Yes you have to have faith. I'm a 3 time cancer survivor. Colon and liver twice. But I had faith the Lord will cure me and he did and I've been cancer free going on 17 years. I trusted the Lord to keep me cancer free and he did❤️🙏
thank you

Hi Maurice/Sonny; My heart aches for you b/c of the recent loss of two friends in your Life. 😢❤ You know what, I truly believe your friend’s Lives in this Life Journey was impacted by you. B/c I have alot of respect and admiration of you. Even though I never met you, I feel as if I know you through your Podcast. My Hats off to you and your beautiful wife, Paula. Hey I have something in common with your wife, my names Paula too!! I’m 62, conquered Breast CA, am fighting every day with Multiple Sclerosis, loss of friends due to my illness; family members not understanding my disease and everything that goes along with it. My mental health also gets affected but I ALWAYS rely upon GOD. My Faith has gotten me through many challenges and even now.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ State Of Mind, Thank You Maurice Bernard for all that You Say and Do
Hello Mr.Bernard my name is John Sauer let me first start by saying thank you so very much your show is amazing I have struggled all my life with depression I’m a 49 year old man living in Florida in 2023 I lost both my mom and my dad 7 months apart I just have to say I love you man from the bottom of my heart I was
Particularly touched and very grateful for the opportunity to listen to the show with Matt Cohen and I just have to thank you for your wonderful words of support thank you for sharing and your show has helped me immensely love you love what you do please keep on doing it
Sometimes a person can have people who DO love them and ARE there for them and STILL lose them to suicide. It's such an internal struggle. The hardest part to understand is that you can do everything in your power to help someone who's struggling. But at the end of that, only the person struggling can find their way out of that dark place. Because sometimes when you're there, you push people away, especially those you love and who love you. Because you don't want your pain to touch them. It's so hard and so complicated. There are no easy answers.
I think your point is a really important one. We can love the suffering person more than anything and they can know we would do anything for them to help them heal. But the decision is ultimately up to them. I think it is a grave disservice to the families and friends of those who have committed suicide to paint it all with the same brush by saying that person was "all alone" and had no one.
☮️
@@Karina-uf3blthank you for saying that. I lost an older brother and almost lost my younger one both to suicide. Both deeply loved and supported by my family. The younger one is now in therapy, thank God. He lives in Florida and I'm in California which makes it hard because of the distance. But we talk on the phone when he's in the headspace to talk. I don't push but I do make it very clear that I love him, I have his back and support him fully in his recovery. But ultimately, he understands that his recovery is up to him to work on every single day.
Exactly true because I too have experienced this with an individual. So basically it comes down to the will of a person. They have to really want a different way of life.
Matt really has the gift of gab.
What a tremendous State if Mind! Matt needs his own show! And to you, God's has work for you.. even as Sonny, you are an example to those who suffer with mental illness. They can overcome, just like you, even though you have setbacks. 👏👏👏👏
Loving Matt’s hair!!
I just want to thank you both! I am bipolar and don't have a support system. State of Mind had been a major help in my Life!
When Matt Cohen and you said that there is chaos everywhere, this is so true. When he mentioned Billy Miller and Tyler Christopher it brought tears to my eyes. Over 34 years ago I tried to take my life. Now that I’m 67 I try to be more positive and with the help of my children and State of Mind and my faith in God l try to look at certain situations differently. We can definitely learn from each other and try not to judge one another because at the end of the day we do not know what someone is going through. Much love to you Maurice and your family and guests. 🥰🇨🇦🇮🇹🤗
This is SO TRUE! But we also need to remember to ❤ everyone unconditionally! Sometimes that can be hard, but we need to try our best!
I love Matt Cohen ❤❤❤❤❤
Matt is amazing! I never knew.Thanks for sharing him with us.
Great conversation. Matt is just terrific and boy, hurts my heart hearing about Billy & Tyler.
After listening to this conversation, and speaking about Tyler and Billy, they may not have known how to accept help or how to receive love from friends and family. Something you may not know as well, there are not enough people in the healthcare field. I work in the Medicare field for 18 states, and there is not enough people in the mental health field. Also insurance is another problem. No one can afford it. I struggle every single day. I’m bi-polar adhd severe anxiety and depression and nervous ticks. And I’m 44 yrs old. It’s not easy , but I have to keep going for my family. I wish you all the best. Keep going.
