I have been clinically depressed for most of my life and watching this has really hit home. This man has said things here that i have struggled to put into words and it almost brought a tear to my eye. Very inspirational and has helped a lot. Thank you.
Adam Ewens Doug has helped me tremendously and I am glad he was able to help you a bit in through this vid. His web site is pretty awesome as well. HEALINGFROMDEPRESSION.COM
It was Doug's story that kept me alive when I was at my worst for many many months. Trust what he says! We all have the capacity to heal with time and proper treatment, hang in there man.
This is so painful, the only thing that's holds me back is my mom and brother. If I kill myself they will be hurt the most. This is terrifying depression, mix with severe anxiety, so disconnected and hopeless.
Kudos for the Video clip! Apologies for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you ever tried - Lammywalness Erase Depression Guide (should be on google have a look)? It is a smashing exclusive guide for beating depression fast minus the normal expense. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my best friend Jordan at very last got great results with it.
Kudos for the video content! Forgive me for chiming in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you tried - Lammywalness Erase Depression Guide (do a google search)? It is a good exclusive guide for beating depression fast without the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my mate after a lifetime of fighting got amazing results with it.
It's Noah here and it really is a great book. I was given that book when I was released from the psych ward and it kept me going. He has looked after me for over a year and continues to be a healing force in my life. Nothing false in him whatsoever. Glad you enjoyed his story and I hope you are well.
I really liked both this video and Noah - I'm currently going through a severe bout of Depression yet AGAIN this year and this is one of the most sound videos I've watched from someone who truly knows what it's like to be there Thank you for uploading this
***** Thanks for sharing your story there too, it always helps to read and hear of other people in a similar boat. I wish you all the best with you managing your Depression
Stay strong Steve. Just a small step each day really does help me. Do try to get out of the comfort zone, even just to go to the local shop. Compliment a stranger, like the lady at the checkout by saying you like her hair, just a small smile here & there sent out & people will respond with kindness & smile. Then you know you have made the world that bit better. I suffer as well, & this does help me knowing I am weak but I can still make others smile/happpier. Take good care.
I am 21 and i have major depression. Just imagine being deeply sad, thinking and thinking, having no interest at all, hurting yourself to ease the inner pain and thinking about suiciding !! All these things for every day for months or years. I know fair enough what a man with depression wants. LOVE, TRUE LOVE !! You have no idea what power love has...
im at a point in depression where its like, life doesnt make sense. you work until your body gives out and then you die? its very hard for me to wrap my head around life. i have prayed everyday since around october of 2007 for my depression. i feel like im going to just stop breathing and nobody will be around. i moved to town to be closer to the hospital in case of an emergancy. im 24 years old and i have kids and a wife who have to suffer through this because i cant go to fairs, trips or even big stores without freaking out, running outside and pouring water all over me. its so embarrising. this anxiety has made me into a shity son, shity husband and a shity person to be around. its a matter of time before my wife leaves me because of this. but nobody is going to read this... nobody cares about some guys posting of youtube talking about his problems. Please God, cure me from my anxiety and depression, in Jesus name I pray Amen.
People do care my man. I am very sorry for your suffering. I strongly encourage you to check out HEALINGFROMDEPRESSION.COM for tons of tips and info. I also suggest you get your Testosterone levels checked to see if you might have a hormone imbalance. Stay brave and keep fighting as I am trying to do. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
I'm not religious, but what you said touched me, I am very sorry for what is happening to you, but as people who have recovered from mental illnesses seem to say, there is hope, there is a way out, through whatever means or form that may be, but it can be done, stay strong and seek a support group, I'm trying to build one in my town right now, as there is no such thing in my whole country, as far as I've noticed from my research, and that scares me, but at the same time gives me even more hope.
hoosier nation I do know what you mean. Your writing of this struck a chord I just feel like all we do is work & pay bills & then die . Bad conflicts happen in families & furthers your depression . Loneliness is so hard . I feel lonely every day because all my friends are married & too busy . I feel lost . I just go through life & now that I’m older I feel like I don’t have allot to look forward to .
