      There are a few suggestions worth trying
      Work out why you are shy - the first step to solving a problem is understanding why it is there.
      Be comfortable about yourself - this makes it less difficult
      Just do it - you will feel better by doing things - especially by doing activities that stretch your limits.
      (I read these and more ideas from Martos magic method website )

    Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you.
    They're either lonely, they're missing somebody, they're depressed, they're hurt,
    they're scarred from the past, they're having personal issues no one knows about,
    they have secrets you wouldn't believe. They wish, they dream and they hope. And right now,
    they are sitting here reading these words, and I'm writing this for you so you dont feel alone
    anymore. Always remember, don't be depressed about the past, don't worry about the future, and
    just focus on today. If today's not so great don't worry! Tomorrow's a new chance.
    If you are reading this, be sure to share this around to make others feel better. Have a nice day.

      Bob Eden - a psychotherapist helped me explore my childhood, which I had always expected was the root of my MDD; MDD didn't manifest until several decades afterwards (when another tragedy seemed to trigger everything).
      She was the first counsellor that started with my childhood, after several decades of attempting counselling which was somewhat helpful, for support at least.This counsellor that helped me was the fifth counsellor. I still struggle, but I try to use some of the help she gave me during our limited number of sessions.

    I've recenly just told my parents about how bad my depression has become. I was prescribed medication to make me feel better but now being about a week in the side effects juat aren't worth it. I must be an idiot though because that wont solve the problem at hand. I have decided to do counseling and push myself to do things I am normally to anxious to do. Even writing this comment is not at all something I would do. Feel free to give me an opinion on this.

    • @DouglasBloch
      @DouglasBloch  Před 4 lety +5

      Pushing yourself to do things that you would normally not to is an excellent idea. Over time, the things you had a hard time doing will become easier. Many people who recover from anxiety or depression use this technique

  • @courtneyfleischman2338
    @courtneyfleischman2338 Před 6 lety +15

    Thank you for this video. I have a similar story. I was in a relationship with my ex-fiance and was blind-sided when he called off our wedding. After we separated I fell out of contact with several of our mutual friends. I also lost the dog we had together. And after a year of this my mom fell into a severe drug addiction and our relationship became toxic so I made the decision to cease contact with her and she has not contact me in over two years. I have a SIGNIFICANTLY smaller support system now and feel chronic loneliness. I believe the lack of human connection has caused my depression. I believe that love, an abundantly strong support system, and human connection can help ease (and maybe even cure) depression for some people. I hope to recover like you did!

      @shyaaammeneen63 Před 2 lety

      Rosangela, How are you now ? To feel better reduce negative thoughts. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives good relief from stress-anxiety. To relax sit on a chair or lie down, neck straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. With daily practice the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Do the practice without any expectations. When taking a walk, at office, in college, when reading, before sleep etc observe your breath sensations. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a better life. Reduce negative social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes--Counsellor.

    I’ve been managing my depression and anxiety with medication for about 16 years .
    Recently I’ve experienced this black tar depression for about 2 days at a time a few times .
    Also something new for me last week I paced for 3 hours in the morning from 5:30 to 8:30!am , never felt manic like this before . I did have to put my black lab to sleep I had her for 15 years and animals are very comforting for me . I have rescued a puppy since then we needed each other 😍
    I have moved and finding a new dr now .
    It can be a scary difficult time .

    Everything you pin pointed about what you were going through is exactly what Im going through right now
    Its ruining my relationships with friends and family and its so overwhelming, Im constantly telling myself in my head "its just a thought" "it will pass" etc . then it goes away for abit then later on my attitude and negative mood comes back again, i reach out to my close family members but its hard to explain it to them when I know they dont know how it feels, its so frustrating but I thank you for giving me hope and ideas on how to get better
    cheers

    I’m In the throws of depression and anxiety.. also triggered by work and a relationship breakdown but I’ve had it for years and years due to a traumatic / Abusive childhood... even admitting it is strange.. but realising how it affected me over the years it’s so obvious.. when you said the only relief I get is when I sleep I SO RELATED to that!! The doom of waking up.. realising there are waking hours ahead but also feeling bad that I’m not grateful for a new day and for life as someone who is also into affirmations and the power of the mind... this gives me hope.. I honestly can’t wait to get better. I don’t know how yet.. but today I woke up and cried out for help to whatever higher power there is / the universe... I cried and begged for help and for positive life changes... for clarity... for willpower and to lead me in the right direction... I’m glad I listened to this video. I related to a lot of what you said... I’m seeking out a therapist (I’ve been resistant to that but I know it necessary) and I like working out.. but I know I need more.. for those hours when you know it’s underneath .. it’s there.. I just want it gone.. ❤️❤️❤️

    Thank you so much. I'm dealing with depression right now and I've never had it this bad before. I'm so sorry you went through this. Mine has only started about a week ago.. It feels like forever ago. I just got out of a 3 year relationship and I didn't think it would have this impact on my life. I can't eat or sleep much I have suicidal thoughts. I really need to pray to god more. I feel like it won't end. I'm 25 years old but I feel like I'll never be able to talk to another girl again. I miss her so much but I know it won't work with her. But I still love her. I'm not supposed to think about that or think about her but that's all I can think about. It feels like it's not getting better, but I will continue to pray and wait for it to get better because I believe it can and it will. Thank you for sharing the inspirational video. I hope when I'm fully recovered I can post on as well.

      +bassinassasin90 Hi. I'm just a stranger but your text inspired me to reply.
      I think something really hard can become beautiful. You love her to death and that is something you should be proud of. Even if you two can't be together. I also love people I don't fit with. And people love me though we can't even talk again. Love is not about having the person next to you, it's the feeling inside, that you have met someone who gave you three years of adventures and bright days. Take it with you. Make it your part of your book. And start writing next chapter. You never know where you'll get or who you'll meet, you are worth the best your life has to offer, and to love someone, is to let them go.
      So cry it out, write a "goodbye" note, and throw it. Make sure you YOU get to feel a closure. Then start creating a list of 10 things you want in life, right now. See the possabilities you couldn't do when being in a relationship.
      Make this your best movie in life, where you are the director, because you are, and god dammit I have been through so much heartbreak that I seriusly think my heart is trade for a fake one, but so be it, I managed to accept forgive and move on. To understand that nothing is a garantuee, and to se the joy in that, enjoy moments where they at. Be your best friend and have fun with life.
      For me it helped to talk about it, write poems, listen to sad songs,
      cry to movies, and then helping others. You are not less worth single, you are not less worth because she said a no, you are always worthy the best, remember that.

Fog, muffled hearing, feeling locked in a hell area of my brain that I can even escape through sleep - often feel worse when I wake instead of relaxed. Can't cope with anything & obsessive paranoid thoughts. I'm going to try this as not getting much help from psychiatrist. ❤️
