Douglas Bloch, I am subscribed to your channel, and I hope to see you in one of your live chats soon! Take good care of you. You are doing an Awesome Job! Thanks so much!♥️
Worry is a joy thief. I hate thieves. Please Lord help me to protect myself from worry. Thank you for this video. I want joy back in my life and I’m going to use your strategy.
1) become aware that I am worrying; 2) realize that this is only my imagination, not real, now I am breathing and I am ok; 3) bring myself back to present via positive self-talking or activity. Thank you for sharing these!
@@DouglasBloch Mr Bloch how can I get in contact with you? I am from Montenegro,3rd world country,not in USA. Very hard situation,lost or hope. All support I can find is here online. Nothing I can do where I am. Don't want to give up because of my dog. Feeling completely lost. You are helping a lot but I need your advice. Have a mobike phone here that is all. Maybe you are saving my life with you talks. Thank you so much 🍀
That Shakira ringtone is the joke of the day. Let’s take it that way. Because Doug didn’t say a joke at the beginning of the video. God bless u richly.
I watched you videos on my other account Thank you sir, you are one of the instruments that God use for me to know what I have suffered like anxiety, depression and rumination if thoughts. Now I am completely Healed by God. Glory to God!
i have the same same exact worries.. worried about being stuck im my parents home.worrying ill never be independant worried about being stuck with this. worry about being an irresponsible anxious artist forever.
Sean K. : Anxious people are among the most creative individuals. We use our creativity to make up fears. But you can use that power for good, to express yourself.
Sean K. You at least have parents home. U can imagine how much more are they worried those who doesn’t have parents close by. But God is good. There is still hope.
But these are good worries with incentives. The worrying of being stuck with your parents and not being independent should serve as a motivator, not hold you captive.
I'll trade with you, haha. Don't know how helpful this will be but you can always try seasonal work in resort towns. I'm stuck in that, myself, but I've found that the people who do enjoy it were worrying about the exact same thing so give that a shot if you're like OP, I guess.
I have fear being alone my daughter moved out and its been hard going home to an empty house i keep busy just being home alone its hard and your program has help me. Learn what anxiety is i love you say it will pass and live daily and keep busy dont isolate ..thank u god bless
I can relate. Loneliness is a big one that I deal with constantly. No family, no friends, just me. Loneliness and being isolated can really start playing tricks with the mind. Wishing you the best, hang in there.
Doug, Thanks for the videos. Been learning a lot from them and finding them quite helpful! Just wanted to give the right Twain quote, just because I know you like jokes, and this is his wit at it's best: “I've lived through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened.” ― Mark Twain
Here is a variation I heard; "I'm and old man and I've had a great many troubles, but most of them never happened." Thus, what we worry about seldom comes to pass.
One trick I learned which has been helpful is to list daily worries on a monthly calendar. After the month passes, look back at your daily notes and notice ... few if any of the anticipated worries actually occurred and realize the waste of energy spent. This tends to build positive momentum for me. After a few months looking back... it wasn’t so bad. 👍
@@DouglasBloch thanks Douglas watching a lot of your videos at the moment. I think and hope I can cope better this time than 2 years ago. This too shall pass.
I am worrie about moving out from my parents home to another city for working, I don't want to stay in empty house. I love being with my dad and my mom but there's no chance for my major inside the town
It's helpful, thank you 😊 I recently started learning how to be present and just now I notice that taking care of the present moment is all that I really need, future never comes and so getting from one moment to another is literally taking care of whole life. And 99,9% of the times I am safe in present moment and so for me it is sort of like a safe space to be, and the only real place I could be at 🌻
The quote from Mark Twain was slightly different but the inference was the same, I dunno where I got it from but my interpretation was : "I have experienced many traumas in my life, most of which never happened"!
I didn't know you were still suffering from depression . all your videos you look very happy . in my state I would never be able too fake it like that it so bad that even simple things are very difficult .
You drive an ISF too? Maybe it’s an ISF owner thing to always have anxiety because our cars are 400+hp and driving it always gives us adrenaline which gives us worry. Is what I’m saying crazy? Maybe, maybe not.