This is very inspiring, I've dealt with MDD and anxiety for about 12 years now. I can totally relate to what this guy is saying. It's easy for someone that's not in your shoes to say "just snap out of it".
I used to before my anxiety exchanged for depression. One thing I can say is depression is way more favourable over anxiety, they both ruin your life but at least depression shortens your life, I’m thankful I’m not gonna have to live 60 years of self isolation and paranoia anymore
thank you ,, thank you for saying " u cant snap out of it " .. im so sick & tired of people telling me to just " man up ,, get over it , will ur self out of it " .. it made me feel so much better that it wasnt my fault , thank you
There is nothing false in him. You can see the honesty and the rich tapestry of experience that makes his words flow with authority. Yes there is hope...always there is hope!
This really helped me out and gave me a better outlook on what I'm going through, thank you for sharing his incredible story! I'm definitely going to read his book.
I am presently struggling with a nasty bout of depression and anxiety and this video and others from bignoknow give me hope, especially to see how other people have suffered so terribly and have been able to turn things around. Watching these personal experiences eases my sense of shame and isolation. We can do this we can get better, like he says nothing in the universe is constant apart from change. Keep trudging along everyone!
I love the fact that someone who has had clinical depression just like Noah who are fighting and surviving clinical depression. I have dysthymia which is a persistent depression and have been through 4 episodes of major depressive disorder. I am going through hell &&& I'm trying to survive. I've been having intense suicidal thoughts but I've forced myself to meditation && hopefully it helps me. I'm also trying yoga, exercise, and eating healthy in my routine.
Amy Patel good for you. Don't stop the meditation even for 10 minutes a day. Also, a guided/spoken meditation is amazing. Look up Jason Stephenson. He has hundreds of guided meditation for everything. his voice is so calming and soothing and encouraging words that make you feel good and keep on going forward :) best of luck to you :)
Thank you for sharing this video. I suffer with major depression and anxiety. I have been going through my own personal hell on and off for years and it has gotten worse again. I have thought about suicide and have self harmed and over medicated before, but watching this video touched my heart and brought me to tears. Very touching and inspirational video...
I'm so happy for you getting through, this is one battle words cannot describe for lack of better words I feel tormented its like I want to escape from my own body and mind and that's where most ppl like us lose the will to live I have two young children and I tell you trying to work on my mental health while being a mother is one of the toughest tasks. I have crying bouts and just a very low mood to say the least just feels like I'm living in a nightmare😪 you are very blessed to have had such an incredible support group.
You've come a long way. Congratulations. You moved the mountain. Let me add a tiny gift to your success. I heard people confirm and I listened to the audio of the book called "Battlefield of the mind" and I hope it strengthens you further.
I am 33 and I have been dealing with major depression & anxiety all my life most noticeable around age 10. I have been on a number of anti depressants & anti anxiety meds & seen many counsellors and psychologists but NOTHING has ever worked for me sometimes I have ok days but not very often. I feel like a burden to my family I'm currently living back with my mother & I have no partner & few friends. I feel like things will never get better only worse & no one around me understands so I isolate myself making things worse. I constantly think about suicide now because the future just looks so bleak. The only thing stopping me from ending it all is the pain I would cause my mother & a fear of being stuck in this world as a ghost as punishment for ending my life but I'm feeling worse & worse I have no hope whatsoever & really think one day soon I'm going to have to end my pain.
I woke up one day with extreme anxiety and it stayed that way for 2 years while taking a ssri zoloft. I was working but not very well. I got to the stage where my mind just started shutting down and starting feeling happy when thinking about death. I ended up going back to a different doctor who specialised in this area. He put me on Avanza as well, i have started to see a posative change, taking more interest and less anxiety. I appreciate your story and will look into it further.
Yes, weed has helped me greatly also! Seriously, I do not abuse it, only use it when I need to be set free from the anxiety. This video has helped me...thank you!
What a great story. He is so soothing and, with precision accuracy, described how I felt. My depressive cycle was broken by hormone correction, his was God. Thanks for sharing. The world needs to get back to helping others "Golden Rule". So glad you are doing well.
from a person coming out of their depression i suggest you start to control your anger workout talk with other people hey your okay everyday gets better!
