It's a lie in my case. No other side. I've tried over 10 therapists. DBT: CBT: Rapid eye movement therapy. They won't give me ketamine or Psychedelics: all kinds of meds: hospitalizations. I just am broken for 51 years. I don't have a church or support groups.

Praying for your health, Doug ❤. I wish you healing, recovery and strength.

Great video! After watching the video twice and reading the comments, I feel very naive. I thought it might take 4 or 5 months, but I see I'll need to extend my timeframe, especially since I've been on them over two decades. I take Venlafaxine ER and last year we added Welbutrin. Very naive indeed.

Hold it down Mr. Boch. You got this.

Marijuana saved my life. I know someone who said the same about zoloft. To each their own, especially when it comes to medical choices.

Reasons to stay alive told to me by a walking corpse how ironic

Mr. Bloch, hang in there and you are in my thoughts…

this made me calmer thank you

What if he says he just needs to snap out of it?!?!?! Or get his shit together and he doesnt know what is what...what does that even mean?!

I found having ice pack near my bed cause i use to get anxiety at night ii instantly put it on my neck chest and back neck and the anxiety goes away immediatly away it shocks your system, and i can continue sleeping.

❤lovely THANK YOU!!!!🦋

I guess I need to start living. Even if I am not interested in anything anymore. I need to keep going even depression and loneliness follows me every where I go.

As I watch this at 2:55am…

I'm in the pit...again

Very good, thank you

What about those that leave behind young children who will be utterly traumatised and more likely to commit suicide themselves in the future?

Well 5 out of 6. Maybe I’ll have to talk to someone.

Just lovely to see you, Douglas, you’re a blessing to the world ❤

You are so kind

Are you still doing ECT

Hi Doug, hang in there, I just came out of a 18 month long depression, it was my 2nd episode and I thought it would never end, I had all of the same symptoms you described in your book, if it wasn’t for you and all of your wonderful, informative and life saving videos I’m not quite sure where I would be today, hang in there Doug, one day, one hour, one minute at a time, there is light at the end of the tunnel, we’ve been sick before and recovered again and again, things will slowly get better and you will gradually be restored. God bless.

It is very much appreciated please.

Douglas, you are loved ❣️

I hope you are feeling better. You've done so much to help others. A true Earth angel.

Must be nice to have the money to support all this. I have none. Wish I could just move into the cuckoo's nest.

Thanks for your Amazing Inspiring Lessons ❤🎉😊

sending my love and appreciation Douglas!

Dear Douglas, I have been trying to get off Haloperidol 4mg since October 2023. I have nearly reduced by 1 tablet out of 4. I am also on Promethazine I have had the most horrendous side effects. I have had chronic insomnia approx 3 hours a night for a year. Would you have any advice for me?

Yes society is miserable

Your book “When Going Through Hell Don’t Stop” has been my Bible during my darkest times. Praying for you and sending love and healing light 💕☀️❤️🙏🏻

I am praying for your fast healing and recovery. During my depression season you really are a big help to me. You introduce me to healing, and because of your help, I am still alive today.I am so blessed with your audio books, it really convinced me to stay alive. Oh sir Douglas I still wanna see you on KZfaq. I wanna know you more. Give us more years. Don't leave us yet. Don't leave me.😢

Dear Douglas, Something has gone wrong in this world that has led so many of us into the darkness. Those who are not struggling truly do not know what this hell is like. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I am currently going through a taper off of a benzodiazepine that not only did a psychiatrist get me addicted to, but he spent the last year that I stayed in his “care” attempting to get me to take a higher dose, which would have made things even worse. I am seeing a different psychiatrist now who is encouraging me along the way to free myself from this horrible drug. The drug that was supposed to be helping me was actually making my depression worse. Sometimes we cannot count on the medical professionals who claim to be helping us. It is a sad state of affairs, and I am sure that I am not the only one he has done this to. So I hope that you are getting help from people who actually are trying to help you. You are not crying alone, Douglas, and your channel has done so much good for so many of us. You always tell us not to give up, so please do not give up. I turned 70 (!) in November and you are right about how it feels like your body is just crumbling. My new primary care doctor has been able to put me in twice a week physical therapy mainly for problems with aging joints. It has helped me so much physically as well as psychologically. So please stay as active as you can, to maintain and improve on the strength that you have. If you can’t bicycle, then walk, do what you can to keep your body in motion. You taught us that too. I keep you in my heart as you have been a valued and loved mentor to me. ❤️❤️❤️❤️Shirley

I am in a really dark place. I am praying for both of us to get healed from this nightmare. God bless all of us who are losing hope!!

SSRIs are soul killers!

I found that drs do not want to help. I've been on paxil for 27 yrs and effexor for ,2 yrs. I had a hard life starting in childhood and then one extreme situation after another. Should I stay on it after this many yrs?

Praying for your healing and recovery 🙏

🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏

I live in a wonderful life ... beautiful partner, loving family, 2 sweet pooches, great job, nice home, nice car, doin ok financially...but here I am ... gripped in anxiety & melancholy...and wondering what's it all about...why am I like this...does it even matter whether I existed or not....and guilt....for even feeling this way for no reason....and frustration...that I am wasting it all away....

Yep thats pretty accurate

Please help me 😢

I’m out of my mind with severe harm OCD. I can’t go to the shops without thinking I’m going to attack anyone I see on the way. I can’t go to the bathroom without fear of attacking my housemates. I can’t work in my office without fearing I’m going to attack someone. Going to play sports is difficult as I’m around kids and this makes my ocd awful. I think I should be in a mental hospital

Thank you Douglas

Hi Douglas, I've recently done a study of psalm 23 with a book 'Known' by Lisa Derhake. I'm going through an unstable time with my depression as well and the study has been hugely helpful. That book is so wonderful as Lisa wrote it herself while going through a depression episode. I highly recommend. My heart goes out to you. I pray that Lord Jesus heals you. I pray for a miracle in your life. Keep on persevering!!

Well it is always much harder looking from the inside of the Jail cell out onto a freedom. You supported many of us. And we will support you. It is a fracked up disease or state of mind or whatever someone wants to call it. One can nevver know how hard it is going to hit the next time around. Actually I have no other words than "hang in there lad, we are comming to get you." At least figuratively.Sending you some of my best thoughts and prayers to the Lord. God Bless

Thinking of you Douglas at this time. You will find the light again. God is good, bless you. Much love. X

Douglas! I'm so sorry that you have been struggling with this terrible episode. As you know, I've been there and can relate so well, especially to the agitation and early morning insomnia. Please hang in there. I'm praying for you. I thought you might like to know that my wife was prescribed your videos as well as medication when she saw her doctor regarding her depression. She said, "the doctor told me to watch these videos by a guy named Douglas Bloch". I said, "I know him!" So you see, your work has great reach!

I stopped at Manzanita my favorite place on earth

We love you sir Thanks for everything

Praying for you Douglas❤

Bullshit. It’s not temporary. It’s here and always has been.
