Your Key to Recovering From Depression and Anxiety

- In this video, author and mental health educator Douglas Bloch shows why the key to recovering from depression and anxiety is "setting the intention to heal." This means making the decision to get well--even if you don't know how your healing will occur. To support this healing, I show the viewer how to create an "intention statement," which is a mental picture that describes how you would look and feel like if you were free of the symptoms of depression and anxiety.

I have struggled with mental illness and my mental health since I was a kid. Before I even knew what those terms were. After years of depression, anxiety, and even an attempt to take my life, I never thought I would be able to live without psych medications. I clung to them because it was the only thing that made my mind quiet, but it also made me a zombie. Microdosing has given me control of my mental health for the first time, and they essentially gave me my life back.
I’ve been researching on psychedelics and it’s benefits to individuals dealing with Anxiety, Depression, ADHD and from my findings, they really work and I’ve been eager to get some for a while but its been difficult to get my hands on them.
I was having this constant, unbearable anxiety due to work stress. Not until I came across a very intelligent mycologist. He saved my life honestly
His name is *DR Adolf Petter*
The Trips I've been having really helped me a lot. I’m now able to meditate and I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have alot more empathy as well
@ohmakure4716
I feel the same way too. I put too much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety levels. I am also glad to be a part of this community
You are a bright star in the darkness of nights.
Thank you so much
I feel like no one understands and talks to us about this problem like you do Douglas.
I’m glad my videos have been helpful
Yes, I feel that way too!
To heal from anxiety and depression intrusive thoughts etc is first pray alot fast and pray, start healing child hood trauma by knowing your identity in Christ... Start with forgiving people that hurt you practice self love by accepting yourself and knowing that you are enough and God didn't make a mistake making you... That's what will get u out of your depression and anxiety and stop trying to force and control things in your life and just let go and let God...
For the first time in my life I am accepting that I am depressed, and I'm not hiding it or pretending anymore. I am alone, medication is not working, I have to find other ways. I'm glad I found this video. I've been hiding from social life and acquaintances, I find no pleasure in every day things like I used to but I'm setting the intention to get well, I have two children to live for.
There may be an important message that depression wants you to know. For me, depression is like another side of spiritual awakening. I tried to learn from it and accept where I was, then I tried one small step forward each time, and I am out. May you have a better recovery from this tough journey. God bless!
If you're able to, try TMS therapy
What is TMS? Thank you
@@isabellawang6847I'm so glad to know someone made it out of here, I've been stuck for 2 yrs and would live to know of you have any other tips
Looking pretty dapper. TY. I so enjoy listening to this many times.
Thanks for listening
Awareness that I can plan how I'd like my recovery to go is a perfect step forward. I have been down dark roads, and would love to comfort those struggling with the same things I've known. Being a friend is one of the most crucially underrated, and overlooked purposes on this planet. Being a friend changes, and saves lives. You can count on that.
Yes, I agree
Writing an intention statement is a great idea! I would add to read it out loud daily. The spoken word is very powerful, as the Bible says, life and death are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21).
Thanks for sharing.I love that quotation from Proverbs.
I appreciate you so so much Douglas, thank you for all your time, god bless you ❤️🙏🏼! Lots of love from the Netherlands 🌷
You're more than welcome. The Netherlands is a lovely country.
These videos have saved me so many times. Thank you so much 🤗
Love this. Your intention was beautiful and a lovely example.
Thank you so much!
Just wanted to say thank you for your videos Douglas.
You are more than welcome
Thank you very much. Your videos have given me some hope. Recently I was diagnosed with severe vitamin D deficiency which worsened the issue of depression and anxiety. There were several days I was ruminating a lot and had a hard time doing anything. I felt I was slowly dying. Don’t feel as bad as I felt a few weeks ago.
Thank you for the wise explanation. I am ready to heal! I believe I am healing towards my best version :)
Your very best video yet.
They all all good... but this one was the most terrific and convincing.
I’m glad it was helpful
Thankyou for appearing in my explore, not a coincidence 🙏
I am going to script all these manifestation and intentions!I wrote them thank you.I hope You are doing better Douglas
Very positive
Thank you. I'll give it a try.
Thank you for giving hope. I am going to add this my recovery.
You are so welcome