Please Maurice dont stop acting. We love you 🥰❤️🙏🥰🥰
Thank you Maurice & Matt. This podcast went by so fast. It was amazing. So many topic touch and important infomation put out there. People need to be kind and help one another! Matt I hope you come back soon. I feel this podcast could have kept going for another hour.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks you Maurice for having Matt on.I really enjoyed him.♥️👍
Maurice, thank you for letting us get to know Matt. Once again, State of Mind comes through 😘
I’m so sorry for your loss Maurice. I’m 60 as well. I haven’t had that kind of loss but I know at our age, more and more loss is inevitable. Just being born in 63 like I was helps me in listening to you. I’ve recently gone on anxiety meds and it’s made such a difference in my life. Thank you for being here for those of us who struggle with mental health and for being a role model for those born in 1963.
Matt and Maurice knew them ..
@@hl3818 My condolences to both Matt and Maurice. As a fan for 48 years, we will miss them as well. Thanks for all you do. I’m guessing this is Paula.
I loved Matt Cohen’s role on GH. This was a great interview. God bless you Matt and Maurice. I am so thankful to Maurice for creating State of Mind. Mental health is so important.🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️
Faith is everything
State of Mind helps in the way of enlightening us about others and ourselves. People telling their stories can save someone's life. Thanks MB!
This is SUCH AN IMPORTANT DISCUSSION!! I suffer from Chronic Depression, Severe Anxiety, and lately a lot of ANGER. MY Sister is Bipolar, and I know it runs in families!
I have a friend who does Podcasts here in Utah, and She is Amazing. Her Sister died by Suicide many years ago I STRONGLY BELIEVE, that if you have Faith and a Higher Power, or whatever, YOU NEED TO HOLD ON TO THAT!
My friend, I mentioned, speaks around the Country. She says “please stay in your body! You are NEEDED!”
Oh, and I’m on Antidepressants. And it’s OKAY! There is NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING ON ANTIDEPRESSANTS!!
So I’m here to say,
“PLEASE STAY IN YOUR BODY!” You are NEEDED!
I can’t say I haven’t thought I DIDN’T want to be here, at times, but C’mon! We need to BE HERE WE HAVE WORTH! ❤
After this interview, I think Matt is a priest in real life! lol. These are two men with amazing loving hearts. Great interview. Matt Cohen for President!
Matt Cohen, I actually live in Broward County, in Pompano! My dad's house is near Perry Airport on Hollywood/Pines Blvd. I adored your GH character, Griffin. I still hold out hope that you'll come back to the show!! I very much enjoyed your talk with Maurice!!! Thanks for your positivity!
Maurice, I can't imagine how hard some days are for you dealing with anxiety and all that you have had to deal with. Thank you for this talk and for ALL the talks. The work you do here is so much appreciated and when you are having a bad day, I want you to remember that someone (like many others) you don't even know is happy you exist and grateful for your kindness and heart. Thank you!
Maurice and Matt, this topic is so delicate, it happens a lot . I might be wrong i don't know but i think that anyone who's going thru a really tough time should find someone professional to talk too . I know it's expensive and many people cannot afford a theraphy session but it'a very important, i don't have a professional therapist but i do vent out when i'm going thru a hard time with one of my cousins she lives in my hometown brazil ..
Maurice and Matt i'm sorry for your loss ..
P.S i'm bipolar and i have few health issues and i deal with a lot daily and i deal with depression too ..
Talk to a Family member or a Friend don't stay quiet ..
great talk; question: did anyone encounter that the audio was a bit off? The sound felt tinny to me.
Never cared for the "Griffin Monroe" character on GH as I felt he was weak, sympathetic, and condescending. Just proves that Matt is a true actor for making us believe he is anything but. :) Thanks for having yet another "Hero" on your program Mo. This episode ROCKED.
absolutely
Very Powerful, Honest. and as Maurice stated Brave. Faith over Fear is what I say. Blessings. *Maxi*
What a deep, meaningful conversation. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
This converastion with Matt was moving, Maurice! Thank you for all that you do for mental health!
I feel like you do Maurice about homeless people. I always feel so heartbroken when I see a homeless person. In our great country I feel there should not be homeless people.
