Depression Quotes

A stroke is a very difficult thing. You get depressed... What I found was this: the cure for depression is to think of others, to do for others. You can always find something to be grateful for Picture Quote #1

If creative work protects a man against mental illness, it is small wonder that he pursues it with avidity; and even if the state of mind he is seeking to avoid is no more than a mild state of depression or apathy, this still constitutes a cogent reason for engaging in creative work even when it brings no obvious external benefit in its train Picture Quote #1

After an hour or two of being socially on, we introverts need to turn off and recharge... This isn’t antisocial. It isn’t a sign of depression Picture Quote #1

I have not been an easygoing guy. I think it’s called bipolar manic depression. I’ve got a rich history of that in my family Picture Quote #1

A large proportion of my best friends are a little bit crazy... I try to be cautious with my friends who are too sane. Depression is itself destructive, and it breeds destructive impulses: I am easily disappointed in people who don’t get it Picture Quote #1

Rituals, even unhappy ones, provide a measure of comfort. Like a superstitious ballplayer who will only use certain bats, my depression rituals have become a fixed, normal part of my life... I need rituals to prevent unnecessarily rocking my already shaky emotional boat Picture Quote #1

Each sporadic burst of work, each minor success and disappointment, each moment of calm and relaxation, seemed merely a temporary halt on my steady descent through layer after layer of depression, like an elevator stopping for a moment on the way down to the basement Picture Quote #1

I’d been depressed before, of course. But I’m talking about really depressed. Not just feeling a bit down or sad, a depression that has something to do with biorhythms. I’m talking about the kind of depressed that floats in upon you like a fog. You can feel it coming and you can see where it is going to take you but you are powerless, utterly powerless to stop it. I know now Picture Quote #1

Are psychiatric crises so overwhelming to the mind that they inhibit the presence of ethics? Is depression at root an amoral phenomenon, its focus on the self preventing any other from really counting? Perhaps. Sometimes. Sometimes, even when we are two we are really only one; we can feel nothing but our own bones, our own difficult breaths Picture Quote #1

My mind was bursting with depression and anguish. I muttered imprecations and murmuring as I passed along. I was full of loathing and abhorrence of life, and all that life carries in its train Picture Quote #1

During depression the world disappears. Language itself. One has nothing to say. Nothing. No small talk, no anecdotes. Nothing can be risked on the board of talk. Because the inner voice is so urgent in its own discourse: How shall I live? How shall I manage the future? Why should I go on? Picture Quote #1

Mild depression is a gradual and sometimes permanent thing that undermines people the way rust weakens iron... Like physical pain that becomes chronic, it is miserable not so much because it is intolerable in the moment as because it is intolerable to have known it in the moments gone and to look forward only to knowing it in the moments to come Picture Quote #1

I hated being depressed, but it was also in depression that I learned my own acreage, the full extent of my soul Picture Quote #1

I’ve learned what I can control is whether I am going to live a day in fear and depression and panic, or whether I am going to attack the day and make it as good a day, as wonderful a day, as I can Picture Quote #1

People look for patterns in everything. It’s what keeps us sane, I suppose. I struggle to see any patterns in my life. I think I can understand depression a bit because of my sister. My own feelings of... I’m aware that, if you feel down, it can be strangely unrelated to circumstances around you. That’s just the way life is Picture Quote #1

Depression is something that seems really obscure when you see it in a theater, but when you talk to people who come to see it and hear their reactions, you realize that it is such a prevalent part of life and our society today that it really needed to be told, and still needs to be told Picture Quote #1

I finally came to terms with manic depression and lithium. I’ve taken lithium regularly for the past few years and have had no further bouts with manic depression Picture Quote #1

I inherited depression from my mother’s side of the family. Her father committed suicide. She committed suicide the year before I went to the moon Picture Quote #1

He wondered if this was what clinical depression felt like, a total numbness, a weary lack of hope Picture Quote #1

With depression, you can go in and out of it and not really know whether it’s still there or not. Sometimes I’d find myself bursting into tears for no reason Picture Quote #1

There are no windows within the dark house of depression through which to see others, only mirrors Picture Quote #1

It is important not to suppress your feelings altogether when you are depressed. It is equally important to avoid terrible arguments or expressions of outrage. You should steer clear of emotionally damaging behavior. People forgive, but it is best not to stir things up to the point at which forgiveness is required. When you are depressed, you need the love of other people, and yet depression fosters actions that destroy that love. Depressed people often stick pins into their own life rafts. The conscious mind can intervene. One is not helpless Picture Quote #1

You can be healed of depression if every day you begin the first thing in the morning to consider how you will bring a real joy to someone else Picture Quote #1

Because that’s the thing about depression. When I feel it deeply, I don’t want to let it go. It becomes a comfort. I want to cloak myself under its heavy weight and breathe it into my lunges. I want to nurture it, grow it, cultivate it. It’s mine. I want to check out with it, drift asleep wrapped in its arms and not wake up for a long, long time Picture Quote #1

They always call depression the blues, but I would have been happy to waken to a periwinkle outlook. Depression to me is urine yellow, washed out, exhausted miles of weak piss Picture Quote #1

The most important thing to remember about depression is this: you do not get the time back. It is not tacked on at the end of your life to make up for the disaster years. Whatever time is eaten by a depression is gone forever. The minutes that are ticking by as you experience the illness are minutes you will not know again Picture Quote #1

The opposite of depression is not happiness, but vitality, and it was vitality that seemed to seep away from me in that moment Picture Quote #1

Depression is the flaw in love. There’s no such thing as love without the anticipation of loss. And that specter of despair can be the engine of intimacy Picture Quote #1

Women who put on a few pounds after starting lithium sometimes say the cure is worse than the disease. The weight gain shoots them straight into depression Picture Quote #1

I’m not a person who goes into a deep depression after a defeat. I try to remain reasonably upbeat. I’m realistic enough to know that results of football matches are often unpredictable and, when all is said and done, things don’t always work out as one would wish! Picture Quote #1