Wow! Doug you are amazing! I want to buy that book. Instinctually it feels so right. I too can testify how i got better in an inexplicable way which affirms my weakness and Gods strength. When we are so associated in our mind with the seen world, it can be hard to connect with the unseen. So it is a process. I loved how you are fully persuaded that it wasnt some chemical or strategy that saved you. That kind of surrender is so liberating. Noah this man is most excellent and trustworthy.
I can't bring myself to have a shower let alone exercise, I can't stand company, I ignore texts and make excuses not to go out or see anyone. I wake up, get my Son ready then once he's gone I drag myself around to do essential housework then sleep all day till my Son comes home, rinse and repeat every day. Conversation is exhausting and stressful, making a phone call or paying a bill is a monumental task. I'm so pleased you recovered.
thank you so much for this video it made me cry knowing that this hell im in today and have been in for the last 2 years will get better and i will overcome it
I've been taking clonazepam for almost 11 years now for anxiety and it really helps. But this depression is killing me. My only motivation to go to work is to pay my rent. I keep everyone distant... I can't get out of my head. I'm the nicest guy because I fake it. I really do care for others... and these videos help, but is there a pill that can make me happy... to give me more incentive to keep pushing?
I've read there's a pill made from "magic mushrooms" that's supposed to help people like us, but naturally it's illegal and in some university study up north. The article is in a recent Psychology Today magazine. (11-10-2018) Also, watch some videos about Psychedelics and Depression. Micro-dosing seems to work for many. I'm an old fart living in my self-made hell and don't know where to get "shrooms" as it's called, or I would try it myself. I've tried just about every anti-depressant on the market but nothing has helped so far. I would try micro-dosing a good sativa but that's illegal where I live too. Sorry I'm 3 years late.
Truly inspiring! I suffer from the the same things he has but more and for different reasons but I believe just listening to his story has mended one of my many wounds just enough to feel it. His closing statements like the everything must come up, if your going through hell don't stop, love and friendship is a very good way to heal are absolutely true. Right there is the best advice I have ever heard in my life about anything and it can do do much more than that stupid stuff everyone says like don't give up it gets better or stay strong and you'll get through, etc. that's just empty words and it doesn't carry any value because it can be related to do many things while his advice is true advice, it is something ONLY people who have gone through this can relate to and that makes it so much more meaningful to people. This guy is truly an inspiration to me. Please if you have read this far please share this video and like this comment so people can be helped by both. Thanks for posting the video as well I think it was a great choice to make this one. Remember, a good laugh makes a good time!
That chronic malaise on top of chronic pain is a real mutha'! It takes real courage to live and is a humongous struggle to overcome. You can't talk yourself or will yourself out of it. Remaining sane through this torment requires God.
That one day at a time tie a knot and hang on is very good advice. Prayer and others praying for you is also very helpful. The amount of support you had was wonderful.
thank you Noah, i have been watching you and Douglas lately. you are right Douglas has good information. you and him have helped me many mornings before work when i felt like i couldn't go, and after watching you two or one of you i seem to get that little boost i need to function. i need to go to the doctor. im just so busy.
Thank you for this video...Just discovered your videos the other day for the first time. I'm happy I did. I will find and read this book. Douglas Bloch's story totally resonated with me. Thank you again.
Thank you for this inspiring and comforting video. I am also 'surviving mental illness' so I can relate to the wrath, the suffering and pain both emotional and physical.
