Flashback Friday - Is Our Society Making You Depressed?
In this video, author and mental health educator Douglas Bloch shares his belief that the society in which we live creates the conditions that lead us to feel disconnected--from our work, from each other, from the natural world, etc. And it is this sense of disconnection that causes so many people in the culture to feel depressed.

Douglas Bloch Interview and Update
Why would anyone want to live
Douglas!! 🎉 We love you. Praying for you and anyone reading this.
🥰
Douglas, praying 🙏🏻 for your healing and recovery. 💕
Prayers for you…still.
who feels all alone right now?
Douglas, after my daughters death you have been a source of inspiration, encouragement, strength and hope. I wish you the very best and pray that you come out of this suffering soon.
Serenity is not freedom from the storm but go through the storm till sunshine❤
Douglas---you look better. Sending you healing vibes daily! I think since pandemic so many people are out of their minds. They are rude, drive fast and lack common sense. I'm in San Diego and am worried about the future of our society.
It really depends on where you look.
Praying for your full recovery, Douglas. You have helped so many of us, and now we are all here for you.
I'm richer in spain than the us.
This society is absolutely toxic and things will not change until society does. Unfortunately I don't see that happening. On the other hand I hope you have been having more good days than bad Douglas.
Douglas, I really hope you are doing better, man. Difficult times are indeed difficult times, but know that we're all in the fight with you, my friend. You are never alone! Also, solid, quality content as always. ❤
There is a lesson we can learn and benefit from from every mistake we make. A key part of life is about learning and growing from our mistakes.
1. Set realistic standards and have realistic expectations for ourselves based on our situation in life. 2. Something positive or good can come out of every situation no matter how bad or negative it seems at the time it happened.
1. I think there are some good support groups on facebook. 2. I think youtube is a good resource for increasing knowledge and education about mental health and how to improve it with therapy, dietary supplements, and lifestyle medicine. Plus youtube provides healing spiritual practices like music, meditations, affirmations, visualisations, hypnosis tracks, belly breathing, yoga, qi gong etc that can improve mental health.
Friday replay is a good reminder what we learned in the past.
Yes. Our society is constantly making us depressed. People have become so competitive these days it's appalling.
I think there are benefits and drawbacks to both masculine yang competition and feminine yin cooperation.
I hope you feel better soon, Douglas💛
Love you doug
Thank you for taking us along on your journey! I pray that you find a way out of the darkness 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
We’re always praying for you Doug. We love you and are confident in the ECT bringing you peace and healing. Like you’ve told me and many others, Never Give Up, you will rise again my friend.
Doug you're a hero!
Continued prayers for you, Douglas. Thank you so much for updating us.
I pray for you Mr Douglas Get well soon 🙏
Your videos have meant a lot to me over the years. Wishing more of the good days for you, and less of the bad.
❤
May God give you healing and you get better soon.
I will pray for you Douglas. It is so unfair because you have done so much good. I know it sounds like a gimmick, but it would no harm to try a hot sauna with breaks over a couple of hours. It can knock the tension out of you. All the best. Alan
I have been depressed for a long time, but after taking shrooms few months ago, l feel much happier and highly motivated and my ADHD gone , lost a ton of anxiousness and had a few epiphanies about how I should live my life. I decided to buy an ounce for backup, but haven’t yet felt the need to take any more since then.
I have autism, I was diagnosed with it when I was 15. I tried shrooms and it made me function so much better.
Eek I’m autistic too and might wanna try mushrooms. How do I go about it?
Yeah doc.brenttt is your guide. Man is exceptional with anything psychedelics.
Hello Can he be reached on IG?
Yes doc.Brentttt
I have given up on ever getting better. I really hope I am wrong. This disease is the worst thing that could ever happen to any one. I will keep on fighting it with the tools I am learning here. I'm always fighting the urge to not be here. It is not God's will for me or anyone else to kill themselves. With God's help I will find the way out or at the very least the tools to manage it better. God bless everyone who is struggling with this cruel disease.
I remember one of your videos and you said something like...Just say no. Just say no to this Douglas. Call upon the Lord and pray out loud. Tell the Enemy to leave in the Name of Jesus. God is there and knows everything your going through. He loves you. We all love and care about you Douglas!
Dear Douglas, I am thinking of you, you will get through this! Take it day by day! You helped me a lot in a very, very severe crisis, I am healthy and happy and good again. You have everything within you, you are whole and loved, don't trust your thinking. I send you love from Switzerland!!
My thoughts are with you. Your videos have given me much comfort over the years. I wish you a speedy recovery.
Douglas we love and miss you ❤
I left my job and now I’m regretting. Been jobless since one month and I’m having depression
By the way, there is talk of Mercury retrograde around April 2024, in astrology (can Google it). Apparently this can lead to a period of unsteadiness, confounding of emotions and also depression in humans. Maybe there is some truth to this ? I have also experienced a difficult period since about then, without knowing about this phenomenon.
Oh how wonderful to see you seated where you are usually seated during the live videos Douglas ... My friend does not have the capacity to read at the moment due to agitation and he loves reading so my friends and I take it in turns to read to him. He loves it. Perhaps another coping mechanism perhaps not but always good to share what might be conducive on this journey.
Oh Douglas ... You are a POWERHOUSE for making it this far.
Bless youDOUG , thank you for the update. sorryto hear you are not doing well. Keep up the walking if you can. Bless
Please God heal you and come to your rescue x we all love you and you have helped us so much ❤ keep fighting my friend
Please find out if it's a reaction to the meds. A similar thing happened to me and it was the meds. Praying for you
Oh, this was SO good. I was wondering whether you (Mr Bloch) were able to read comments, and now you indicate explicitly that you do read them! :-) :-) Do hang in there. I think of you rather often, as indeed I also think of Dr Viktor Frankl. - (signed, gratefully) Toomas Karmo, in Nõo Rural Municipality, south-central Estonia
What a positive observation that I completely overlooked. What a lovely message. Thank you for reminding me of Dr Frankl too and his wisdom.
Thanks, these are good affirmations
Thinking of you Doug! Thank you for helping me with my battle with depression. Remember we are all here for you. Wishing you a speedy healing and recovery!
You will recover ❤ praying for you always x
hi, Douglas. i used to watch many of your videos when i was going through a depressed period some years ago (i still come visit your channel from time to time). they have been helpful. you have been helpful. thank you. also, i apologize if i stressed you out, as i made a few comments complaining about some video posting things, about a year (or maybe two) or so ago. i wish you recover and be well, and know that you did help other people (like me). i would like to see you active again : ) good health!
❤❤❤
Your channel has helped me so much over the years. I'm sad that you are going through this. I hope the ECT treatments help you.
