In this video, author and mental health educator Douglas Bloch shares his experience of how to survive a period of "emotional hell," such as going through a depressive episode. The three keys he outlines are: 1) Realize that the experience is temporary and will one day end; 2) Reach out to others for support, and 3) Live one day at a time, avoiding the tendency to look into the future and imagine the worst. If you can do these things and hang in there, you can make it through the ordeal. Don't give up five minutes before the miracle.

My mother's was loaded with sayings. Her favorite was "this too will pass" I'm going through a divorce. Our separation has been going for 3 years. My children are kept from me. My dark days are a day by day survival. The mornings are a new start for me... However, for my sanity sake I'm willing to walk if she just sign the divorce papers. It's her control over me that she doesn't want to give up... I'm waiting to become a diamond...💎 Becoming a diamond hopefully my children will see I'm a good father/man...🙏

I graduated college 4 years ago and I have had a difficult time applying for jobs because of my lack of experience or related experience. I switched from Communication Studies which was my major to the medical field and got a job for two years in phlebotomy. I quit last year and am in school for MRI technology. But lately since COVID-19 happened I’ve been worried I made the wrong choice in leaving a secure position with health insurance. I wish I could also try the communication field but I don’t have enough skills or confidence during interviews. I really wish I had a very specific guide to get through this difficult time and job hunting. Looking for jobs was hard enough before COVID but now I anticipate will be even worse with how many job seekers there are. I’m terrified and feel like I’m having an existential crisis often

Douglas I have tried 5-MeO-DMT for my depression and anxiety and it has helped me IMMENSELY. I tried it 7 years ago and I have never gotten hospitalized since then:). I recommend you try it but u MUST come off ALL medication for at least 6 months before trying it. If you don’t it can actually trigger a psychotic episode and that can obviously worsen your mental health. Good luck:)

I have had depression for over 13 years and I've always had intense nerves, and I'll be 28 this year -- I find the worst thing you can do, is sit around all day, and its such a catch because I'm unemployed because of my feelings. The work of Gurdjieff has helped me a lot in the last few years since I've discovered him, he spoke about mankind as being asleep, we sift through our imagination all the time, we identify with both negative and positive things, we express negative emotions at the drop of a hat, we become personalities and lose our essence.

I’ve been struggling with anxiety due to a lot of trauma in my childhood. I learned recently that childhood trauma causes people to process things differently. This was enlightening to me but also made me feel hopeless because I can’t undo those experiences and change my brain. I feel forever doomed to live in a state of fear (either mild or severe), and now I’m depressed on top of it.

The brain has something called Neoplasticity, which means it can change. There are therapies that can help to facilitate this. One of them is called EMDR. There are therapists who specializes in treating trauma and books that show how. You might want to take a look at the books The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel Van der Kolk and Waking the Tiger by Peter Levine

I feel like it's a lie that it is only temporary...I find a way to get myself more positive but along comes a bunch of pointless dumb BS that normally wouldn't be bad by themselves but i can't even catch my breath before circumstances that are beyond my control knock me down again.. like there is some entity trying to torment me. But it's my fault...I can't even talk about it because people get annoyed

vi-tal adj. 1. Necessary to existence or continuance; essential. Dear Mr. Bloch, A "wow" experience occurred as I opened my Funk & Wagnalls Standard Desk Dictionary N-Z in search of its definition for "vital". The book's binding bent to expose, without any page flipping required, page 763 which contained "vital" amongst its main entries. Gobsmacked, I exclaimed, "Wow!" While thinking out loud is nothing new to me, my reaction to the event prompted a chuckle, or "humor". Right away I wanted to write to you, "setting goals". Feeling "vital", essential, is exactly what I sense is missing during my most symptomatic episodes. Thank you ("gratitude") for the direct and simple phrasing you've given to The Goal, and for providing a list of possible actions I can take to improve my state of mind. I put together a small shelving unit as I listened to you, providing myself with sense of "fulfilling work".