I recently lost my aunt/best friend unexpectedly. Myself & my 13 year old daughter lived with her for years, she was like a second mother to her. After her passing, we realized the home we all shared was very behind in payments. I am a recovering addict with 14 years clean & am disabled with a non healing broken femur. I cannot work & live on state benefits for me & my daughter. We have nowhere to go. I've asked for help, no one has offered help or really even cares. I'm paying utilities here to keep the house going until we have to go (which will be very soon) and it's leaving me with nothing. The depression & helplessness has gotten so intense, I used to oversleep, now I can't sleep, I cry from the time my daughter leaves for school until I know she's coming home. I feel like a complete loser, a horrible mother, I'm terrified of becoming homeless. I don't even have any friends who would be willing to let us stay until housing of some sort becomes available. To make matters worse, my daughter's "father" who has been absent 99.5% of her life is now trying to come back, she's 13 & wants nothing to do with him. I found him years ago & tried to give him the chance to be a father & he'd come around, then disappear, and repeat until he vanished for good. He showed up at the end of January (knowing the pain we were suffering) & filed an emergency custody hearing which thank God the judge found that my daughter was in no danger. This man was accused of molesting our older daughter & my son from a previous marriage yet never tried for it. He denies everything. I refuse to make my daughter "accept" him into her life if she doesn't want it. I'm so depressed, I feel so hopeless & helpless, if I didn't have my daughter, I'd probably end my misery but I could NEVER do that to her. She's the light of my life, the one thing keeping me going. But I don't know how much longer I can go on feeling this way. I was seeing a psych who had me on an antipsychotic which had horrible side effects (I stopped taking it) & refused to put me on one that I knew had previously helped (I've had depression/anxiety since childhood). She had me on a high dose of Xanax, which I've weaned myself down to 0.5mg a day & Ambien at night which I also stopped. I take pain meds for my leg & the doctors are so afraid of getting sued, they want to stop the meds even though I need them to just function without severe pain. I feel like I'm in a hole that i can't get out of.
Thank you for this video. I am disabled with Lupus and a couple other autoimmune disorders. Divorced from an abusive husband. I cried the whole time I watched this. I have always been high energy go go go. Now I lay in bed. I've tried many depression meds but am allergic to so many. Please pray for me. I have planned my suicide where it looks like an accident so my kids won't bear the pain. My youngest has to finish high school and I am the caretaker. God bless!
So sorry to hear you are suffering. I also am 'surviving depression/anxiety' or I like to call it 'surviving mental illness' rather than 'suffering' as the word survive is empowering, hopeful and positive. I have uploaded a letter I wrote to depression telling it how it destroyed my life and how I am creating boundaries for it, I took my anger out in a letter. Maybe you should try it and hang in there - YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
1) picture what you want, and make sure each day you are doing something which brings you closer to that goal 2) be flexible, stop trying the same thing and failing, try something else which you are succeeding at 3) stay positive, get rid of negative language and thoughts (easier said I know) speak positive, do positive your attract it, 4) don't expect any one to understand what your going through as it only makes it worse 5) keep your friends close don't isolate yourself (tell them if you want but i wouldn't recommended it) 6) exercise at least 1 once a week, eat healthy, 7) believe in your self, if you think your fail or your succeed I guarantee you knew it before it happened.
+Maria Espinal continue to look forward, appreciate where you are in life and remind your self how far you came,, Essentially everything you learn in life's toughest times are your most valuable life lessons, so remember what you did to get out of it, apply these methods every day and your never have to go back to it
The only thing I need to know about these types of recovery is, if I do not believe in higher powers, what do I believe in? What's the substitute? Do I put my trust into the chaotic ways of the universe? Trust what so far hasn't showed or is even capable of caring about what I go through? This is so hard to overcome when it is just me myself and I.
There is a way out. Set the intention to heal and reach out support. There are mental health professionals who can guide you into the right kinds of treatment.
This was so amazing. Is it sad I almost cried watching this? This is the only thing that really gave me hope. I wish I was more religious, it would probably help a lot. That and the fact that if the girl I loved felt the same way and I knew this, my depression would be cured for sure.
Douglas,, As you well know,, my Goal is to watch everyone of your video's, As I see they have been all out sequence. I feel so bad that you have gone through all you have,, however,, you were saved do to your Gifted Mind. You have no idea as to how you have aided me,, as I am sure, many others who watch your video's. I see know how you understand every situation. You have been and seen them in your own life, and this is what makes you the High Power for understanding. Now in the present day, I truly think that depression is at it's highest. It is among all walks of life, even children in Elementary School, are suffering from depression. I hear this from friends who are teachers. The only thing I can see,,, myself,, is that it is from seeing the Parents Depression. It is spiraling. Many reasons I myself cannot get into,, and can't allow myself to get into. Just so sad to see the Depression Rate so high in Our Great Country,, something is so wrong with this picture. At any rate,, Douglas,,, ....... God Bless You Always,, and I will remember always,, the phrase the Next 24 Hours. Thank you

Great comment eric.

