- In this video, author and mental health educator Douglas Bloch shares is an important principle. It is, "You never know what tomorrow may bring." As a result, no matter how dire your situation looks or how hopeless you feel, it is important to keep moving forward. Because the next day, some good may occur that you never could have foreseen.

You help so many people around the world thank you
You're welcome Leigh
@@DouglasBloch bless you
… including me 😊
Depression to me is like a marble on roulette wheel going round and round but never falling on a number -- it just keeps going round and round forever --never stops
Good metaphor
Thank you Douglas, for lighting up a candle in the dark for the rest of us limbo-dwellers.
You’re welcome.
I’ve been there and I’m going through it now. I’m not sure what’s keeping me going but I’m holding on.
Me too
Thank you Douglas for this! I’ve been struggling recently. Recovery is such an up and down process.
It really is. I made a video called, "I'm sick and tired of being in recovery." You might enjoy it.
It feels like giving up due to frequent episodes... feeling bad for having to take medicine...and the suffering is very painful and scary.
That wasn’t therapy; that was simply encouragement but some is better than none. Thank you, Doug!
As the old saying goes there's light at the end of the tunnel but it's typically an express train. Hope the hip is feeling better and you're back on your bike soon.
Thanks for your good wishes. It’s hard not being able to ride my bike
After every video, I always get a warm feeling of hope, in my youth, I didn’t want a future past 18 yrs old (22yrs now) RIGHT NOW, my dreams are setting up to become reality. Focused on healing my Inner Child, to truly know myself ,discover more positive gifts I can share and knowledge for those who have an ear for wisdom . You helped me release some of my worst inner critics, I thought I was going to be OCD and anxious for life. All I can say, is your a blessing to me. Thank you thank you thank you. Watch this video twice and downloaded it to my phone! I will never give up and hope you won’t either. I accept and want to cross the finish line of this marathon we call life. We can play tag with champagne and celebrate like champions!
Thanks for your feedback. You write beautifully. Are you keeping a journal or sharing your words with others
I honestly feel like I get more out of these short videos than I do with my hour long therapy sessions. Thank you for your words of encouragement Douglass 🙏🏼
You are more than welcome.
My situation is so tough..all my depression comes from not being able to sleep..it happened once before and yes I never thought it would end and it did..this time seems so much worse...again I think it will never end..
Yes, but it will end just like it did the first time. I have posted a number of good videos on sleep, including one on medication for sleep. Are you seeing a sleep specialist or a good prescriber
@@DouglasBloch I have a good prescriber yes...but the insomnia is just so intense..no meds seems to touch it...no meditation techniques work...I pray I can come out of this for my family
I just had a 3month ocd spiral and I just kept going I felt like I was walking through quick sand. It had been over 15yrs since it was that bad. I hope I can continue to manage this throughout the yrs.
❤️🌹💐...i sincerely hope you will, ...
If you need to, reach out to a mental health professional who specializes in treating OCD. There's also a good book about it called brain lock by psychologist Jeffrey Schwartz.
@@DouglasBloch thank you!!
I'm having so much trouble with this depression. Ugh! Thx for your videos.
You're welcome
I remember that I said to my self: "This is a difficult moment and It will end, I must be patient and strong, It's a matter of time". Afterwards I experienced other hard periods in my life that I didn't predict, but they belonged anyway to the same problem. After watching my life as a spectator I said that I am strong, but the episodes are not over.
Keep persevering.
@@DouglasBloch Thanks.
Hi, I am healed by God from anxiety and depression and one of your videos about ruminating was used by God as an instrument for me to know what to do to stop rumination. thank you sir for being an instrument! may God bless you!
You never know what tomorrow may bring....
Persevere....
Amen!
Thank you for putting up this video. You encouraged me A LOT. And it is a nice feeling to be validated and seen. Keep making videos!!!
I'm so glad!
No, I never would’ve expected them to happen… that’s probably one of the many reasons I’m depressed…
No one can predict the future and life is always changing. Amen!
