Happy holidays. Happy every day. Give the gift of love in whatever way you can, some way, somehow, somewhere. Show someone you care, even if it's a total stranger. You'll know what to do when the time comes. Trust your heart. Let your light shine. ✌🏿❤️🌹
I miss my Dad, who passed Sept 13/21. All I do is cry, I wish I could hear his voice. Scary, to go anywhere with CORONAVIRUS variants. Tears spontaneously leak out, am missing my Dad something awful.
That is very tough. I hope you can find other people who can help you mourn. In Portland we have grief groups at hospitals where you meet with other people who have also gone through a loss. It seems to help.
Thanks Mr Douglas Bloch 😍 I have lately been trying to practice that everyday is Xmas thanksgiving and Easter. It's not looking like I will be with family or friends but God is always with me,and he is the best friend and family anyone could have.....😁😍
Post-Holiday Blues seem real as well.... The disappointment of not being so great,and being isolated as well. Your advice for structure is perfect! Merci Beaucoup!🥰😎💯
I was feeling quite down this Christmas. Then I received a call from a relative I had helped out financially for Christmas. It helped to raise my spirits and made me think how Jimmy Stewart had to learn that he was a positive influence for others in It's a Wonderful Life. Sometimes we forget the positive role we play, and dwell too much on the negatives in life.
We lost my husband’s Mom on November 3rd. She was 91 and some have said “Well, she lived a long life!” Yes, she did. She was the matriarch of this family! We’re just trying to get through it. Thank you for your kind words/tips. Just working thru the pain, ♥️
Thanks so much for being here Douglas. I hope you take comfort from someone/something the way so many of us across the world find comfort in you and your videos.
January and February are the months I always stay busy as much as possible , ile go for a swim , the cinema and theatre , library ,the cold weather can be a big restriction , but by keeping extra busy you can counteract it .
*SUBSCRIBER HOLIDAY HUGS* to everyone out there who feels the same. I also have too many things to list here, but I for sure needed this today Douglas 🥰
Your timing is perfect! It is comforting to be reminded that i am not alone when i feel lonely during this time of the year, when everybody else goes home to their own families and i have nobody but myself. I am introverted and i like being alone most of the time but Christmas season is supposed to be a time for family reunions. Listening to Chistmas carols just makes me more homesick.
Doug theirs is not that much their for housebound people or even bed bound. Iv had a caregiver just leave. And iv cryed for 2 days. Its hard finding caregivers. If I was well I would be out doing kind things for people. Yesterday I was ready To throw myself in the river. Due to health reasons I can not have the vaccines so that means I can not go in a care home. I have very little quality of life. And am weary. Just as I get over something Something else happens. Its a freezing cold foggy night just what i love and I would love to be out feeling the cold whilst helping the homeless. But am here alone as always ever evening. To Fatigued to do anything. Carnt watch t.v iv still got daily migraines and vertigo and chronic fatigue syndrome. Am ready to go doug I really am .. Much love 💘
God bless you and thank you for the video. A couple of your videos that I came across really helped me a year or so ago and you helped me turn things around. Your words of encouragement really help and I can't thank you enough for doing what you do.
It is truly so, even though I've managed to cope relatively well with stress, it has become more difficult as of late... I really dislike the winter...
i am in a similar annual pickle for christmas. no family. literally none. so of course the damn media is working on your mind with its sugarcoated nonsense about family unison and happyhappyjoyjoy. F THAT! here's some truth: a lot, if not the most cases of domestic violence emergencies happen on 2nd christmas day. presents have been gifted, everyone is coming down from the food and alcohol binge....and then the ohohohohohohooooold family quarrels are coming up again et voila! also keep in mind, if you feel totally lonely - there are so so so so many people who are lonely on christmas. its not a specific curse against you and its not your fault. i am pretty sure, reddit, discord and other online social get-togethers offer a good way to hang out with likeminded lonely people during those 3 days. may i contribute my personal mantra, that always helps me (besides getting hammered!) during the years end period, and trust me, its working since over 150 years now: *BAH, HUMBUG!*

Sending love and happy holidays to you too Zizi xx
We must make the most out of it and celebrate true meaning and not get caught up in materialism.
I am really overwhelmed. No energy to exercise or clean my house. And having family over on Christmas Day. I pray I will find energy 🕯❤️
Best wishes to you.
@@Job.Well.Done_01 Thank you. And to you as well!
I miss my Dad, who passed Sept 13/21. All I do is cry, I wish I could hear his voice. Scary, to go anywhere with CORONAVIRUS variants. Tears spontaneously leak out, am missing my Dad something awful.
So sorry you lost your Dad,.God bless.

Glad I could help.
Me too. Thank you for your video.
Thanks for watching!
I get Christmas blues.
Excellent.....thanks for posting
You’re welcome.
Happy Holidays Douglas!
Same to you! Nice to hear from you.
I’ve had trouble getting out of bed. Getting behind on work. Can’t sleep
Detach from the world; be good to yourself and celebrate the fact that you are uniquely and wonderfully made!
These could be signs of depression. Have you reached out to a mental health professional?
@@DouglasBloch I have not yet.
Your hair looks better Douglas, lol. Great video once again.
Now that you mention it it does I think he is using product now and not telling us.☺
Such a help, thankyou 💕
You're so welcome!
Thank you, Douglas! For the millionth time, this is exactly what I needed! I must have holiday depression!
I’m glad it was helpful. I like your name.
❤️
Very well said Douglas 🎄🌲 ( I'll email you soon )
I look forward to getting your email.
It is truly so, even though I've managed to cope relatively well with stress, it has become more difficult as of late... I really dislike the winter...
Fortunately, winter is always followed by spring
Thank you for many tips.
You’re welcome.
I can't work because of mental illness and this time of year make me feel like $hit because I don't have enough money to shop and buy my family gifts.
I understand. You’re not alone.
Give them yourself the best gift and inform them that world received the best gift of all on this day.
She may have been just a chicken 🐔,but a very adventurous,spiritual chicken😂💞

Thanks for your feedback.
I looked up videos about beating the holiday blues and found this. You spoke some good words to me, there. 🫶🏻
I'm glad I chose to do that today.
