Dead Douglas, I have been listening to you. And your way of talking and golden advices remind me of my grandpa I miss the old guy it's been 15years that his beautiful soul left this beautiful world. I never felt about anyone this way. I love your helping nature. Thank you very much more love and power. May you live long to spread all your care and wisdom♥️ God bless
We can suffer through discipline or through regret. We have to be aware of how we cater or placate to our symptoms. We feel temporary comfort from oversleeping, eating, self medicating, isolation, dark rooms but they compound symptoms in the long run. Push through and feel that discomfort, I know the struggle but their is relief maybe not fully but it gives us something to look forward too also. That is why perspective is also helpful along with consistent gratitude, self forgiveness and acceptance. God bless guys and their is light at the end of the tunnel; don't let your mind convince you otherwise.
I know what I need to get out of this depression and that is serious exercise with people I know. I have known this for ages but cannot do this because I am depressed. I just go round and round in circles. I haven't a clue how to break this cycle. Therefore I just continue with my pathetic existance. Things don't look like changing.
You can take a class in the gym or invite somebody over to exercise with you. This is what people do when they don't have the motivation to exercise by themselves. I have people that I cycle with who make sure I get out of the house
@@DouglasBloch I have tried gym classes, I don't enjoy them and they don't work. I have been out on group cycle rides in the past, they only just give me limited pleasure. I have tried playing Badminton and have felt too depressed to enjoy it. Something's going on and I can't work it out. The bottom line is, if I wasn't depressed I would enjoy things and certain activies would give pleasure instead of little enjoyment that there are not worth doing. I'm sick of being miserable.
I have to say that this is my favorite channel on anxiety and depression. I am really feeling the pain right now because I am doing exposure therapy without safety objects. I have significant stomach sensitivity issues after a prolonged bout of intense anxiety that lasted for about 4 months. As a result, I have fears that anxiety will lead to life altering health problems (i.e., ulcers, gastritis, etc.). That makes it very hard for me to endure anxiety when it strikes. But I have no choice; it's either that or live like a hermit.
I’m crying. Thank you so much for the amazing work you’re doing for us, Douglas. You’re saving lives and helping us tremendously. Please keep up this channel, it’s saving me through dark times. ❤️
Thanks again, Douglas. I catch up later from NZ but better late than never! One important thing I learnt this week was on youtube with Dr Joe Dispenza: "If you can't think greater than how you feel, your life will stay the same." And when you do, "You start to see those syncronicities, those coincidences, those opportunities start showing up in your life and you're not going anywhere to get them, they're actually coming to you." It's true! Having a good start to my day here, thank you!
Firstly, I know that pain as I have arthritis in one knee - and in another post surgery - and in a broken foot. The basis to Joe's work seems to be in harnessing the power of thought, and once I started practising acknowledgement and acceptance of the pain instead of negative focussing and labelling, the pain started to diminish. Practising is key. Capturing the thought about pain, acknowledging it and letting it pass. Meditation is great for arthritis. I listen daily to Jon Kabat-Zin's "Body scan meditation" on his CD Series 1 Guided Mindfulness Meditations. Sometimes I fall asleep but that's "catch-up" and a bonus, as lack of sleep during the night exacerbates arthritis. As does coffee, which I've replaced with a delightful cinnamon-vanilla herbal tea. Very calming.
Needed this video sir Douglas. Thank you so much! Always have the mindset like this. Just need a push from someone like you and others who understands what I go thru with Ocd. Btw. Sept 7,just turned 40. 13yo diagnosed with ocd. Still here. Fighting and thankful that I still get to hustle in life.
@@DouglasBloch yes I was diagnosed with my first "strike" 20 years ago. Now 46 and it goes up and down and back and forth. I have worked for more than 15 years in mental health now and my own experiences and conditions have helped many as I understand the dark from my own experiences and situations. There is no sweet without the sour. You do a great thing Douglas. Thank you.
The saying “no pain no gain” used to make me uncomfortable because I felt like it was telling me I would never find happiness. But “better the pain than to remain the same” is very comforting and uplifting. I like it a lot :) thank you
Sept.7th :) Don't you just love those *divine* syncs💓 I like to call my experience *Post Tramatic Growth* Another great one🖒 (liked of course) ~~ Have a jazzy day!~~~>💓°•○☆💕

Thank you Douglas, I'm listening to you as a beautiful rainbow stretches across the sky above my head.
That sounds very auspicious.
I'm just now finding your channel. You are a god send!!! ❤️ Thanks
God Bless You!! A very inspirational video!!

Thanks, as always, for your insight.
@@DouglasBloch Likewise!
I was your waitress once upon a time so your joke at the beginning gave me an extra laugh!
Thanks. I'm curious. When and where were you my waitress?
APPRECIATED.
YOU LOOK FULLY RECOVERED FROM DEPRESSION PLEASE.

Thank you so much again Douglas, sending warm wishes to you and Joan. The roses are beautiful 🌹
Many thanks
Thank you Douglas. This was a great video and Joan’s roses are beautiful 🌹
Yes they are
going through such a tough struggle currently. thank's for your post.
Glad I could help
We don't need to suffer in silence anymore. Connectivness is key for us because isolation makes it worse.

Thanks. I like Joe's work. How would you apply it to arthritis that I have been diagnosed with?
Firstly, I know that pain as I have arthritis in one knee - and in another post surgery - and in a broken foot. The basis to Joe's work seems to be in harnessing the power of thought, and once I started practising acknowledgement and acceptance of the pain instead of negative focussing and labelling, the pain started to diminish.

Pain free you... Is a channel be on here worth checking out, sounds similar 🕊️🙏✨

Keep persevering. As Will Rogers once said, "Life begins at 40."
Thank you Douglas 🙏
You're welcome.
Great video as usual. Cheers from Sweden.
I'm glad the video is helpful

Lovely surroundings🌹
3:28 I’ve always thought that but now I’m more convinced therapists haven’t overcome it themselves,
The saying “no pain no gain” used to make me uncomfortable because I felt like it was telling me I would never find happiness. But “better the pain than to remain the same” is very comforting and uplifting. I like it a lot :) thank you
You are welcome. I agree with you about the title change
This is a beautiful video. Very insightful.
I'm glad it was helpful. I also like turtles and used to own one called Vishnu.
Thank you for the video
You're welcome
