I suffer with severe depression and anxiety and have done since I was a child. I am now 21. You’ve saved me. I’ve watched your videos for years and years. Every time I feel unable to cope, I watch one of your videos and it calms me right down. You are incredible. You’re so soothing healing to listen to. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you Douglas for not editing that part out at the end when you got emotional. It shows how invested you are in your work. As far as I know, there's no one else on KZfaq doing what you do. Man, I can really relate. There's no pain like psychological pain. You are extremely strong for going through depression and making it through multiple times like you have. Your videos have given me hope that I can make it too.

All I have valued and cared for were taken away from me by others. 19 years of relationship, work I loved for the first time in my life, friends, love of my life, self respect, belief in my abilities.... I fought hard, but last 2-3 years is a never ending rolling down. Only my kids keeps me here. Nothing else. Everything I look at is meaningless, half translucent. It's hard to open my mouth to speak, to raise eyes to look at something. I don't look forward anything.

Your humility when showing your own shows me that I can do the same. I shall remember this when working with my clients. Thank you Douglas.

We have lots of animals; 2 goats, 3 sheep, 2 horses, 2 cats and one dog. When I went away for one week, one of the cats was really upset and screamed so that my partner was really concerned about the cat's health. The day I came back, the cat was healed. He just missed me so much. I love my animals so much.

I’m still trying to find my reason to stay alive. I’m in my late 20s, single. So much of my life has been a struggle, I feel it’s all been one huge depressive episode. I can find things that make me happy, but nothing gives me joy. When things get worse I’m so afraid I’m not going to be able to go on. The past couple months have been extremely tough with everything going on in the world. Thanks Doug for the videos.

You're such a kind beacon, Douglas. Thank you for your presence on KZfaq. From my teen years until my early thirties I struggled with my identity and felt unworthly of life. Although I never tried to take my life, the thought honestly plagued me. Long story short, AlAnon and Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACOA) helped me find self-worth as well as place my personal issues in manageable order. I am nearly sixty now! I hope everybody here comes to know how valuable they are.

You help me to keep my recovery first and foremost in my mind everyday and be aware of my thoughts and what my brain is doing, and help me to fight back. I'm still only living a half life; my kids don't have the mom that they deserve yet, and my husband is a saint for having to deal with a wife that can only make it out of bed 3 to 5 hours a day. But I haven't given; I keep listening to your videos, I keep getting out of bed, and I keep praying.

If you have survived a suicidal episode perhaps you might be interested in looking at my manuscript of my new book on suicide prevention. I write about tools and coping strategies and I'm looking for people who have been suicidal to give me feedback on whether or not the information is helpful. If you would like me to email you a few chapters please email me, douglasbloch@gmail.com

Oh sweet a list of 5 things I don't have nice. Staying alive a breath at a time is about right. Whenever I here someone say things will get better always makes me so angry. I've been told this for 30 years. Yeah for some things get better. Some of us are just broken into small pieces that there's no putting ourselves together again.

When I was suicidal, I could not think of any reasons to stay alive. However, there were some reasons that I did not want to die, such as the fear of death or not wanting to who people who would be left behind. Here is a link from my new website that lists reasons not to die instead of reasons to stay alive. Let me know if you can identify with any of them. I hope you can. www.overcomingsuicidalpain.com/home/reasons-to-stay-alive/reasons-not-to-make-an-attempt-2/