I never imagined that I would still be alive today after everything I've been through, and this video made me think about everything, and put a positive spin on the things I've endured, and also that I am stronger than i think I am, or give myself credit for. Thank you Douglas! 🥰👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😊
You are welcome
Hang in there, buddy
Sadly, I almost always know what tomorrow will bring. I’ve known it for almost a decade now. Nothing ever changes in my life. It’s always the same rigid monotonies, the same sensory perceptions, and the same tumultuous agonies. Just when I think things might change, they stay the same. Sometimes, I wish I could just get away from it all, even if only for two or three days, but I don’t possess the resources to do so. I just hate the feeling of being trapped, of not having a choice, and of not having anyone in my life who truly understands my soulful frailties. Theoretically, I know my situation could improve, but logically, I don’t see how. If you told me my pain would end in five years, I could keep going, knowing at least there will be an end. I think people can endure almost anything if they know there will be an end, but I don’t see any evidence, none whatsoever, that I will be greeted by light at end of the tunnel, for the tunnel is infinite.
...i hope you will find new strenght, and faith, i hope you will pray,... no one can do it better than you , when you are talking to God...please, be well, and good...
i don’t have much to say, other than thank you for beautifully articulating how i feel as well. i hope you find your peace and light. you deserve it 💖
Believe what Doug is saying...read his books...he has been through it...he is the real deal...he gives us strategies to guide us...you are the only one that has power over your life...ask God what direction you need to take to improve your mental health...listen to your conscience...inner self...take 1 step at a time to a healthier brain and a joyfilled life.... Only you can take those action steps... 🙏🎉🎶✝
Praying God gives you a breakthrough and healing in your mind and heart and you have a purpose filled life on this earth. There is only one of you...you can be used mightily by God to bless others...I hope you let him use you for his purposes. It is only when we bless others when we truly get blessed.
Just take the next right step...that's all you can do. 1 step at a time...and celebrate your small victories. ❤🙏
You sound very intelligent. End of the tunnel will come. You will move, you’ll change jobs, meet new people. Why do I believe this, because I was you at one time. Now I fight to maintain just a stable life, a routine, familiar things and places. I was taken out of my comfort zone, now I have to adjust. I hate it, nothing seems like I can control anything, all these surprises pop up, outside of myself and I want to run away or hide. I guess am too ridged. Maybe it’s my age. I was use to things being a certain way. Now, I live where I don’t want to be. Now, I know no one. Just from losing a job, everything went down hill. I’d rather have what you speak of, a safe place. You can go away, go for a walk, even drive somewhere, park then go for a walk. Feel the trees and grass, smell the air, take your time. Get “ Feeling Good “ by David Burns, it’s about CBT . Join Doug’s live on Sunday at 1 pm pacific time on TH-cam , I think. Join the whatup app, ask about it on the live chat. Make little changes, ones you’ll be comfortable with.
So true. Sometimes the tunnel goes on forever…. No light at the end of tunnel. I am so stuck in deep hole I can’t see the way out….
This video helped me regain my lost sense due to a nasty major depressive episode. Thank you Douglas you are a wonderful person!
You’re more than welcome. I’m glad the video was hellpful
Wanted to sincerely thank you for this video Douglas, the starting point of my recovery I feel. Been down for quite a while, starting back Monday to face it all as best I can, all I can do is try my best.
You’re welcome
Thank you, Douglas! I watch your videos in moments of despair (usually), and they never fail to help.
I'm glad my videos have been helpful.

wonderful content
Thanks, Douglas!
You’re welcome.
Thx.
Great info always!
No problem!
Thanks Doug!
You’re welcome
Thank you so much, I really needed to hear this today🙏🏽✨
Thanks for your efforts to help people who are suffering. As the days months and years go by and life keeps beating you as you literally lie on the ground then hope evaporates. It's difficult to believe there is any miracle with your name on it. If your purpose is to continue to live even day to day with some supposed hope for a miracle that will change your life you do eventually realise there is no miracle only suffering.
Great video, well done sir!
Glad you liked it!
I love your videos!
Thank you. I'm glad you find them helpful

Your videos encourage me! Thanks for wonderful videos. Everytime I feel depressed I watch your videos and feel much better. You are inspiration in my life. Thanks again!
You're very welcome
i feel i like tell this about my experience before the pandemic years back some1 nice was kind enough to replace our broken tire for free on our way to my favorite amusement park this was in 2007 so jus trying to give hope hope always comes to u if your patient yes doug
I hear you sir , it’s been YEARS of hell 🤷♂️
Thank you for your videos. I told my psychiatrist that they really help me because it's like talking to someone that really understands! God bless you ❤️
You're welcome. Can you let years ago just know about my book healing from depression: a body mind and spirit recovery program. I think that some of his patients might benefit from it.