Yes, weed has helped me greatly also! Seriously, I do not abuse it, only use it when I need to be set free from the anxiety. This video has helped me...thank you!
This is one of the most amazing stories I have ever heard. Thanks so much for sharing! I am getting your book ASAP!
oh i hope that you will forever live in peace. As a survivor I feel proud to see people with such strength
Noah, I'm always so grateful for you!
What a great story. He is so soothing and, with precision accuracy, described how I felt. My depressive cycle was broken by hormone correction, his was God. Thanks for sharing. The world needs to get back to helping others "Golden Rule". So glad you are doing well.
There is power in prayer, love and positive collective energy. Thx for your testimony of hope!!!
Such a Beautiful testimony!!!
This Man story is amazing...I wish I could be apart of this Group you speak of. This Support Group. Is his Book at the local Bookstores??
from a person coming out of their depression i suggest you start to control your anger workout talk with other people hey your okay everyday gets better!
oh God why the guitar loop in the background..make it stop for the love of god.
Wow! Doug you are amazing! I want to buy that book. Instinctually it feels so right. I too can testify how i got better in an inexplicable way which affirms my weakness and Gods strength. When we are so associated in our mind with the seen world, it can be hard to connect with the unseen. So it is a process. I loved how you are fully persuaded that it wasnt some chemical or strategy that saved you. That kind of surrender is so liberating. Noah this man is most excellent and trustworthy.
I can't bring myself to have a shower let alone exercise, I can't stand company, I ignore texts and make excuses not to go out or see anyone. I wake up, get my Son ready then once he's gone I drag myself around to do essential housework then sleep all day till my Son comes home, rinse and repeat every day. Conversation is exhausting and stressful, making a phone call or paying a bill is a monumental task. I'm so pleased you recovered.
thank you so much. you are helping many, many people with these video. padayon!
I am going through very bad depression/anxiety and this video was very helpful. It gave me hope that I will not be like this forever ❤️
thank you so much for this video it made me cry knowing that this hell im in today and have been in for the last 2 years will get better and i will overcome it
Very moving, thank you for taking the time to tell us your story.
This video is fantastic, really has a positive effect. Thank you so much
Im so grateful for this mans story
I've been taking clonazepam for almost 11 years now for anxiety and it really helps. But this depression is killing me. My only motivation to go to work is to pay my rent. I keep everyone distant... I can't get out of my head. I'm the nicest guy because I fake it. I really do care for others... and these videos help, but is there a pill that can make me happy... to give me more incentive to keep pushing?
I've read there's a pill made from "magic mushrooms" that's supposed to help people like us, but naturally it's illegal and in some university study up north. The article is in a recent Psychology Today magazine. (11-10-2018) Also, watch some videos about Psychedelics and Depression. Micro-dosing seems to work for many. I'm an old fart living in my self-made hell and don't know where to get "shrooms" as it's called, or I would try it myself. I've tried just about every anti-depressant on the market but nothing has helped so far. I would try micro-dosing a good sativa but that's illegal where I live too. Sorry I'm 3 years late.
@@davids6533 Yes, it's true.
Thanks for this video. I've been hiding this depression feeling from people and am so tired.
Such a powerful story! Wow! Happy for you Douglas and thanks be to God, family and friends.
Very insightful vid!
Great to know he made it through!
I shared it on my facebook
Truly inspiring! I suffer from the the same things he has but more and for different reasons but I believe just listening to his story has mended one of my many wounds just enough to feel it. His closing statements like the everything must come up, if your going through hell don't stop, love and friendship is a very good way to heal are absolutely true. Right there is the best advice I have ever heard in my life about anything and it can do do much more than that stupid stuff everyone says like don't give up it gets better or stay strong and you'll get through, etc. that's just empty words and it doesn't carry any value because it can be related to do many things while his advice is true advice, it is something ONLY people who have gone through this can relate to and that makes it so much more meaningful to people. This guy is truly an inspiration to me. Please if you have read this far please share this video and like this comment so people can be helped by both. Thanks for posting the video as well I think it was a great choice to make this one. Remember, a good laugh makes a good time!
