I’m taking over my blog and posting real feelings and emotions.
Today I woke up feeling down. Please share an encouraging word or two for me in the comments.
And here are some encouraging quotes about depression that I’m gonna indulge in and try feel better.
- People who have never dealt with depression think it’s just being sad or being in a bad mood. That’s not what depression is for me; it’s falling into a state of grayness and numbness.” —Dan Reynolds, Imagine Dragons“
2. The hardest thing about depression is that it is addictive. It begins to feel uncomfortable not to be depressed. You feel guilty for feeling happy.” ―Pete Wentz
“3. I’ll never forget how the depression and loneliness felt good and bad at the same time. Still does.” ―Henry Rollins“
4. A big part of depression is feeling really lonely, even if you’re in a room full of a million people.” —Lilly Singh“.
5. There is no point treating a depressed person as though she were just feeling sad, saying, ‘There now, hang on, you’ll get over it.’ Sadness is more or less like a head cold – with patience, it passes. Depression is like cancer.” ―Barbara Kingsolver
6. Try to understand the blackness, lethargy, hopelessness, and loneliness they’re going through. Be there for them when they come through the other side. It’s hard to be a friend to someone who’s depressed, but it is one of the kindest, noblest, and best things you will ever do.” ―Stephen Fry
