When Going Through Hell...Don't Stop!

A Survivor's Guide to Overcoming Anxiety and Clinical Depression

By: Douglas Bloch

Narrated by: Jacob Colton, Douglas Bloch

When Going Through Hell...Don’t Stop!: A Survivor's Guide to Overcoming Anxiety and Clinical Depression is the audiobook version of the print book that was published in 2000. This compelling memoir tells the dramatic story of author Douglas Bloch’s battle with, and ultimate recovery from, a life-threatening depressive illness.

After a series of personal losses and setbacks, Douglas plummeted into a major depressive episode. For the next 10 months, he struggled to stay alive in the face of overwhelming despair as unbearable anxiety attacks alternated with dark, suicidal depressions.

Although the managed care mental health system failed to provide him with effective treatment, Douglas devised his “daily survival plan for living in hell" - a holistic recovery program consisting of physical, mental, and emotional self-care that kept him afloat until he was ultimately healed.

There’s always a new day

This book is a great reminder, that you can have faith, in knowing there’s always a better day and the constant of change, in order to persevere and to find new hope, in the midst of mental severe battles.

Great Book, Great Listen!

I found this life-affirming memoir by Douglas Bloch when I was indeed ”going through hell.” More than just a memoir, the book provides sound advice and encouragement for anyone who finds themself struggling with depression or anxiety.

As the listener discovers through Douglas’s honest and moving account of his own struggles with depression, there is hope and relief if we can keep going through the darkness to the dawn. The narrator has a very appealing reading voice that draws you into the author’s inspirational story. I'm very glad I found this gem of a book.

It was scary to listen to this. but I got thru it.

I struggled to finish bc of my anxiety. But I thank you for your strength to tell it.

It's a religious book pretending not to be.

There is a chapter title called "God is my Antidepressant." A good chunk was interesting, but it's not helpful for atheists.
