Thank you sir. It's 7:30 AM in India right now and I just had a very bad dream about my depression. But I am relieved that it was only a dream. Still it is quite disturbing. It feels good when we are reminded of the four words "This too shall pass". Thank you so much sir for giving us hope. We really love your videos.

There was a 10 year old that committed suicide over bullying. I showed my daughter (also 10) and told her she should tell me or her teachers any time she feels bullied and she now knows the 741-741 crisis text line.

Hi Doug, I hope you are well, my good man and thank you as always for making such great and useful content.

I think this video is particularly useful as I have found myself dipping a little here and there (especially for around 5 weeks or so up until this month when I wasn't sleeping properly). Thankfully, this year has been a lot less erratic for me mental health-wise as compared to last year (did ANYONE have a good year in 2016?!).

Take care as always :-)

Thank you...what about circumstances you simply cannot avoid, like chronic financial worry and losses? And living with a chronic health condition that is isolating...
Asking as a person with no medical care or family.

Your thumbnail says “Relax Prevention” lol. That’s anxiety! If you ever met my dad, I’d have him show you his extremely obvious magic tricks and you could do them for jokes. I don’t know why I thought that.

Shoulda watched this before the bloody relapse happened. It's such a pain in the arse.
