to talk about it because I don't often know

[@pamelafame1458]

I'm not sure if this will help you, but I find talking about it helps. Even if "talking" amounts to journaling and then reading it out loud.

Adding to your contest revelation . I have found and experienced in my darkness That I needed a WIN meaning only u did that contest No one else . Most times we coddle and baby people who are ill esp blue. And I found it doesn’t work They need a Personal WIN to have there self esteem to grow.I felt the best after getting my teaching license it was a Huge WIN I worked full time single mom and No one can take it away...Also when we are on the quick sand bed we need a coach to have us get out of our head by being of service volunteering anywhere So u know u matter in this crzy world...

That question is an interesting one. I never thought about which was worse. I, like you also never wanted to get up. I was most times happier in my dreams. There was an Ally McBeal episode about a woman who had an alternate life in her dreams. She wanted to be put in a drug induced coma for her lifetime. They argued to the court that if she has a nightmare they wouldn’t be able to bring her back out of it and she could live her life in that nightmare. Interestingly enough she felt her life awake was the nightmare. I understood that episode all to well.

[@Alee713]

I know this may be a big ask. I wanted to know if you would do even a small segment on what it feels like when ur depressed. You mentioned a bit in this video on how u want to sleep and how painful it is but if you would elaborate a little more I would be so grateful. My reason being, I have the same and it helps me explain to my husband what it feels like. He has watched me suffer for over 20 yrs but I guess hearing someone else describe the feelings and how u can’t just snap or push yourself out of it, helps me articulate it and show how it’s not just me. I hope that made sense. Thank you for all you do. 💕

[@pamelafame1458]

I would sleep for 8 hours a night, get up, lay down on the couch and sleep for another 4. Then I would have to struggle to get up and do anything. There were days that I would literally wake up after the "morning nap" watch TV while laying down and then sleep for 2 more hours. Then wake up, eat a little something and go back to bed. It was honestly a struggle to get up and eat those days

[@Alee713]

Pamela Fame I completely get it. You can’t force yourself to do anything. U sit there thinking of the things you should be doing or need to do and get more depressed because you can’t do. It’s awful. I don’t know if this happens to others but even if iam fine, if people around me are being negative about things it will change my mood too. And I try to explain to them that the difference between them and me is that they can snap out of it an hour later and iam down or miserable the rest of the day. I can’t snap out of it like other people.

I really love listening to your talks about mental depression. Maurice is a fantastic speaker on KZbin. He made a lot of good points. I also have a mental illness that will always be with me all of my life. I do the same thing too. When I start to cry a lot because of my mind is sick because I also had a very bad nervous BREAKDOWN. Many years ago. I was in my early 40s. I went to 2 Hospital and one was very bad. Then I went to another hospital and they were very helpful to me! I went through a very bad depression after my father died at 2017 of August. It hit me very hard and I was watching my dad slowly going down hill from cancer. So Maurice I can picture what you must be going through? It is very hard to get through the day. Please take care and I love you on General Hospital! 🙏💝💯👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
