I have horrible panic attacks, way worse now that im 1 month clean, i cant even drive... but i have good days and bads days, and i know ill get back to walking thru my neighborhood which i love :) thats my good ritual
This is absolutely incredible. I've been following you and Douglas separately, and seeing you together in a video is amazing. And also holy s***. What Douglas said in the beginning about having to maintain a healthy routine to keep your anxiety at bay just hits me really hard. My problem usually is that I, like he said, use it as some kind of magic pill. I exercise a lot. I eat healthy. I stop drinking alcohol and after a while. I will feel a lot better and fall back in my old routines in a way of like, Oh, the magic pill worked, why should I still do it? And then I find Myself, like right now, In big relapses, where I feel worse than ever before, and I just think someone needed to say or state the fact that you need to keep it up because otherwise it is always gonna return. I've been cured for so many times before and for some reason this only just clicks right now. Amazing content.
You both are amazing!!! Thank you. May I ask I saw on Doug channel that he needs prayers today September 1. What’s going on? Is he ok? Is he going through an episode? I am praying for him. He is in my heart. I stopped counting after 13 thepisode of depression. It’s been 13 months since 2023 and I am going through depression and anxiety plus marriage issues. I am at least getting up an showering and eating now. Also going to my huge community pool. Isolating is the worst for me and I do it. I am an extrovert I love people. So hiding in my bedroom is NO NO for me. I am praying for Doug. He is in my heart. Noah you are an amazing person thank you for being a video brother. Thank you Noah. Thank you for both of you.
You might not read this comment noah as it's not your latest video but im so glad to see this content again and see two old friends back together in a good place.
Douglas is very kind to help so many people suffering from depression. Douglas’s book helped me with my first severe episode of depression when I was in my mid twenties and he was about your age or a bit older and already very successful in his career as a writer. I feel uncomfortable with the “old guy” schtick you use with him that has a dehumanizing and ageist vibe to it which is disrespectful. He may be OK with it, but that doesn’t mean it is OK, ask yourself if you were his age and would appreciate someone your age patting you on the back about being an “old guy,” I don’t think you would like.
I love these "fireside chats" that make me feel included in the conversation somehow, I know this may be asking too much, but maybe do these more often/make it a series? (once every month or two?) I've saved these to the best of the best in my mental heath folder 😊 Thank you so much to the both of you, I appreciate that you've been sharing your experience and knowledge with us, it has helped me in more ways than I can count. Even your ups and downs that you share help me to see what I've been missing out on when I hit a down and can't figure out why, and not to ignore the small stuff when things are going well. They go well because I've been making sure I do what I need to. Excellent 👍🙏
Great info! I think another aspect of spiritual healing is forgiveness of self, and others. (The way Dr. Doug looks and speaks, reminds me a bit of David Letterman ;)
This is a helpful channel. I didn't drink for a week, was so proud of myself in a way. Even the shop I buy beers from, I was in there and didn't buy any all week. There was even a guy in the queue behind me holding two of the strong lagers I usually buy and I was ok with it. I remember thinking to myself how could anyone just buy two. and then last night I did drink a lot and ate foods that don't really serve me. I feel like I let myself down so much, but it was just a one off, I need to keep a perspective focus on how well I did all week. Yes I am depressed and have anxiety, but I was eating well all week, no alcohol and really dug deep and thought I had finally found a bit of focus. Well I did, so I need to focus on that and how well I did and not beat myself up about it. It's not the end of the world kind of thing. I will get through this at some point, just saying that to myself even though I am not doing great right now, just saying that I will get through it at some point, that helps me. Thanks for this channel.
I just found your videos this morning. I feel like a switch was flipped and I'm slipping back into my depression. I was doing well after adding Lamotrigine to my Lexapro a year ago and going to therapy. I feel hopeless.
Thank you Noah, I've been through hell in the psych ward, I heard them say "were going to bake him and break him" I haven't felt the same since. My eyes look move and feel different. Thank you for sharing your stories, your a hero
I need this on my wall, been recovering from depression over the past 10 months. I have made a lot of progress compared to when I was in the pit every day and was really worried if I could go on living. My issue is that I almost forget the good days and every time a bad day comes up I feel like there is no improvement.
I can relate to Bi Polar, I have been on a roller coaster for the last 12 months 😭 at the moment I just don't want to go on, I lost my partner of 7 years and all I want is to be with him . I am on pristiq 100 mg . Thanks for this video
@@bignoknow I'm doing what I can! Thank you again for keeping me driven. I had to pull the food poisoning card at work because I dropped my paperwork smh take care
Force myself to exercise Ugh it works though I stsrt off with 5 minute arm workout on TH-cam And keep doin different 5 minutes tutorial and force it lol
I am a subscriber and watch all your videos. My 23 year old son just checked in to the Crestview/bayview Portland OR program that you were in a couple years back. So far so good but I would love for you to message me so we could discuss best options. We live in Montana. Kudos and TIA

Thanks so much Noah. You guys work so well together. God bless both of you for the work you're doing. 🙏

Have you read the book “the depression cure” by Stephen Ilardi?
Kinda looks like Anthony Bourdain probably not a good thing to say because (rip Bourdain ) , but he looks like the man
I'm so tired of life.
