    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.

    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.

God bless.

    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 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

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!!

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!
