Absolutely great podcast. Kin Shriner is a gem for daytime. I love hearing how folks share their experiences and how they got through it. Really appreciate Kin sharing his insights into OCD. Thank you Maurice for making these possible !!!
@@MBStateOfMind Hey, Maurice, my mom loves your character Sonny. I hope you're doing well and staying safe during the pandemic. Tell Laura White that I said hi.
Thank you Kin Shriner for showing me I am not alone. My OCD is all about keeping everything clean and organized. I call myself a tidy tilly and use humor about myself to deal with it
Thank you so much for this talk, my oldest son has Asperger's, OCD and High Anxiety. I also have OCD and panic attacks, I can make myself crazy! I love State of Mind, Maurice you are awesome!
Maurice... You have a way of bringing forth The Best In Others These person to person talks BETTER Than any of the tv talk programs... Serious, informative and interesting
Thank you, Maurice and Kin for talking about OCD. Each and every interview you conduct gives me something. I am going to show this interview to my 17 year old granddaughter who struggles with OCD. It’s interesting to know now many people struggle with mental health issues. Thank you for taking being an advocate. God Bless♥️
OCD can be so incredibly challenging to deal with. For me it was/is cleaning everything to obsess. But in therapy it connected that the majority of it occured/occurs because of rape/sexual assault in my past. I felt/feel like nothing in my life was/is ever clean enough. I was given tools to help me in those obsessive moments. Because of therapy I am not as obsessive about it as I was when I was younger but like Kin said, it really never goes completely away. You just have good days and bad days...a huge thank you to Kin for coming on the podcast again to speak out on a subject that still has a degree of stigma surrounding it. He explains it very well. Maurice, you and your podcast are such a comfort and blessing. Keep doing what you do!!
What an amazing podcast. And I remember Lee and Gail I loved them on GH. You are right 16 is young to lose your parents. My nephews lost both their parents at 6 and 4. I am so grateful that you have started this podcast, and you have such interesting guests to talk to. Thank you Maurice.
Your show truly hit home. Never thought about the loss of my mom before 3 ,my dad's alcoholism, and his death when I was 24. Kin hit home when he said you live as a survivor. I ended up being the parent to my dad. He was a great guy when sober. When drinking the violence is something that still gives me ptsd. He tried strangling me in a stupor. However he insisted on education. Graduated first ,summa cut laude. And succeeded in being awarded the bar scholarship. My rough childhood gave me the guts to open the first female law office in town. Unfortunately Lyme disease robbed me of my dream after 23 years loving my career. What hit me is no matter how you counsel. The deep impenetrable loss is your constant companion sub consciously. Like Kin said you just become a survivor . I think we can change but deep loss when we are in the imaginary phase of life leaves scars we cover in attempting to be normal. Your book was excellent. Your wife is admirable. Your candor refreshing beyond measure. I thank you.
Ocd is a symptom that puts thoughts in your head that aren't normal. You feel like you have to do certain things or it makes you go crazy. I always felt if I didn't check on things something bad would happen. I had to do rituals or felt something bad would happen. I dont know how to not take meds. Being on meds makes me able to live with it. I still have things I do at times to calm me but it doesn't control my mind as bad as it did. I have anxiety too but that's cause I worry about things. But meds make my life copable.... I can get to talking fast too like Kin if I get excited about something. Lolol. He doesn't sound like he takes meds. Just deals with it. If it works for him that's good but we all are different and for most of us we need the therapy/meds. I don't think people should say therapy or meds is not gonna help you. I feel he comes across like that. Like just deal with it and you can control it. That doesn't work for everyone. You should talk to different people about OCD and anxiety. We all have different ways we deal with it. I think you know that though. Not trying to be rude or anything I just felt like I had to comment because I didn't agree with the part where Kin said you push the thought out of your head and don't listen to it. It's not always that easy for everyone to do that.
Omg Maurice You and Kim are amazing since you've started State of Mind it puts me at ease dealing with anxiety and cancer and the pain that comes with it You are trully authentic strong courageous also with what you go through and really make us what life is about with mental illnesses im very greatful that with your loving family and your beautiful wife Paula God Bless her for her calmness and strength and love for you and your kids blessings to you and all your loved ones Till next State of Mind ps your episodes hands down better than going to a Dr you have such a kind way to have people open up to you and us your viewers
I am so grateful to you, Kin. Thanks for sharing. I have OCD also, and you are right, the only way is through. I find it hard to get there sometimes, but I am working on it. Blessings to you both.