Yeah I have a friend who's homeless I feel bad for him being on the streets in the cold
This conversation in my opinion is one of the best ones you have ever had. Talking about the hard things that most of us have at least thought of who suffer from mental health issues. God Bless you Maurice. I know losing Tyler and Billy hurts so much. They both loved you so much and I know you loved them. ❤
❤
Yes, they had nothing but respect for you!
Truth on your opening comments on our current status about not for each other Matt and we should be🙏❤️
Another great State of Mind, thank you! ❤
Matt Cohen, I could listen to you all day! You are an incredible young man. To be honest, I watch ‘State of Mind’ because I have watched GH since the late 60’s and because I can watch all the actors who in some ways feel like friends after all of these years. (Yes…I’m old-ish and life is good, by the way). The bonus for me for watching this show is listening to people like you and Maurice and the list goes on and on. Wow! The content on this show is so good and you are remarkable! By the way, I am a strong proponent of gratitude, and any chance I get, I talk about it and share the benefits of being grateful with as many people as I can. Thank you for being you! And thank you, Maurice, for creating this platform. I get the feeling that having these chats is beneficial to your well-being, which I love! Likewise, I learn something during each podcast and again, thank you!
Good job Maurice and Matt! Matt Cohen: you should do your podcast / show and call it: I’m here for the conversation. 😁
Wow! This was an amazing interview! Matt and Moe, blessings , strength and continued success in every area of your lives!
Hello Maurice it was a amazing interview with Matt Cohen I always look forward to your show thank you
A 5 star🌟 podcast! Thank you both! 🩷
Thank you for discussing suicide. One of my best friends from high school took her own life at age 25. I was shocked and confused. Felt guilty as I had not talked with her much during that time. If only I’d kept in touch. You think you could have made a difference. Sadness comes over me when I think
about her. Since then I now check in with family and friends to
see how they are doing. I wish I had talked with her about God. Now I pray for others and try to be there for them. Faith in the one true God.
Thanks! ❤
Yes you will God is good for everyone Blessings ❤️🙏🏽
Can't wait to see this, two of my favorite actors ..
..😊😊😊😊😊😊..
Loved this segment Maurice 💋❤️🩹♥️
Thank you for participating Matt Cohen
You’re the best
Loved Matt in Supernatural❤. My sister-in-law committed suicide 15 years ago, she was 29 years old. My brother never remarried and I don’t believe ever recovered because he feels he should have known she was suffering but she was always sweet, fun and playful and was full of life. I feel like he’s punishing himself for not knowing, my heart breaks for him. I’m hoping I can get him to watch your videos, I believe they will help him so thank you for doing these videos.
Great conversation with Matt and happy Sunday 👍👍👍
This really touched me faith is so important
Matt's talk reminded me of seeing Jack Canfield on Super Soul Sunday - he wrote Chicken Soup for the Soul - they were talking about Journaling & he said he'd started one entitled
"Where Could I have been..."
It was to basically ground you, where could I have been more courageous, empathetic or... during the day. I think that speaks to the "community" theme that Matt was getting at because
"United we stand, divided we fall."
I agree about alcohol, I had an uncle who drank and told me (with a stutter, he had when he drank)
"Niece always remember a drunk ain't 💩!"
I did/have 😊
Good show Maurice & Paula, I love Matt & his character on GH was refreshing - that storyline of him being a fish outta water in Port Charles - esp its conclusion was awesome, miss him on the show.
Namaste 🙏🏼
Great interview in Maurice Benard
Cannot wait for the Show!
He is incredible and very powerful words!
So excited for this interview with Matt 🙌🙌 Love him and his acting-career
So sad to hear about your losses Maurice 🥺
Big Supernatural and GH fan. Have seen him on ET too
Maurice good to see Matt Cohen again.❤️👍
Excellent, raw conversation.
this interview was great i really loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i love matt's personalty his kindness and that he can talk about anything and i love that he is real i love his vibe
I haven't even watched it yet, and I know it's going to be so heartfelt. I can't wait to watch on Monday
This was a amazing show with Matt Cohen state of Mind is amazing thank you for your show
Great Inteview! Good to see Matt! 😊
This is one of my favorite SOM episodes. Matt is just easy to listen to and I would LOVE to hear more stories from him. It would be fascinating to hear. He’s a good guy. I REALLY love your idea on the boxing ring. It Is needed! Thanks so much Mo! ❤❤
Thoroughly enjoyed the chit-chat going down MEMORY LANE - a special thank you for the discussion on my sport Mixed martial Arts Grappling - I retired from the ring after receiving Aggressive Combat Championships 2011 Honorary Hall of Fame in Danbury, CT. I am super impressed with both Maurice Benard and Matt Cohen - especially the interviewing of both one on one -back and forth.