I've always worried. I hate it. Some comes from lack of practical help in life. I fear the worst all the time. Yet I'm witty, laugh often, and can make other people laugh. Yet I live in a dread. - But much of that is because of my circumstances.
Watching the video... ok hear and now ( as my gut turns into a knot) ok be in present ( as my gut turns into a knot) uuuuffff admire what this dude has done but is hard... glad he turned his life around...
I loved ❤️ the phone interruption. I shared your laughter.! 🤣 A "teachable moment" for me. An occasion to recognize that it's OK: no, more than OK! It's impossible for anyone (and that includes me...) to be perfect. Sometimes I feel as though I am charged daily with practicing self-acceptance that I can no more be perfect than I can fly. I composed a response for times when I am witness to an adventure such as yours; "I love it when the humanness that is oh, so evident in me, shines occasionally in someone else." I am learning about laughter. Learning to laugh with others and to laugh at myself. I'm learning that when I make a slip, the vast majority are not judging me harshly. They laugh with me, not at me.
knowing something shouldnt be done doesnt necessarily means we can stop doing it. i find worries are sometimes beyond our control, they just keep popping up in my head no matter how hard i try not to think about it even though i know worrying is completely useless. just like OCD...everyone knows washing our hands a hundred times a day is idiotic and yet we cant stop doing it. worrying is somewhere along the same line.
I guess I have a true problem with "surrendering" because of situations I've been through. My mind is my gift and my curse but I'm working towards it just being my gift forever.
It's almost 3 am i cant sleep because im scared of not waking up or fear of death they say... but im not really scared of dying... Im scared of losing my desires... Im afraid on what may happen from people around me... so i overthink it and its been almost a month of not getting enough sleep... since last month i always sleep around 3 to 4 am of overthinking.... I'll try this steps and hopefully it works... Thank you!
I have fear of going thru another year of horrific insomnia (not sleeping 2-3 nights in a row), it started from health issues (adrenal fatigue), so since I know it (insomnia) did happen, now it's a horrific truama I endured that I worry will happen again. So my fear is fearing more truama which causes me to miss out on sleep and my fear actually ends up happening. Ugh the cycle is so hard. Thanks for your help
I have had insomnia often on since I was a child. I take a low-dose of an antidepressant called amitriptyline, which helps. There are other medications that are non-addictive that I have used. You should talk to your psychiatrist about these options. Some of my group members have used an antipsychotic called Seroquel which really knocks them out.
@@DouglasBloch thanks Douglas so much for taking the time to respond with helpful tips! I'm so sorry you also struggle insomnia, it's frustrating. Thanks for making these videos they are extremely informative and helpful! They are a Godsend 🤗
Ive noticed this phenomenon as a stock trader, You get into a stock expecting it to go up, your first thought is “this thing is gonna tank on me”. Now, you take that same stock in its exact same position and you short it, expect it to go down. Whats the first thought? “This thing is gonna skyrocket through the roof on me” The solution is very simple, if its not going in your direction get out. The problem here, that’s related to any activity you’re doing, is that emotion, “worry”, can be so strong it can blow up in your face. This is not abnormal behavior, in fact I think being totally oblivious to any potential problems is abnormal. There are some great techniques here, but how do you make them stick, become a lifestyle without daily medication? and is that even possible? I can meditate myself into thinking this way, but it’s very difficult to maintain in the heat of battle. I know people are gonna say “It takes practice” but fight or flight is a much stronger adversary than we give it credit for. Im just looking for solutions.
This had a very upbeat vibe to it I’ve found myself watching these kind of videos but they have a bad vibe to them and they don’t help me but this one was good thank you very much
yes I have and I bought your book healing from depression I began reading it yesterday and I have watch most of your videos i think you bring peace to the people that listen to you after God of cource
Yes i also bouht your book healing from depression and began reading it i also watched most of your vedios you bring peace to peaple how lestin to you after God of course
@@DouglasBloch It's a country with a lot of serious problems, but still a good place somehow. Hope to see you round here one day, thanks for the videos!
Reminds me of Tony Robbins pattern interrupts. I admit it can be easier to have someone else positively interrupt my negative thoughts than myself. I say positively interrupt because sometimes spouses for example can do harm than good.