That chronic malaise on top of chronic pain is a real mutha'! It takes real courage to live and is a humongous struggle to overcome. You can't talk yourself or will yourself out of it. Remaining sane through this torment requires God.
That one day at a time tie a knot and hang on is very good advice. Prayer and others praying for you is also very helpful. The amount of support you had was wonderful.
Amen brother.God is the only source and power that can take depression and anxiety away permanently.
That 24 hour thing is a really interesting idea. I want to remember that one, it seems really useful in other things as well.

This... Was... very inspirational. I really needed this.
I needed this so badly. I am in so much pain and am lost. Thank you.

Very kind, helpful and encouraging video. Love is the highest power.
thank you Noah, i have been watching you and Douglas lately. you are right Douglas has good information. you and him have helped me many mornings before work when i felt like i couldn't go, and after watching you two or one of you i seem to get that little boost i need to function. i need to go to the doctor. im just so busy.
I have seen so many videos about depression and most of them come up with totally stupid tips, but this video really was great.
This is great video. Love hearing the stories in depth, followed by the recovery.
Mark Overstead Thx
Wow, thank you for sharing this story. This is inspiring.
Thank you for this video...Just discovered your videos the other day for the first time. I'm happy I did. I will find and read this book. Douglas Bloch's story totally resonated with me. Thank you again.
Thank you for this inspiring and comforting video. I am also 'surviving mental illness' so I can relate to the wrath, the suffering and pain both emotional and physical.
Inspiring video, really just makes me want to feel BETTER. Thanks for posting.
minute 3. the pain. you describe what i am expiering for 30 years now. it really hurts and noone understands, thats what really caused depression
Very helpful and so genuine and powerful.
Thanks noa and Douglas
I recently lost my aunt/best friend unexpectedly. Myself & my 13 year old daughter lived with her for years, she was like a second mother to her. After her passing, we realized the home we all shared was very behind in payments. I am a recovering addict with 14 years clean & am disabled with a non healing broken femur. I cannot work & live on state benefits for me & my daughter. We have nowhere to go. I've asked for help, no one has offered help or really even cares. I'm paying utilities here to keep the house going until we have to go (which will be very soon) and it's leaving me with nothing. The depression & helplessness has gotten so intense, I used to oversleep, now I can't sleep, I cry from the time my daughter leaves for school until I know she's coming home. I feel like a complete loser, a horrible mother, I'm terrified of becoming homeless. I don't even have any friends who would be willing to let us stay until housing of some sort becomes available. To make matters worse, my daughter's "father" who has been absent 99.5% of her life is now trying to come back, she's 13 & wants nothing to do with him. I found him years ago & tried to give him the chance to be a father & he'd come around, then disappear, and repeat until he vanished for good. He showed up at the end of January (knowing the pain we were suffering) & filed an emergency custody hearing which thank God the judge found that my daughter was in no danger. This man was accused of molesting our older daughter & my son from a previous marriage yet never tried for it. He denies everything. I refuse to make my daughter "accept" him into her life if she doesn't want it. I'm so depressed, I feel so hopeless & helpless, if I didn't have my daughter, I'd probably end my misery but I could NEVER do that to her. She's the light of my life, the one thing keeping me going. But I don't know how much longer I can go on feeling this way. I was seeing a psych who had me on an antipsychotic which had horrible side effects (I stopped taking it) & refused to put me on one that I knew had previously helped (I've had depression/anxiety since childhood). She had me on a high dose of Xanax, which I've weaned myself down to 0.5mg a day & Ambien at night which I also stopped. I take pain meds for my leg & the doctors are so afraid of getting sued, they want to stop the meds even though I need them to just function without severe pain. I feel like I'm in a hole that i can't get out of.
happy that u had support and dealt with your depression.
This guy is a God send wow. There is hope....
