If you suffer from depression, you bury that deep deep down and you don\u2019t let anybody see it \u2014 or you don\u2019t talk about it \u2014 it\u2019s the worst thing you can do. Everybody\u2019s embarrassed or there\u2019s a stigma out there that you\u2019re weak, or that you\u2019re a \u2018p*ssy.\u2019 So you don\u2019t say anything and you keep it to yourself and you don\u2019t go seek help. Whether that\u2019s talk therapy or cognitive behavioral therapy, or see a psychiatrist, or whatever it is \u2026 people don\u2019t do it. And then that just leads to disaster.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>On How He Should\u2019ve Gotten Help For His Issues Sooner:<\/b> &#8220;Burying it down is just the worst thing you can do. It makes life hell on a daily basis. I was dealing with depression and anxiety having to walk around locker rooms and pretend like everything was ok and put on a face like \u2018oh, I\u2019m very happy,\u201d but I wasn\u2019t happy. I really should\u2019ve spoken up. I should\u2019ve gone and sought out help way earlier than I did. Because it just led to an absolute downfall of me, my career and William Patrick Morrissey III as a human being. I really should\u2019ve just grew a set of balls and just went and got help. And I didn\u2019t do that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>How Much Cass Was Drinking Prior to Suffering a Seizure:<\/b> &#8220;I\u2019ll tell you this \u2014 I\u2019ve never said this on record \u2014 I\u2019ll say it here \u2026 before the seizure, every day I was drinking a handle of Tito\u2019s vodka. Every motherf&#8212;ing day. A whole handle. You can ask my Drizly driver. He can attest to it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>On Feeling Like He Let People Down During Program with Daniel Bryan:<\/b> &#8220;I\u2019m happy I had that experience, but I\u2019m also disappointed in myself. I\u2019m disappointed that I let the company down. Vince down. Hunter down. I let Bryan down because Bryan was really excited to work with me. And I let him down. These are things I have to deal with now. Learning experiences. But, looking back on it, yeah \u2026 I\u2019m very disappointed in myself. I\u2019m more disappointed that I let people down that wanted that to work out. But there are bigger forces at hand that were going against me in that point in time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>On Going Off Script in Segment with Little Person Being a Huge Mistake:<\/b> &#8220;It was a f&#8212;ing mistake. It was a dumb decision on my part. So stupid. It was probably the worst decision I ever made. And it\u2019s so crazy what I was going through at the time, because if you would\u2019ve told anybody two years prior \u2014 even a year prior \u2014 that I was gonna do that, they would\u2019ve said \u2018you\u2019re f&#8212;ing crazy. He\u2019s a model employee.\u2019 I regret it to this day. So f&#8212;ing stupid. I just did what I thought was right and it was a very stupid decision. Very f&#8212;ing stupid. I shouldn\u2019t have done it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>Learning of His Release from Vince McMahon in a Nearly Hour-Long Meeting:<\/b> &#8220;We had a long talk. It was a great talk. We had a very very good conversation and we left very amicably. I have no bad things to say about that company. They treated me well. They put me in great spots. They did everything for me and I kinda just f&#8212;ed them over. I feel bad about that and I\u2019m disappointed in myself that I let a lot of people down.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>The Potential of a WWE Return:<\/b> &#8220;I do think the door is open. It\u2019s just a matter of what I want to do. It\u2019s tough to say right now [if he\u2019d like to return]. It\u2019s a tough life, man. People don\u2019t realize how tough that lifestyle is. Mentally, right now, I feel like I\u2019m in a good place. I feel like I\u2019m in a very good place to handle that schedule, and to handle that life \u2014 that\u2019s where I feel like I\u2019m at right now \u2014 but I don\u2019t know what I want to do, man. I\u2019m kinda living life right now keeping my options open. There\u2019s plenty of wrestling out there in the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>On Planning to Spread the Word on the Importance of Mental Health:<\/b> &#8220;I would love to spread the word on mental health. I just think it\u2019s something that isn\u2019t talked about enough. I feel like it\u2019s something that is looked down upon and I feel like the stigma needs to change cause it\u2019s really affecting people\u2019s lives. People are out there offing themselves, committing suicide everyday, man. These are things that shouldn\u2019t happen.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"prowr-1712820197\" class=\"prowr-content-4 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_2 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\"
