Thank you Douglas! I'm o glad to hear positive recovery stories! I find that many times when you hear stories of mental illness it is associated with something bad like suicide....which in turn when someone is struggling they feel "oh no I guess that's how this ends up." We need more like you that inspire to show that you too can overcome and go to lead a successful and fulfilling life.
Thanks. I see successes every day, and it is important to report them.

"resilence is that quality that allows some people to get knocked down by life and come back stronger than ever. Rather than letting misfortune overcome them and drain their resolve, they find a way and raise from the ashes " -d.b.
I'm glad that you liked the quotation. By the way, I am doing a live UA-cam video chant tomorrow, Wednesday the 25th, at 11am Pacific Coast time. Just go to my channel then if you want to join in.
I meant to write "video chat."
Douglas Bloch haha a chant is just as powerful too!
i love the 'Everyday....in every way....I'm getting better and better'.....
You are one of the few that speak from personal experience. So many only want to get likes and make money.
The book of Job! Amen! 🙌🏼
Yes. Amen
Love this title. Someone who has been fortunate to not enter the depression bat cave is that getting to the want can even be the issue but im looking forward commitng no to a routine, diet and excersise. Even tho i know its not going to be a walk in the park, but Im welcoming the feeling. in some cases just getting to feel again is still feeling lol
Thanks Douglas. I see myself spiraling again. Comparing myself to people and regrets are my biggest issues right now. Sometimes instead of anxiety I just wish it all would end.
Kelly, you can learn how to break the habit of comparing yourself to others. Do you have a good therapist?
I hope I can come through yet another episode.
Life feels so hard.
I miss all the things I love to do.
I miss peace and joy.
Thank you xx
You can make it. What goes down must come up
Hang in there. I have the same feelings as you
This story really give me hope I heard this word like two days ago and looked it up it’s like god put things in front of us so we can see how far we can grow and I know I’m dealing with anxiety and depression right now but on day ima wake up and be myself again it will happen I just gotta keep my faith and trust god that it will
Yes, Hang in there. You can recover.
I know Douglas that you've received praise from your many subscribers
here on you tube. I'll add my own bit here by saying that I
applaude you for your contribution towards supporting mental health issues/recovery.
Your website has been my "go to" site for several years and as I know it's been the that for many others too.
Your approach to the topic is very professional and your videos implemented in a way that people who are
experiencing mental illness can put to good account.
This episode popped up on Thanksgiving Day, which was a real blessing! Hope is a powerful medicine. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family ❤️
Thanks again Jeanine
Awe bless and continued best recovery wishes to young Evan 🧸🧸🧸💙💙💙 and to Sam too 🌅
Really needed to hear this message Douglas. ...thank you. I listen to you most days and am a subscriber.
Thanks. If you click on the bell to the upper right of the subscribe button you will be notified each time I post a new video or do a live chat.
Mr.Bloch, love your jokes and video's!! Thank you sir (from Ireland)
You are welcome. I hope you can tune into my next UA-cam live chat on Wednesday at 7pm Ireland time. (assuming you are in the same time zone as London).
I somehow lost track of you... it's so good to see you again.
Love your jokes too.
Thanks. I need to hear the jokes myself for my own upliftment.
As the writer and lecturer Andrew Solomon put it; "the opposite of depression is not happiness ..but vitality".
That’s a beautiful quotation and very true. I’m glad you were listening to Andrew Solomon
@@DouglasBloch I'll just add quickly that my comment on thanking your contribution in targeting on such an important an often underinvested field of health and my comment on your professional methodology were needless
because their known things to your subscribers.
I just wanted to thank the fact that you share your knowledge here and that has and will continue to benefit us with mental illness in multiple ways:)
That metaphor is thousands of years old and is taken from the Hindu tradition.
Thank you, resilience is needed and belief that one can survive and get through. Excellent Douglas, you're a star ⭐
Your a blessing Douglas, thank you for helping me.
You are more than welcome. I'm glad that you found benefit in this video.
Thank you sir. I am in a very depressing state currently, I am going through a break up. Suicidal ideations are coming up every time. I feel there's no hope. But watching your videos gives me hope and a look forward feeling for the future. Keep making such videos. Thank you so much.