Good enough friends? That's the answer? Sometimes even when you put yourself out there, you're still alone. I have to disagree with the friend thing. It doesn't work. YOU have to recognize your own self worth.
@charlesmento5968: Your words? Describe my life😲😲!! I have lived in America all my adult life and, I have NO friends. Haven't had a meaningful friendship since I migrated from Jamaica!! But, that's OK!! Because, I've triumphed over HUGE health challenges and two Traumatic Brain Injuries. So, regardless of me not having emotional support, I KNOW . . ., I'm in this world for a reason and a purpose. Unlike many people though, I have never been on an endless search for validation. Instead, I pray very often, sing Spiritual songs and find reasons to laugh. Those are the things that get me through🙌🏿👐🏿✊🏿!! Hallelujah!
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿Amazing job, Mr Benard and Mr Cohen.
Thank you Mr. Matt Blessings to you and your beautiful family ❤️🙏🏽
Wow very Powerful Thanks 🙏🏽

What a awesome interview , Matt is a great guy miss him on GH….
I think it would be cool for both of you to go to high schools and talk to the kids about mental health and pros and cons and to say what you guys been through and tell them to get help, talk to someone or everyone what they're going through ❤
One of the BEST interviews Maurice has ever done!!! Could have gone on for hours.
This was a really great interview! Enjoyed the honesty and rawness. Super refreshing.
All I can say is FANTASTIC!! I always learn something new from these interviews. I really appreciate it Mr. Bernard. I find it’s helping me a lot in my own journey of life. Always a fan. 🙂
I Love Listening To Him Talk About Alot Of Things That Has Been Happening Now That Is True And Everything He Has Been Doing Be Nice To See Him Again He Has Did Alot. And Love How He Talks About Things Great Interview Hope He Is Back On Again
Another powerful state of mind. Thanks so much for doing these. Life would not be the same without these. A tremendous help with metal illness. ❤️🙌🏼
Wow! This was deep! I hope you do do the one in the boxing gym. It will be amazing.
LOVE YOU BOTH LOVED THIS interview!
Unfortunately our family lost a very close beautiful young teenager to suicide over the summer. My kids, my husband and I are all in therapy and can’t imagine how we would be dealing without it. Thank you for this conversation, it really hits home.
This was a phenomenal one of the best State of Minds ever. Loved it Maurice, would love to see Matt come back again I’m sure there is so much more to be said. And yes you should get these men together Stephan A Smith etc.. that would be something to see. Thank you for another great State of Mind!♥️
Maurice & Matt ty 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Oh I watched that same podcast. No one thinks Shia has anything to say. But I listened.
Matt your candor and honesty is beautiful. This today, is going to help so many of us.
I wonder how boxing would work for an out of shape, fat almost 60 year old lady.
Today the loneliness was pulling me down. Although I’m a crying mess, I appreciate this one today Mo. thank you both for making today easy.
Tomorrow I’ll go in to it a lot better. REASONS!
Love SOM go Maurice ❤!! Love your show!! And you will get a million and more!! Love yall hey Matt yall are right everyone is suffering some mental health challenges it's so good to talk about it i suffer with anxiety which is controlled by meds thank God for Meds i suffer with that also just worrying what people think or say about me too trying to resolve it !!

First learned about Matt from Supernatural...loved him on that show! Love him on GH! And Maurice you are an amazing human being. ❤️
Great interview ❤
This interview is the best! Matt is one special youngman. He talks like you're his friend. He cares so much about others ahead of himself is wonderful. Thank you MO for this kind sir. State Of Mind helps me alot for my anxiety issues which are bad. The espisode where you walked around your property when you felt anxiety-gave me the idea of walking around mine cause i was having bad anxiety about something. It helped to get in touch with nature. Thank you kind sir. I enjoyed this one. Blessed be to you and Matt. ❤🙏🌹
You’re both amazing!
This us my favorite interview!
Matt, you are a wonderful person to offer help to others. I think you should create a website that people who are struggling can use to reach out to you for advice and guidance.
Matt is a wonderful compassionate person❤️
