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.

You are a bright star in the darkness of nights.

I feel like no one understands and talks to us about this problem like you do Douglas.

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.

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...

Looking pretty dapper. TY. I so enjoy listening to this many times.

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.

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).

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.

Love this. Your intention was beautiful and a lovely example.

I appreciate you so so much Douglas, thank you for all your time, god bless you ❤️🙏🏼! Lots of love from the Netherlands 🌷

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.

Thanks so much man

Douglas!!

Thank you

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

I drew a happy face on a TP roll and every morning I see it and experience an uplifting feeling...how simple and silly....

Hello sir, what we need to do after writing intention statement once .

Thank you, Doug. I’ve been a subscriber for awhile and I enjoy your videos. They are very helpful. Thank you

👏👏

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

Does this include mdd or the most severe depression

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.

Why some says you never can be healed from anxiety disorder?

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.

King Charles!?

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 !