You are welcome
Thanks again Douglas. You are awesome and very helpful 👍 Have a great Christmas🎄 and Happy New Year🌞🌈
Same to you!
Thank you!
This is a wonderful video, Doug thank you for sharing your thoughts. I was glad to hear how prayers made a difference for your recovery to start.
I have been depressed from very early childhood. I believe my connection with people has messed up my life. I have never felt comfortable with people, even my own mother, and i hate to say it, but i've never actually liked her, she's been a useless mother, and yet i am human and need to be loved! I am a group animal! How resilient am i or can i be? Oh yes, i've lived to the age of nearly 60, but my quality of life has always been poor.
It's said "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" I'm still waiting to feel stronger!
Thank you for your comment. I'm sorry that human relationships have been difficult. Have you been in therapy to try to improve your situation?
My depression is slowly and surely killing me! I am convinced that I will end up in a mental hospital!
What kind of treatment have you sought for the depression. Depression is a treatable condition.
Thank you. Each of your sessions are so helpful to me.
You are welcome. It’s good to meet another baby boomer.
Thank you, Douglas. I needed to hear this today.
You are welcome. You might want to tune into my live video Q&A chat tomorrow, November 1 at 11 am Pacific Time. Just go to my UA-cam channel home page at that time.
I have severe anxiety bad as it is... last week my dad died now I'm suffering nausea heart flutrers... and alsorts of symptoms. 😢😢😢
The death of a parent is quite traumatic. I hope you're getting some kind of counseling to deal with this
That snickers gave me tingles
Yes, it was funny. There are more jokes to come.
Thanks Douglas
Congratulations....I am so ☺ happy
Great. What are you happy about?
I love your videos and find them very helpful. Thank you.
Love your jokes at the beginning. I feel like what you were feeling in that depression episode you talked about in this video. No hope for any kind of meaningful life. Let's see what life brings. I am hanging in there. I have no choice but to
I’m glad you’re hanging in there. It’s some point shift for the better.
Happy 200th video!!

You made me laugh, with that very silly joke, Mr. DOUGLAS!
I'm glad that you thought it funny.
I’m not rising. I’m the same way I’ve always been no matter how hard I try.
Keep reaching out for support. What things have you tried?
@@DouglasBloch therapy, Landmark
Green is your color
Yes, green looks very good with the yellow flowers and read background. I also plan to wear black and dark blue turtlenecks.
Thank you Douglas. ..iam bad at minate. ..crying a lot can't seem to get help even phoning.doctor ...my friend going to call...he's mental I'll
So he might be able to give me some advice...
how do you reach this state of mind of the glass half full? If you are in the dumps how do you switch gears? How do you precipitate an upward swing and get hold of yourself?
Part of the answer is seeing a counselor and doing other forms of mental health treatment. Also gratitude helps because it change you to see what is working it instead of what is not working. For example, when I was depressed and suicidal I was grateful that at least I had a roof over my head and food to eat as well as some friends
Loved this! Thank you. Do you know about the Russian firebird in mythology?
No, tell me about it
@@DouglasBloch it's really a convoluted Russian story of resurrection via a golden feather.
❤️❤️❤️
Hey doug would you say depression lifts as quickly as it arrives ?
It depends. In some cases yes. In most cases it lifts gradually. But it does always lift. By the way, I am doing a live UA-cam video chat tomorrow, Wednesday the 25th, at 11am Pacific Coast time. Just go to my channel then if you want to join in
That brain tumour story is giving me anxiety 😅
Sorry about that. The boy is still well and now he is 11
@@DouglasBloch I’ll try the “Cancel, Cancel” trick to stop myself from spiralling 😊
😂😂😂 Jokes! Thank you!
You are welcome.
I need help I can't take it alone anymore im not ok
As I said in my last email, I hope you find some good psychiatrists or counselors in your area. Or perhaps you could go to your local church or other spiritual community and ask help from one of the spiritual advisors.
Good joke! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😅
The God honest truth, tho, is that I wouldn't be if I was childless. I was suicidal in 2014 and srsly would have gone through with it if not for my daughter.
You have mentioned that before. Human connections are life saving.