@@DouglasBloch works better if someone else can also help break the pattern. Suggestions include make a strange noise, ask a silly question, splash of water on the face. Anything to jolt your mind out of its loop. The another approach he recommends is using anchors to refire a positive state. For me, it can be a simple thing such as putting on an old song, wearing a favorite watch, etc. That said, once in full panic mode, it can be hard for self-help. A friend that can help break negative loops can be a real lifesaver.
This was the story of my life. I've now made a whole comedy channel about it (if we can't laugh we'll cry, right?) Thanks for the great video advice! 😬😬
I'm glad the the videos have been helpful. By the way, I wanted to let you know about a crowdfunding site that I have started in order to help me continue to create these videos. Please feel no obligation to contribute, but if you would like to take a look, here is the website. www.patreon.com/douglasbloch
Worry about everything and feel sad in every moment, it's chronic and felt acutely every hour of every day. cannot see myself ever being happy or free of extreme worry, sadness and the existential gravity of grief like feelings. Not sure if it's cos I was born an extreme empath and HSP, INFP too, but I feel so alone living like this. I know no-one who feels so gutted on an hourly and daily basis due to all the suffering in the world, including my world, that causes agonising and futile pain that will never be escaped from. I learned to grieve before I learned to breath, and it has never left me. Everything feels hopeless, and every moment is an act. There feels little hope except worry and sadness until the end comes.
I’m sorry you are feeling so much pain. Have you tried any medication? There once was a book by a writer named Dion fortune called psychic self-defense which was used to help people protect them selves against negative influences. You might want to check to see if it’s still in Print.
I don’t have specific videos. But the principles in this video would apply to worrying about family. If someone in your family is suffering from depression, I do have a video called “when someone you love is depressed.“
Great advice Douglas my question is if you wouldn't mind answering,This kind of relates to worrying about things that are unlikely to happen. What would your suggestions be for something that is going to happen... For example an interview,a dreaded doctors or dental apt a college presentation this sort of thing. I know if I have something I find stressful on the horizon I will worry myself sick weeks beforehand so what would your strategies be for reeling it in and calming the mind. I think your amazing you have been through hell to get where your at and your taking the time out to help us... Just thank you 😚
I have an exercise in my book Healing From Depression that is called "Back to the Present." If you provide your email address, I will email it to you. The key is to bring your mind back to the here and now whenever you begin to working. Since the future has not yet happened, it cannot harm you. Thus, it makes more sense to focus on the present. When you do this, anxiety decreases.
Hello, I have recently been made redundant and have got a job that really worries me as it is completely out of my comfort zone. I spend every night praying not to wake up and i wish i could die as my whole life has been a mess. I have no confidence and no self esteem and no-one to talk to. I am on holiday and i still cannot think about relaxing. Any advice would be appreciated.

How to overcome worry.
Self talk
Think present. Ignore over thinking future
Wow, back to the present. It's awesome and powerful words.
Also, works for study distractions and concentration.

1. Catch the thought
2. Tell yourself that it is just a thought. Live at present moment
3. This too shall pass. Distract yourself. Live inside out.

‘Cheer up, it may never happen.’
Great advice Douglas my question is if you wouldn't mind answering,This kind of relates to worrying about things that are unlikely to happen. What would your suggestions be for something that is going to happen... For example an interview,a dreaded doctors or dental apt a college presentation this sort of thing. I know if I have something I find stressful on the horizon I will worry myself sick weeks beforehand so what would your strategies be for reeling it in and calming the mind. I think your amazing you have been through hell to get where your at and your taking the time out to help us... Just thank you 😚
I have an exercise in my book Healing From Depression that is called "Back to the Present." If you provide your email address, I will email it to you. The key is to bring your mind back to the here and now whenever you begin to working. Since the future has not yet happened, it cannot harm you. Thus, it makes more sense to focus on the present. When you do this, anxiety decreases.
Hello,
I have recently been made redundant and have got a job that really worries me as it is completely out of my comfort zone. I spend every night praying not to wake up and i wish i could die as my whole life has been a mess. I have no confidence and no self esteem and no-one to talk to. I am on holiday and i still cannot think about relaxing. Any advice would be appreciated.