I suffer OCD and the intrusive, recurring thoughts are so scary and troublesome. When you are going through this you really believe you are crazy. Thanks you for this State of Mind, and thanks to Kin for putting OCD into perspective. It is amazing hearing all these different people sharing their experiences that are so, so similar to mine. It really is a big help in making me realize it just isn’t me going through this. Thanks so much for all this help. Love and prayers for you and all suffering any form of mental illness. ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
I’m so sorry that you and your brother Lost your parents so young. You are an amazing person Kin. God bless you. Thanks for another take Great state of mind. 💙💙💙💙
Thank you so much for these interviews. They don’t just help those suffering from these mental illnesses. I have none (that I know of!), but so many of the people near to me (parent, aunts, cousins, employer, kids I am close to) suffer from depression, bipolar, OCD, anxiety, etc. and I’ve found that the biggest stressor for me is that I have zero understanding of what they’re feeling. And they can’t relate to me, because they have no idea how to NOT think like they do. I end up shouldering so much of their stress to try and ease the burden on them, and as a result, there are times when I come to resent it. Because I feel like I am being punished for being mentally healthy! But hearing, in detail, the minute-by-minute struggle some people have, fighting with their own thoughts, renews my compassion, and determination to simply help the best I can.
So the battlefield is in the mind. Every person has to learn how to control the thought that go through your mind. If you don't you can develop strongholds of thoughts that you don't want and now you have to to tear down the strongholds of those thoughts that are tearing you down. When someone becomes a born again Christian they too have to battle the thoughts that were okay when you didn't know the Lord. Now you have the mind of Christ and flesh doesn't want you to follow Jesus so you'll get those thoughts of things you used to do or say so you have to stay with the battle and control the thoughts that go through your mind. God bless you and your family!
I’m a constant checker. Every morning before I leave for work I start the checking. But Kin explained it perfectly. I remember when Kin worked at NBC studios on Avenue M in Brooklyn NY. Use to see him walking by.
I really appreciated this talk on OCD. It was very sincere and helpful. There are times when my mind will cause me to check things over and over again. After a few times I tell myself no and I stop and move on.
Love that Kim has became so educated and is spreading knowledge. Driving around the block to check in the cat would be called a compulsion. Similar to checking ect. We can even have mental compulsions. OCD can be tricky and come in many forms. I have had it over 20 years but meds and just in the last year I found an OCD specialist for therapy has improved my life so much. I'll never be cured but I have been able to find some relief.
I have to make sure I turn the front and back porch lights off at or by 7am every morning. Even during the winter when the sun doesn't even rise until 7:20am. If the porch lights are on after 7am... I can't even describe the feeling.
I started watching GH with my grandma back in the 70s so I could watch Dark Shadows after. I still watch you all today. I love you both. This just makes me love you more.
I totally get the OCD thought process. And being anxious and nervous and a worrier. Before I started school as a kid, I was already biting my nails down to the quick. I can't be still, either. It is horrible. But one thing I was thinking while listening and laughing with you: Everything has two sides. When it comes to mental health, we are always looking to, basically, fix it. But one thing I haven't ever tried to do is to see if this burden comes with a gift of any kind. I'm not talking about seeing lottery numbers but more of a...can this be utilized for anything good? Even if it is a little thing. I don't know. I need to think on it. Maurice and friends...you are acting on behalf of God. Soldier on. Thank you!
Thanks Maurice for this great interview with Kin. I appreciate that you brought up the difficult topic of loss/grief. Most want to hide from this difficult conversation. I had so much in common with today’s state of mind due to my own loses in my family. As always God Bless and thanks 🙏
Thoroughly enjoyed this podcast. Mr. Shriner described me to the "T." I learned from this podcast. Also his comments about his growing up and some kids of today are spot on. Enjoy watching both of you on GH.
SO insightful! Thank you for all you do! I was having all sorts of bells and whistles and a-ha moments watching this. I suffer from intrusive and recurring thoughts, a form of OCD. And I was nodding at everything Kin was saying - wow! A huge fan of you both for YEARS by the way! Big hugz!
Great show I've said it before and I will say it again, I thoroughly relate to Kin, you have to train your mind and work through OCD there is no magical pill are really therapy you just have to work through it, It's hard to understand I'm sure. Maurice I think I know what you were prepping for and I have lost both of my parents, hang in there ❤️
I really enjoyed this episode also. Kin is very entertaining and I love hearing all of the knowledge he has regarding OCD. I have OCD tendencies and this was very informative. Thank you for all you do!
Thankyou Kin Shriner and Maurice! You have made so much sense for me but here I sit saying but what if you wondering about whether you shut the burner on stove off or not is legit? So now you see thats where I go wrong because the consequences of being wrong could be drastic. So I go back and check. I have won that battle a few times and still do for the most. I never put a name to it though because I'm not big on putting names on things I have seen some people get a name put to a condition and after that, its seems like a legit excuse and they get much worse
Thanks again Maurice and getting Kin to open up about OCD which does needs to be talk about more in the open. And hearing about Kin parents. Once again great interview Mo.
