“Pretending to be passionate when we are truly depressed doesn’t help. Numbing our feelings only makes things worse. Depression taught me to experience all of my feelings and not push them aside.”
Yong Kang Chan, The Emotional Gift: Memoir of a Highly Sensitive Person Who Overcame Depression

“I remind myself if happiness is fleeting, then so is sadness.
I remind myself depression is the weather, and I'm a weather-worn tree.
I remind myself even the worst storms pass.
I remind myself I've survived them all.”
Shaheen Bhatt, I've never been (Un)happier

“When you're in the throes of what feels like all-consuming pain, sleep is respite. It's your last refuge from the unrelenting guerilla attacks carried out against you by your own mind.”

Yong Kang Chan, The Emotional Gift: Memoir of a Highly Sensitive Person Who Overcame Depression

C. JoyBell C.
“Sometimes the cure for depression is not seeing more happiness around; rather, is in fact seeing how much happiness can exist in hell. From day one, we are fixated on attaining a state of envisioned "paradise"; both here in this life on Earth and in the "afterlife" in the form of "Heaven". Us humans are always reaching for this Heaven-state while still here on Earth, making anything and anybody that falls short feel like a less-acceptable living thing. We are making the Gargoyles feel unwanted because all we want are Angels. Those who are less than happy do have a place in this world, a place in this life. And it's time everyone stop reaching for illusions and start reaching in front of them and beside them and behind them, to hold the hands of those around them. We chase after illusions; we forget people.”
C. JoyBell C.

“Telling a person who is depressed to have positive thoughts is the same as telling a sick person not to be sick. It doesn’t work.”

“Our gift to love...inspires love...
when we close our eyes to see...
the big picture”
Anjalts

Cic Mellace
“People don’t care about this kind of stuff, ya know? We want self-improvement, not self-knowledge. We want change,” he motioned with his hands in a strange attempt to mock modern-day hipsters' version of change, “But not for any particular reason. We want to do good deeds but only if we can tell others about it. We want all sorts of ideals, not for their own sake, but rather for the sake of appearances. We don’t want knowledge; we want to show others we have knowledge.”
Cic Mellace, The Humble Good: A Novel

Cic Mellace
“We sit here and we talk about sports. We talk about our home improvement projects. We gossip about family members we don’t care about. We self-victimize and complain about petty problems we've created ourselves. We work like dogs to keep up with the Joneses but have no time to enjoy the things we work for. We work purposeless jobs that keep us mildly happy, never really enjoying what we do, but we also never get the balls to leave the job. We drink on the weekends to numb the pain but it never really cures it. We criticize anyone who tries to break away from the rat race, because the idea that there is a way out scares us more than dying in the state we’re in. We only give to causes that affect us personally, only follow religions that suit us, only listen to people who agree with us, and worst of all,” he paused, and in a sad, defeated finale to his rant, he said, “We lie to ourselves.”
Cic Mellace, The Humble Good: A Novel

L.P. Hartley
“How is it, she asked herself, that every experience I have now turns to happiness — even this unhopeful one of trying to make Leadbitter enjoy the transepts? Am I entitled to it? Would Philip mind, that I can think of him and not grieve for him? Have I become heartless? Am I wicked? Is this euphoria as groundless as my depression was? — more groundless, since I then had something to feel depressed about and I have nothing, really, to feel happy about? Is it the conviction of well-being that sometimes goes before an illness?”
L.P. Hartley, The Hireling

“Someone can take away my job, but they can only take away my courage if I let them.”

Yong Kang Chan
“I had signed up for a lot of courses, but the biggest teacher is life. Perhaps we need to die multiple times in order to realize the true meaning of life. I’m grateful I died that day.”
Yong Kang Chan, The Emotional Gift: Memoir of a Highly Sensitive Person Who Overcame Depression

Kevin J. Estes
“Lost in a Medley of Medication,
Concentration’s constantly drifting.
Floating like confetti,
In celebration of my opposition,
Forcing me to watch the Imperfections of Love
being pinned into submission.”
Kevin J. Estes, Love Letters to Reality: The Señor Estes Experience

H.W. Fan
“And something strange happened. Energy coursed through his body making it seem lighter. Air flowed into his lungs in a cool, sweet stream.”
H.W. Fan, Mind Body Control

“There is a big war going on in far lands, big cruel inhuman war, war between the conscious and subconscious. The goods are brutally killed every day sometimes the bad. Both people are mine and I can only grief. No Matter who wins I Lose.”
Ratish Edwards

“When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be”
Paul James McCartney, John Winston Lennon

“Depression deprives you of a good many things on it's long, winding course and one of the first things it divests you of is your sense of self. For me, depression's finest feat was tricking me out of an identity...”
Shaheen Bhatt, I've never been (Un)happier

“لمَ اعد اعرف نفسي جيداً كأني صرت عن نفسي غريبَ في المرايا لا اراني بل ارئ جسداً يشبهني لكنه كئيب .”
فيصل الجبعاء , عني عن الليل

“In life when finding happiness I try to discover the true essence of gratitude and inner fulfillment.”
Angel Moreira

Melina Marchetta
“I look past them to where Will and his friends are sitting and he catches my eye for a moment and smiles. It’s a weird smile, but it reaches his eyes and I bottle it. And I put it in my ammo pack that’s kept right next to my soul. The one that holds Mia’s scent and Justine’s spirit and Siobhan’s hope and Tara’s passions. Because if I’m going to wake up one morning and not be able to get out of bed, I’m going to need everything I’ve got to fight this bastard of a disease that could be sleeping inside of me.”
Melina Marchetta, Saving Francesca

“I guess if you want a quick diagnosis then perhaps it's post traumatic stress disorder from having to be born here in the first place.”
Stephen Mullaney-Westwood, Paradise Shift

“By choosing to suppress your feelings you are creating depression for yourself.”
De philosopher DJ Kyos

“Hate, Jealousy and witchcraft is booming on social media platforms and has disguised itself as being savage or as black twitter. Where people bring down the ones who are making it and destroying their happiness and lives in the name of retweets and likes.”
De philosopher DJ Kyos