@@DouglasBloch Yes, I'd be happy to share it with my psychiatrist and therapist. I'm reading your book now 😊
Thank you. Make sure you show too. Hardly anybody is buying my book
G-d bless you Douglas Bloch for reaching out to help and heal depressed people.
You’re welcome
I particularly like the end comments
He's a real mensch
Yes....
a person of integrity and honor.
I am currently hanging out with my military, Doug!
Thanks Douglas. I'm glad for you that you got back together with your wife.
You and me both!
The Lord your God is the faithful God. He will be with you in every situation and every circumstance. He will never leave you nor forsake you, so do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” See Deuteronomy 7:9, 31:
thank you sir! you are truly an inspiration!
You are very welcome
@@DouglasBloch your videos are the only reason why i am still alive and didnt comitted suicide as of now
Great video-love the joke!
Glad you enjoyed it
Watching you is such a joy! I can think of many wonderful (and not so wonderful) things that have happened in my life that were unexpected. Each of these things instigated a necessary change in me and I am grateful. Thank you for another thought provoking video 🙏🖖
You are more than welcome
I gave you a Thumbsup.
I've been waiting my whole life for the miracle to come along, but it remains the same grey suffering, day after day, year after year
I'm sorry to hear about your suffering. I am assuming you are suffering from depression. If so what kind of treatments have you tried. I hope that you are seeing a therapist. There are many avenues and treatment such as antidepressants, TMS, and ECT and ketamine.
@@DouglasBloch Thanks Douglas. I have tried multiple therapists and multiple antidepressants, but the problem is always there. I believe it is hardwired into me and is reinforced by bad life circumstances that I can't really do much about. Those other alternative therapies you mentioned are very scary to me
TMS is relatively benign. Talk to a psychiatrist or psychologist about it
@@DouglasBloch thanks, I will
“Keep on keeping on” …. to borrow a phrase from the groovy ‘70s
I love watching your videos…but what if you feel like you have no idea what you’re trying to achieve anymore? aka stuck in a rut
I never expected to get married; have a great daughter. magnify tenfold expectation that past and present will continue into the future.
Hi Doug,
You mention getting healed but I can't quite make out where you say it was? Was it the Richmond Centre please? I would like to find out more, but can't quite hear what is being said. Thanks if you can clarify, Anne from Dublin, Ireland, hoping for healing also.
It was the Living Enrichment Center, a New Thought spiritual center. Unfortunately, it dissolved in 2004.
@@DouglasBloch Thank you
Hi Doug. I know you are trying to help but. Its been 7 years for me(persistent depression). I survive with coping strategies and medications. But at this point it I feel why should I keep going, yes i know i have fought long enough, but what is the point, life is just pain and suffering every day. I never really had any good time. My twenties are almost all done at this point. I'm feeling a lot suicidal these days.
Haha thanks Douglas.
👏👏
Thank you.
...but please, tell us more about that miracle of 74,/ or so/, hours, of transformational healing ...!!!!!!🤗
Here's a video I made about it. th-cam.com/video/4Gp0QIXG4Aw/w-d-xo.html
I already gave up
I gave up 3 months ago
Never Gonna Give you up
Never Gonna let you down
I have been feeling like if dying lately. I don't know how I'm going to survive! However, I'm not giving up and I can't give up as long as there's breath in my body. I don't know how my mind and body can stand all this punishment. Also my brain keep playing tricks on me. Recovery is such a struggle.Sometimes, I can't believe I'm still alive.
Yes, our brain plays tricks on us. We have to learn to ignore them. Do you have a counselor you’re working with?
broominating!
How did you heal in 72 hours?
I'm in bad depression right now so I understand
I still don't know
You got healed in 72 hours?
Nice, poignant words at the end Doug.
Thanks
Ok youtube how did you know.
Yip in the Abyss right now
Remember, what goes down let's come up. Hold on and persevere until you're out of the abyss
Learn to make the best spaghetti you can and don't forget garlic bread. Awm
Life for me is like chewing bubble gum thats long lost its flavor 😮
Sorry
That’s OK. I like your metaphor. Have you tried reaching out for support to friends or a professional?
