I am 58 years old and take alot of meds for my anxiety and depression and I thank God for them as well as my lovely therapist. Now if I can only find a good man of God who will love me as I am.
I will say this exercise. I fight depression and I am now not taking any meds for that. When covid hit, we couldn't do anything but eat. Gained 30 pounds, my emotions were all over. Got back in the gym, my emotions are back right, and I lost 30 pounds. Excerise in great for your mental help. Wish you luck.
That was what I was taught in school was cognitive behavior therapy along with treatment but I was never one that wanted to pass out medicine I wanted to have my masters in Psychology but it didn't happen. I commend you for what you're doing because there is not enough help in this area. As always I come in Maurice Bernard for erasing the stigma of Mental Health
The hay days were the BEST days!!! These writers are underwhelming spreading the storylines everywhere but nowhere. Where are those writers from the 80’s 90’s? Please don’t be mad but the 80’s and 90’s storylines were much more exciting that we couldn’t wait to see you on every episode. Now we have to wait for when Maurice is on. Loved this clinician! Very educational! I agree with you Maurice, in person counseling is far superior!!
@@MBStateOfMind - Hi Maurice-I was a student at age 35 getting my MSW in Social Work. ( now I’m 64) . I was on a team putting on presentation why in person counseling is most beneficial ( body language and hygiene etc are observed by the clinician), except for those home bound or hospitalized. Now many hide behind their electronics. Counseling is an investment in myself, including dressing up, including the drive time to my counselor weekly. My mental health is in check and I stopped all drinking/pills in 2010. Staying home doing Zoom just adds to isolation many with mental health suffer from. Sleep is key and I hope everything gets resolved for you. I suffer from anxiety and I have had palpitations. Best to you and your beautiful family 💜🇺🇸
This was a great episode! Thank you for having Suzette on. I found her to he very informative and im interested in getting her book. I hope you have her on again.
That’s what I’m going through now from December when I loss my mom tragically!! I’m trying gummies now and on senesta, but I hope we will changing it !! This is so very helpful , thank you so much both of you ❤
I was 27 31 years ago. I had been watching since 78. I watched GH everyday after school I got to watch a half an hour of it. Because when I first started watching it there were no vcrs. I remember as a freshman in high school I would hurry home and I think I skipped my last hour to watch the episode of Luke and Laura getting married. I also remember Jacklyn Zeman playing Bobby and her husband being Rick Springfield Noah Drake
Taking medication has improved your quality of life! If you are diabetic you take insulin, if you have a heart issue you take medication etc. If it improves your health & your quality of life it is so important!
@🕊️ of desert I bonded with my grandmother over general hospital also with us both being bipolar I really hated it during the pandemic not being face to face with someone I do multiple different therapies one of them is dialectical behavioral therapy and the other one is called EMDR reliving your pain of the past and trying to get rid of it I am on some really good meds right now which helps me with my grandchildren trying to focus on being in the moment the past is the past the future we have no idea about so live each day in the moment Love watching your show
I got anxiety attacks after surgery 14 years ago. I spoke to the nurse practitioner, and her solution was medication. I didn't want to take those types of medication. I find that having my surroundings cold helps me. It started to become more frequent. It started when I overused my left hand when I did dialysis. I had a lot of attacks doing it where my equilibrium would be off and my pressure would drop so low. Now, I don't have it as bad but it does happen where my trigger finger will cramp, and so does my left hand has a fistula (dialysis) embedded in it. That entire hand would cramp and hurt and then my anxiety attacks would kick in.
Maurice I agree with you about seeing a therapist or Psychologist in person. I like to look into a person's eyes who are helping me, this way I can feel the help and the person focusing on me. I tried Zoom and it really feels like a disconnection feeling that you are not going through the emotions that you can in person. Also, when I did Zoom from my home. I was getting distractive with my surroundings and felt this wasn't right for me to work.
I have no PhD but I have a bachelor's and Behavioral Science and I agree 100% that most people that are addicts are masking what is hurting them inside
You know that's weird because that's what my shaking does when I get overwhelmed I sit here and Shake. I think it's because I've been holding in so much and my body can't take it anymore and it goes into this panic mode. My neurologist says that it's from my sleep apnea which I have a CPAP now but I felt this little trimmer in my neck when I was 28 years old and now I'm 58 and I never thought it would be like this. I remember watching my Grandma sitting there watching TV and her head with shake and a yes or no back and forth pattern. That's what mine has done until 2020 when I got diagnosed with diabetes and sleep apnea.
I am tapering off a benzodiazepine that I used for insomnia for 7 months. Very difficult! The prescription benzo dependence (not addiction) is going to be the next epidemic. Be careful. Don’t take benzos for any length of time!
Great episode but I am more of an in person type. I feel with zoom there is a delay . Inflection , facial reaction . Zoom there are distractions around.
@🕊️of desert The more anxious I am the more I shake Don't ask me why but I have tremors most times that don't go away I equate it with my anxiety just like I have self-soothing techniques one of them is to rock back and forth I am learning new ones now but apparently I've done this rock back and forth thing and unfortunately hitting my head on stuff while doing it as a small child trying to find new ways these days but in a panic or doing EMDR I find myself rocking back and forth most of the time crying like a baby there is no shame in that
My friends who had bad addictions lots of them who have been clean for 20 plus years have used buspar off on. The ones who have trouble I see who refuse to ever try any meds ever and groups tell them not to that the meds are just as bad as drinking and drugs. Ex was like that and he also compulsive gambler
@🕊️ 0f desert I do a lot of breathing That's a dialectical behavioral therapy That's how to retrain your brain but there are times I don't leave the house I just have to know my limitations and there's a lot of times I do things like burn incense jam music and do tribal screams to get rid of anger because I also have anger issues stemming from my past abuse find something that calms you down hearing water staring at a candle flame burning your favorite in sons jamming your favorite music anything to help you get through there were times I was institutionalized I didn't think I'd ever have custody of my child she is also bipolar we do not kids but more often than not she calls me and asked me how to phrase things so she doesn't upset people we both have like a hair trigger and get cruel at times that part I am trying to change about myself she is too
Alcohol is dangerous and most p r please don't think how hard it is. I know many If I didn't have the diseases I do I might have went down that road but I never wanted to be in hospitals like I had to be so much. Alcohol font mix with most meds
While I can’t believe that Frank and writers would keep you in this role with not taking medication - I think that you need to have instincts that warn you that this is not going to be good for your mental health and don’t do it. Possibly you were worried about your job?

