Andy Behrman Quotes

As no one knew much about my mental illness, a lot of people had the attitude that I had the capability to ‘kick it’ and get better instantly. This was the most frustrating attitude for me Picture Quote #1
The little depression I experienced during my manic-depression was not like depression as anyone else had ever described it. It was very violent and angry, and I was full of rage. I wasnt lying in bed Picture Quote #1
People accuse me of glamorizing mental illness. Looking back sometimes, that’s true. But I don’t feel guilty Picture Quote #1
After graduation in June of 1984, I moved to Manhattan. My first stop was a psychiatrist, who in less than our first fifty-minute session again diagnosed me with depression Picture Quote #1
Manic depression is a type of depression, technically, and it’s the opposite of uni-polar. Manic depression is also called bi-polar disorder. Some people don’t like to call it that because they think it makes it sound too nice, when the reality is if you have manic-depression you have manic-depression Picture Quote #1
In total, I was diagnosed with depression by eight psychotherapists and psychiatrists over a period of thirteen years. Diagnosed wrong. Absolutely wrong. My accurate diagnosis was manic depression, or what we call bipolar disorder today Picture Quote #1

I couldn’t sleep for nights on end, as my brain felt like there were thoughts colliding within it; I obsessed over small details, from saving pennies and polishing each one of them to washing my clothing over and over in the washing machine Picture Quote #1
My eating habits are the only behaviour of mine that are still manic. I can’t walk by a restaurant, a bakery, an ice-cream store or a candy store without making a purchase; the amount of calories I take in today are at least five times as many as I took before starting on all of this medication Picture Quote #1
My illness is one often characterized by dramatic overspending - in my case through frenzied shopping sprees, credit card abuse, excessive hoarding of unnecessary material goods and bizarre generosity with family, friends and even strangers Picture Quote #1
Money is a huge issue for manic depressives. Sometimes the problem is not nearly on the same scale as it has been for me, but nonetheless, it’s difficult to deal with. Many get themselves into debt that can take years to clear up, write bad cheques, shoplift and borrow huge amounts from family and friends Picture Quote #1
My ever-present mania meant I was never phased by staying up twenty hours a day or by the different time zones. I was Superman Picture Quote #1
Most nights, I’m good for only four or five hours of sleep. That leaves the other 20. I have to fill them some way Picture Quote #1

The guilt I felt for having a mental illness was horrible. I prayed for a broken bone that would heal in six weeks. But that never happened. I was cursed with an illness that nobody could see and nobody knew much about Picture Quote #1
When I’m manic, I’m so awake and alert, that my eyelashes fluttering on the pillow sound like thunder Picture Quote #1
My manic depression was ravaging my life, but because nobody could see it, many people thought it was a figment of my imagination Picture Quote #1
