I’m around her age and have been suffering from depression for 6 years. She inspires me and helps me realize that I’m not the only one going through this. So a big thank you to you both. 🙏🏻
Fantastic video.really helped me understand my own depression I’m 51 and only just admitted I struggle with depression in last 3 months to my parents but been on medication 2 year because my wife and a medical professional made me aware I’m my own worst critic.Heather’s an old soul in a 20 year old body.good luck heather.
Douglas, What a super and intelligent and brave young lady. Between watching and closely listening to Both Heather, and Michael, it is therapy in itself. Two amazing people,,, also so easy to relate with. It actually has made me feel good to see this progress. This idea of having these individuals share their story is the greatest to so many people. It does show that there is HOPE,,,, So again, as always, Thank You for this Great Video.
I started seeing your videos very recently and I want to tell you how great and wonderful there are for me. Mornings are the worst for me, so I started hearing one every morning, with my headphones, heading to work... they help so much! Just to thank you and to let you know... PS sorry if I make grammar mistakes, I don't live in US and English is not my first language. Thank you, anyway.
Thank you Heather for sharing your story. I hope you are still doing well. And thank you Doug for this channel. I am going through a rough spot myself right now and am trying hard to fight out of it.
@@DouglasBloch i was in a partial hospitalization program for 2.5 months about 5 months ago. I go to therapy and 2 group therapies. I just tapered off medicine. Like you i don't think it helped me. Diet and exercise has helped much more. Also quit alcohol, caffeine, sugar and am low carb for months. Im hoping im just in the withdrawal period and it will be over soon. But it's hard because i have been out of work because of my breakdown.
@@DouglasBloch thank you for reaching out and for what you do. I really appreciate it. I wish I lived in the Oregon area to join your group. Ive been doing hiit exercise to try to fight it. I think it's helping a bit.
I honestly think (from my own experience), depression comes from repressed feeling such as dissapointnent that leads to anger, childhood trauma etc. Because it bottled up on the inside, when we don't talk about it, it enter our subconscious mind. The key is to let the feeling out to psychiatrist that will not dissmiss our feelings, but validate our feelings. So we will feel seen and heard, and that our feelings matter.
Hey DOug i have a question.I m in college but i m thinking of stopping until i feel better Whats your opinion will going to college help not to isolate?
The advantage of going to colleges is that you are in a community and are engaged. If the depression is making it too hard to concentrate, you could cut back on your classes. Of course you should discuss all of this with your college counselor and your therapist. But not isolating and staying connected is very important, no matter what you do.
Heather is wise beyond her years and very strong to have been through such hard times.
I’m around her age and have been suffering from depression for 6 years. She inspires me and helps me realize that I’m not the only one going through this. So a big thank you to you both. 🙏🏻

Depression has given me a much greater compassion for others who suffer. Thanks for your wonderful videos ⚘

You’re practicing good self-care. Keep it up. Hopefully the work issue will resolve itself
@@DouglasBloch thank you. I hope so. I often want to give up as i don't like myself very much right now and am not sure how to fix this.
Please keep hanging in there. Things can and will change

Same to you Kelly. Have you been on our life chat before?

That sounds exactly right. We can also talk to a psychologist or social worker or counselor and get the same validation.

Amen! God has a purpose for you! 🙏🏼