Yes! The online “therapy” experience DOES NOT work for a lot of us! Especially someone with ADHD! I’ve tried BetterHelp for years and finally gave up. ADHD is difficult enough to handle and yet with the very little help out there for adult women in general true help seems impossible to find! It’s utterly hopeless. Covid is a gift that keeps on giving 😒👎🤬
Watching again every Sunday faithfully, State of Mind helps me push through life since losing my daughter in February of this year.
After watching this, should I be qualified to help someone?
You got this!

This so amazing !!! I can’t wait for this one ❤😊
I do zoom when I’m afraid to interact deeply or feeling lazy. It definitely doesn’t help me like in person. Zoom I can hide!!!
Thanks needed this now. ❤❤❤❤❤
Great info about Narcon!!! Thanks Maurice!
My pleasure!

Good afternoon

Getting off of benzodiazepines can be extremely challenging, don't give up, it's great that you realized it and have the courage to work on it.
Great episode but I am more of an in person type. I feel with zoom there is a delay . Inflection , facial reaction . Zoom there are distractions around.

I love Xanax too. But I get afraid I’ll get addicted 😮
My friends who had bad addictions lots of them who have been clean for 20 plus years have used buspar off on. The ones who have trouble I see who refuse to ever try any meds ever and groups tell them not to that the meds are just as bad as drinking and drugs. Ex was like that and he also compulsive gambler
I have so many meds I have to write it diem because of all the other issues physical addisons, degenerative disc etc steroids have to take reck body
Getting my my physical drs to work with my really good physiatrist is hell. Ins. Disability rules
