Tonight's season premiere of "Jersey Shore" ended with Vinny saying he's "about to bounce." While it was probably a surprise for viewers to witness the most levelheaded and emotionally stable of the cast acting otherwise, chronic anxiety and depression are not new to Vinny's life. We recently invited the thinking man's guido into the office to talk about his ongoing mental struggles and how they got triggered in Seaside. Turns out, he started feeling off before he touched ground in the States: "Literally, my last day of Italy I started having a familiar feeling coming back to me that I've had in the past," he admits in the interview clip below. "It carried over into Jersey."
Watch the video to hear intimate details from Vinny about his state of mind at the beginning of Season 5, including what caused him to shed tears upon seeing his family gathered together during the episode's surprise party.