Oh thank you both for this interview! Recently I sought professional help for these same type of symptoms checking the stove , locking the door, Rechecking my work tasks AND the driving thoughts!!!!! My therapist thankfully helped me realize this was OCD behavior but she hadn’t heard of the driving / hurting someone thought. The fact that Kin spoke on it was just more confirmation that I’m not the only one.
What a Powerful Episode!!! Thank you Kin For opening up about OCD, I myself have dealt with Episodes of OCD And Your not alone for this Disorder. Just because Guys Like Scott and Sonny play Characters on GH, Mental Disorders Hit So many people Like Myself and Maurice and Kin. Fantastic State of Mind Mo.........
Kin... Great thought on leaving ...remembering to smile.laugh Also like your thought on when a person.friend. .loved one dies. Catch up with you later Meet you on the other side Blessings to You
Excellent description Kin. My son also has OCD and struggled many years, now he has since learned to handle it and can function more effectively now. Thank you for your insight.
Maurice these Interviews are amazing !!! I just found your channel yesterday when my sister shared a video with me!! This interview with Kin was awesome!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 thank you both for sharing your lives .
Kin adds such a wonderful presence to GH. I have watched him for decades on the show, and he’s developed his character so much. Also, Scotty is so funny! So brave of him to share so much about OCD. 💖
I just found this channel and it's so helpful! I just wanted to say, people can be helped by medicination and specific therapies. It is not curable but symptoms can be lessened. Just want to put that out there for anyone who may have been discouraged by those statements. Otherwise, great description and interview.
I enjoyed this talk with Kin Shriner very much (love him as Scotty on GH!) It was so interesting to hear about his OCD. I can relate to what he was saying about compulsive thoughts and not giving in to them. Thank you for State of Mind, Maurice, I have only recently discovered the podcast and am really enjoying it.
Wow, I love this interview. Now I understand how obsessive compulsive behavior works because he explained it so well. I remember Ken's character Scotty in GH he was the good guy. God bless and keep him. Maurice how about Uncle Trevor from All My Children, he was playing (Haley's) Kelly Ripper's uncle. It would be nice to see him on your show.
I love Scott Baldwin. OCD affects one of my best friends and I watch her go through her stuff. Its a counting thing, or it is a i need to this first.. or I need to touch this first. At times I am confused at her thinking but then I get it I take the time to try and help her and understand. There are times I have to walk her through her stuff. It is a hard thing.
My teenage son has OCD and things have to be completed to his satisfaction or he cannot move on. When he was younger we never told him anything about to happen until just before because he would plan out how every detail would go and would obsess over it. It is traumatizing for those of us around it, I cannot begin to imagine how it must be inside their head.
I love Gelsons in Santa Barbara on Upper State St. They carry pies from The Solvang Pie Company which are the best. Anyway..lol....because of my OCD brain I cant skim news article. I have to read and say every word in my head and if I dont panic and anxiety sets in. I know Im capable of skimming because I can do it on occasion and then I feel like I kicked OCD's ass...lol..but majority of the time when I dont go back and read the last word in the paragraph my anxiety is a mess. Its like my mind won't let me move on unless I read it. Its so frustrating. So when when Kin talks about going around the block thats how it is when Im reading I have to go "around the block" to functuon normally. I love this podcast so much. I have so many "Oh, its not just me" moments. It makes me very emotional watching these.
Kin says ocd isn't paranoia but it sounds very similar to me, even if if its not the out-to-get-me kind. Like if paranoia and anxiety had a baby it would be ocd.
I have OCD and there is nothing you can do about it. It drives people around me crazy and I always tell my family especially, you can get away from me but I can't get away from me ever. It is so hard to be this way.
Absolutely great podcast. Kin Shriner is a gem for daytime. I love hearing how folks share their experiences and how they got through it. Really appreciate Kin sharing his insights into OCD. Thank you Maurice for making these possible !!!

Another great episode. Thank you Kin for sharing. By the way… I still think of “Scotty” every time I hear The Who - Behind Blue Eyes 😊✌🏻
I learned a lot about OCD that I never knew or understood. Thank you both. 🤗😎
Thanks again Maurice, you know how to ask the right questions. I never miss your vlog, it helps people more than you know.
Thoroughly enjoyed this podcast. Mr. Shriner described me to the "T." I learned from this podcast. Also his comments about his growing up and some kids of today are spot on. Enjoy watching both of you on GH.
