Hi Douglas, you told me many years ago when I was in bad shape that this too shall pass! Even though I didn’t believe you and felt utterly hopeless and finished, it did pass and I enjoy life again I know your brain is telling you everything is over and there is no hope but I promise you it is wrong. There will come the day when we celebrate you feeling well again, I have no doubt. Remember, one day, one hour, one breath at a time. This too shall pass. You are in my thoughts daily and I look forward to chatting with you when you feel well again. God bless

[@stopkafirophobia]

I just "POPPED THE SURFACE" from being in a very life-threatening BiPolar 1 Agitated Depression. Douglas Bloch, I took you & your KZbin Videos to bed & hopefully a little bit of sleep each night. I just put my Android Smartphone next to my ear; and I just absorbed & let your KZbin Videos MESSAGES - SINK IN. I was so lost in despair, I did not think anything was happening. Apparently, you loving, kind, compassion, & consistent videos supported me to FIND A WAY OUT. My last episode was in September of 2002, so I was really "caught off guard" by ferocity & intensity of this agitated depression. It now appears that you are now facing your own challenges. I will be keeping you in my healing thoughts. I would like to make a personal donation to you, as I feel anything to help you financially, would give you the freedom to use it in any manner, which supports you & yours during this challenging time. Please advise. Respectfully yours, L-CJ YOU SAVED MY LIFE!

[@nathanchenery1075]

Hope your getting better Douglas. We love you.

[@GL00MYG1RL]

[@bluemoonrising7200]

Sending much love and prayers. Hope you are feeling better.🙏❤

[@SeekingGodwithallmyheart]

Take your time to heal. I just want to say thank you for everything that you have done for us. Your life has meaning, God has used you to help us in our darkest moments. Where would we be if you had not intervened on our lives. Even the ones who watch you but don’t comment but if there clinging on to the hope you give them. You are truly loved. Please keep fighting. God will use this part of your suffering as your story but you will overcome it. You are strong, you’ve beat it before and you will do it again ❤ we love you ❤

[@ek6919]

Hi Doug hope you're doing better. Take all the time you need. Your Friend, E.

[@constancecampbell4610]

Missing you and think of you often. Praying you will not be held hostage by this episode much longer. 💕🙏🏻🦋

[@philmecup]

Thanks Douglas. I’m in a dark time and your video was painful and comforting at the same time. Appreciate your effort!

[@p5aul789]

Finding meaning in suffering, a difficult question. However what does not kill you makes you stronger.

[@IlikeTurtles316]

Hope you are feeling better Doug!

[@michaelm4603]

PS - I’m in NYC so that’s where I’m looking for an “in person” group.

[@katebausch4481]

Thank you! 💚

[@Rina.J89]

I love you ❤ just when I think you have said everything there is to say about the topic of depression, you surprise me with another great video

[@Droidzi]

This too shall pass.

[@michaelm4603]

Great video. Thanks. There’s something I’d like to share with your viewers (eventually) but not sure the best way to do that. Please let me know. Also, do you know the best way to find - or do you have any specific recommendations - for group therapy which focuses on the struggle we go through when we are in a fairly major depression. There is no son’t in my mind that group support and sharing is a huge part of getting through this and past it. Thanks.

[@Tunners26]

Any news on Dougs condition? 🙏

[@dirtyunclehubert]

had there been any somber news, we would have gotten them ASAP. no news is good news!

[@judinolan221]

Where’s the monkey? ❤