Thank you very much
I ordered your book and it arrived yesterday! I have watched most of your videos and you are doing people a world of good! Bless you !
Thank you. Which book did you order?
@@DouglasBloch "When you're Going Through Hell..Don't Stop". Excellent. I am about 1/4 of the way in. I experienced a depression in 1996 due to health issues.
Luckily, Zoloft helped me and I had surgery for my health issues and my health improved. Then I became depressed agin in 2014 after losing my husband to a sudden rare illness.
@@DouglasBloch "When You're Going Through Hell Keep Going". I love it!
After so many years, I knew there has been off about my whole being. I just turned 19 yesterday, and the past few days I have been skipping school due to presentations and exam I have been dreading and the thought of failure made my anxiety even worse that's why i skipped instead. Today is Monday and thankfully there's no class for today so I wouldn't have to go the campus and meet my classmates. Simple as going to the campus triggers my anxiety or even staying focused on discussions to attain new information triggers my short attention span. My mind would be wandering around different things instead of listening to what my professors would say. The only time where I'm not worrying so much of my life is during summer break.
I realized that I have a high functioning depression. I thought I was gonna grow out of the weird feeling but then it's already so many years and I still feel the same shitty feeling I've always felt since quarantine (where I spent too much time just inside.)
Today, I want to be finally transparent with my mental health and how I realized how not okay I am. I want to take a break from school and be intentional with my own healing. Everything starts with the mind. I can no longer keep up with the busy schedule around school and I wish I had the energy to endure it but I'm so fed up already. I want to focus on other things as of now and that is to work on my overall well-being. School was making me even more stressed and depressed with life and I can't wait to get out of this burden for a little while.
You are so pleasant to liste to! 🥰
Oh thank you!
Thank you very much 🙏
Thank you ❤

I just stumbled on this video. Thank you, you've already encouraged me and now I know where to start.

Why some says you never can be healed from anxiety disorder?
I’m 37 I’m mother of two babies this start with me I start to fell very sad than and I start to fell pain in my neck the my head I feel like if someone pulling my hair it’s been one year did MRI. Scan they find that I have pineal cyst but they said it has nothing to do with that my issue is headaches and I can’t take loud noise and tenitus I don’t know what to do I’m lost
There is a way out, This channel and the Anxiety guy are the most helpful. You only need to take the first step
❤❤
They told me it was bpd I was honestly so happy my doctor didn’t consider me to have depression but now I can’t get up from bed I feel so heavy and I can’t enjoy anything I struggled with this for 8 years I can’t believe I am back at this
Do you become manic some times? Or just depression?
@@cadaankudhiigleh I think I’ve had hypomania before but I’m not sure
@@MarianaFerreira27gatoslindos
How if you didn't had mania they say bipolar disoder
Why is depression paired with anxiety? They’re opposites. When I’m depressed, I shut down and lose interest in everything. Anxiety makes people tense, nervous, and hyper. One is a downer and the other is an upper.
believe me, they can coexist to cause a different type of hell lol
I’m just some guy on the internet, but I think they’re both symptoms of the same core dysfunction. You feel anxious about a situation or circumstance and it makes you feel awful. You may avoid the situation or circumstance and then it goes badly. When things go badly, it can be demotivating and you can feel helpless and powerless. That cycle leads to more disengagement from life and it’s tasks until basic stuff like cleaning your house or doing your job become these heavy weights. It’s only if you can find a way and the strength to reengage with life that your mind will start to slowly rebuild that confidence. You can get up on time. You do start keeping your house clean. Whatever baby steps. As you do better, you feel better. You can go to that party or give that presentation and your mind is healthy and strong enough that even if stuff doesn’t go perfectly, you can just laugh and move forward. Definitely not easy.
Anxiety and depression are like twins that do not look alike. Trust me, some of us are dealing with both at the same time.
Very well said
You are correct about being opposites. Yet, somehow they manifest at the same time. And the same coping strategies such as exercise work for both.
Anothr 🗝 to recovery is be with all.the birds at the park😊
Struggling so bad 😢

I feel your struggles and your pain dear friend. Been there myself. You are being prayed for, okay? May God be with you and show you His kindness and grace. May the love of His Son Jesus surround you and embrace you warmly, just like He did for me. Please take care.
Trust in God. Our hearts are restless until they trust in you Lord.
I have suffered from Anxiety for 2 years. My healing started when i gave my life to Jesus Christ. Just as written in Matthew 11:28 - Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Now I am free because of Jesus.

not practical advices, birocratic mentality, lots of words, lots of talking, the essence is not practical.i will pay more attention to what you are saying, i will watch again,but no matter how closely i try to listen, i dont find meaningful ideas.i need and everybody needs a sane human being to rely on, to heal my stress, depression, anxiety! someone like me, who is willing to pay attention, to listen, to help with emotional support. i scroll the internet and only stupids all around! very hard to find a neat face, a fluent, meaningful idea! i will watch again, maybe i missed something...
I did an intention statement when I first heard about it from you, Douglas. feel like my art and other creative practices are both intention statements and manifestations at the same time. Somehow !
That sounds great.
