Jersey Shore<\/em>\u2019s Ronnie Ortiz-Magro<\/strong> is opening up about his mental health after fans expressed concern over his behavior in a recent viral video.<\/p>\n

In a series of Instagram Story posts on Tuesday, May 5, Ortiz-Magro, 40, revealed that he suffers from depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to start by saying thank you to everyone who has reached out and shown support,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI really appreciate all of the fans sharing their stories of mental health struggles with me. It shows that we are not alone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEven though everything may look perfect on the outside, every day I battle my depression, bipolar [disorder] and anxiety in silence,\u201d the reality star continued. \u201cI know there are many people who do the same. While there are prescription medications that I take to help me manage symptoms, and I participate in weekly therapy, etc., unfortunately, and as others in similar situations can attest, these are ongoing measures and not a finite\/permanent cure.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tJersey Shore\u2019s Ronnie Ortiz-Magro is spreading awareness about mental health after sparking concern in a recent video. \u201cHigh functioning depression is waking up each day with a face that works but a heart that doesn\u2019t, doing everything you\u2019re supposed to do while feeling nothing inside, and most days it\u2019s like being trapped in your own [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ortiz-Magro went on to address recent footage of him appearing to drift off to sleep during a recent interview with his Jersey Shore<\/em> castmates. Clips of the appearance went viral last week as fans shared concerns for the star\u2019s health.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have tried very hard to not let any of my symptoms impact how I show up for my Jersey Shore family and the fans. Last week, what you saw during that interview was evidence of my ongoing struggle,\u201d he explained. \u201cSome recent emotional events had begun to wear on me. Medication has helped me manage my symptoms, but it can have side effects. Typically, I can work through the effects in private. Wanting to be with my castmates for a press tour celebration at the same time as carrying this weight required me to work through the effects in a public setting; as a result, I was taped nodding off, which started rumors and accusations. I thought I could be strong enough to get through it, but what you saw was me trying to battle through one of my toughest moments. I pushed myself to try to show up for other people when I just needed to show up for myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have learned that no matter the situation, event, or circumstances, you have to put your mental health first and prioritize your own care no matter what, and I will continue to do that every day,\u201d Ortiz-Magro continued. \u201cIt means the world to me that everyone has rallied for me and has seen past the rumors.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease feel free to reach out to continue to share your experiences, as it makes me (and everyone else reading) feel like they are not alone,\u201d he concluded. \u201cThank you again to everyone who sent their prayers and love! It means more at a time like this more than I can explain. If you know anyone suffering from mental health-related difficulties, please be kind and patient.\u201d<\/p>\n