Great interview with kin I also suffer from ocd since I was a teen love hearing kin talk about his experience with it.
Great podcast especially for those who know someone with it and are trying to understand it more.
A very great chronicle of how to survive tribulation......very brave man. Inspiring. You both are so brave and admired.
SO insightful! Thank you for all you do! I was having all sorts of bells and whistles and a-ha moments watching this. I suffer from intrusive and recurring thoughts, a form of OCD. And I was nodding at everything Kin was saying - wow! A huge fan of you both for YEARS by the way! Big hugz!
Great show I've said it before and I will say it again, I thoroughly relate to Kin, you have to train your mind and work through OCD there is no magical pill are really therapy you just have to work through it, It's hard to understand I'm sure. Maurice I think I know what you were prepping for and I have lost both of my parents, hang in there ❤️

Love this! I have what I call “mild OCD”, and this makes perfect sense! Thank you!

Two Great Actors I Remember Lee& Gayle when I was younger Maurice keep up the good work I look forward to these interviews
As always a great podcast Maurice. I still feel Kin is hiding a great deal of pain. I love you both.
Kin adds such a wonderful presence to GH. I have watched him for decades on the show, and he’s developed his character so much. Also, Scotty is so funny! So brave of him to share so much about OCD. 💖
I am totally hooked on these podcasts.❤
I just found this channel and it's so helpful! I just wanted to say, people can be helped by medicination and specific therapies. It is not curable but symptoms can be lessened. Just want to put that out there for anyone who may have been discouraged by those statements. Otherwise, great description and interview.
I enjoyed this talk with Kin Shriner very much (love him as Scotty on GH!) It was so interesting to hear about his OCD. I can relate to what he was saying about compulsive thoughts and not giving in to them. Thank you for State of Mind, Maurice, I have only recently discovered the podcast and am really enjoying it.
Love you both. This was fabulous!!
Thank God you had someone to go to.
Great n well done
Big fan of both of you
I have OCD among my 4 mental illnesses. My mind never stops working.
Awesome actor. He and Luke and Laura were fabulous!
Go kin go gh! Hey Great work on as the world turns to!!👍👍
Congratulations on your Emmy! And for Max Gail and his Emmy too! 🤩
kin shriner--animated justice league's green arrow. YES!
Wonderfully informing thankyou!
Great interview! Thank you Maurice.
No medication for it? I paused and googled and SRIs are recommended. I'm so grateful to hear Kin.
Absolutely Love Kin Shriner and Lezal O.
Wow, I love this interview. Now I understand how obsessive compulsive behavior works because he explained it so well. I remember Ken's character Scotty in GH he was the good guy. God bless and keep him.
Maurice how about Uncle Trevor from All My Children, he was playing (Haley's) Kelly Ripper's uncle. It would be nice to see him on your show.
I love Scott Baldwin. OCD affects one of my best friends and I watch her go through her stuff. Its a counting thing, or it is a i need to this first.. or I need to touch this first. At times I am confused at her thinking but then I get it I take the time to try and help her and understand. There are times I have to walk her through her stuff. It is a hard thing.
My teenage son has OCD and things have to be completed to his satisfaction or he cannot move on. When he was younger we never told him anything about to happen until just before because he would plan out how every detail would go and would obsess over it. It is traumatizing for those of us around it, I cannot begin to imagine how it must be inside their head.
Wow I learned so much about OCD! Great interview!
I have always loved Kin Shriner. Would love to meet him.
I love Gelsons in Santa Barbara on Upper State St. They carry pies from The Solvang Pie Company which are the best. Anyway..lol....because of my OCD brain I cant skim news article. I have to read and say every word in my head and if I dont panic and anxiety sets in. I know Im capable of skimming because I can do it on occasion and then I feel like I kicked OCD's ass...lol..but majority of the time when I dont go back and read the last word in the paragraph my anxiety is a mess. Its like my mind won't let me move on unless I read it. Its so frustrating. So when when Kin talks about going around the block thats how it is when Im reading I have to go "around the block" to functuon normally. I love this podcast so much. I have so many "Oh, its not just me" moments. It makes me very emotional watching these.
Both great gh actors vv funny kind hearted ❤ God bless 🙌
New subscriber. Great interview, I learned a lot. Thank you.
Kin is my all time fav GH character!
Kin says ocd isn't paranoia but it sounds very similar to me, even if if its not the out-to-get-me kind. Like if paranoia and anxiety had a baby it would be ocd.
I have OCD and there is nothing you can do about it. It drives people around me crazy and I always tell my family especially, you can get away from me but I can't get away from me ever. It is so hard to be this way.
Love all these chat