Thank you for this video. I am disabled with Lupus and a couple other autoimmune disorders. Divorced from an abusive husband. I cried the whole time I watched this. I have always been high energy go go go. Now I lay in bed. I've tried many depression meds but am allergic to so many. Please pray for me. I have planned my suicide where it looks like an accident so my kids won't bear the pain. My youngest has to finish high school and I am the caretaker. God bless!
Thank you for sharing you experiences and thoughts.
So sorry to hear you are suffering. I also am 'surviving depression/anxiety' or I like to call it 'surviving mental illness' rather than 'suffering' as the word survive is empowering, hopeful and positive. I have uploaded a letter I wrote to depression telling it how it destroyed my life and how I am creating boundaries for it, I took my anger out in a letter. Maybe you should try it and hang in there - YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
Thank you guys for sharing your inspiring words.
You're so fortunate to have people that care about you. I'm screwed.
That is just fabulous!! Thank you so much!
Thank You! I went trough that journey and I made it through by never giving up.
A wonderful and inspirational truth.
Great video, thank you for uploading.
1) picture what you want, and make sure each day you are doing something which brings you closer to that goal
2) be flexible, stop trying the same thing and failing, try something else which you are succeeding at
3) stay positive, get rid of negative language and thoughts (easier said I know) speak positive, do positive your attract it,
4) don't expect any one to understand what your going through as it only makes it worse
5) keep your friends close don't isolate yourself (tell them if you want but i wouldn't recommended it)
6) exercise at least 1 once a week, eat healthy,
7) believe in your self, if you think your fail or your succeed I guarantee you knew it before it happened.
+123456789ten 8) focus your attention on making other people happy as well, massively underrated tip
+Maria Espinal continue to look forward, appreciate where you are in life and remind your self how far you came,, Essentially everything you learn in life's toughest times are your most valuable life lessons, so remember what you did to get out of it, apply these methods every day and your never have to go back to it
this is beautiful, thank you so much
Hey, you reading this ... you're not alone ..I'm here with you
The only thing I need to know about these types of recovery is, if I do not believe in higher powers, what do I believe in? What's the substitute? Do I put my trust into the chaotic ways of the universe? Trust what so far hasn't showed or is even capable of caring about what I go through? This is so hard to overcome when it is just me myself and I.
There is a way out. Set the intention to heal and reach out support. There are mental health professionals who can guide you into the right kinds of treatment.
I agree. Don't give up five minutes before the miracle.
Thankyou for this video. God bless everyone
Thank you for helping me with why I can sleep an indefinite number of hours, and still feel like crap.
Ij ust cried right in front of my teacher. She was so nice,she helped me, temp.
Just watching this made me feel a lil better!!! At lest I know that I am not alone and not going crazy!!!
TESTIMONY BEGINS AT 1:02
Thank you, Amazing Video
great and inspiring story.
Thankyou, you give me hope.
This was so amazing. Is it sad I almost cried watching this? This is the only thing that really gave me hope. I wish I was more religious, it would probably help a lot. That and the fact that if the girl I loved felt the same way and I knew this, my depression would be cured for sure.
Just bought his book, "Healing from Depression.". Yes I totally get it - painful thoughts/feelings unrelenting. I have TRD.
Douglas,, As you well know,, my Goal is to watch everyone of your video's, As I see they have been all out sequence. I feel so bad that you have gone through all you have,, however,, you were saved do to your Gifted Mind. You have no idea as to how you have aided me,, as I am sure, many others who watch your video's. I see know how you understand every situation. You have been and seen them in your own life, and this is what makes you the High Power for understanding. Now in the present day, I truly think that depression is at it's highest. It is among all walks of life, even children in Elementary School, are suffering from depression. I hear this from friends who are teachers. The only thing I can see,,, myself,, is that it is from seeing the Parents Depression. It is spiraling. Many reasons I myself cannot get into,, and can't allow myself to get into. Just so sad to see the Depression Rate so high in Our Great Country,, something is so wrong with this picture. At any rate,, Douglas,,, ....... God Bless You Always,, and I will remember always,, the phrase the Next 24 Hours. Thank you
