Text Quotes
If ever we needed in this country to adopt a new attitude towards homosexuality, this is the time. Instead of treating it as a crime, and driving it underground, we ought to recognize it for what it is: it’s a mental illness, it’s a psychiatric condition which ought to be treated sympathetically by psychiatrists and social workers (Illness Quotes)
My daughter, unfortunately, is ill, because drug addiction is an illness. She’s been fighting it for years (Illness Quotes)
I fight pain, anxiety, and fear every day, and the only method I have found that relieves my illness is to keep creating art. I followed the thread of art and somehow discovered a path that would allow me to live (Illness Quotes)
Any illness is a direct message to you that tells you how you have not been loving who you are, cherishing yourself in order to be who you are. This is the basis of all healing (Illness Quotes)
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 (Illness Quotes)
Occupying my mind with complex problems has been my best and most powerful and most reliable defense against my mental illness (Illness Quotes)
So, because I have a mental illness I should disappear and hide? Ever since I went into hospital, all I have heard and read about is people telling me what they think I should do (Illness Quotes)
I want to live fully, very intensely. I would never want to live partially, suffering from illness or injury. If I ever happen to have an accident that eventually costs my life, I hope it happens in one instant (Illness Quotes)
I’ve seen people recover physical abilities, yet never get over emotional trauma after a serious accident. I’ve seen other people overcome the psychological and emotional trauma of a serious illness even though they may never fully regain their physical capabilities. Which is the greater healing? Which is the better recovery? If I had the option of choosing between a mediocre life with eyesight or the life I have today, even though I am blind, I’d stay blind and keep the life I have (Illness Quotes)
No one would ever say that someone with a broken arm or a broken leg is less than a whole person, but people say that or imply that all the time about people with mental illness (Illness Quotes)
The concept of recovery is rooted in the simple yet profound realization that people who have been diagnosed with mental illness are human beings (Illness Quotes)
We share in the certainty that people labeled with mental illness are first and above all, human beings. Our lives are precious and are of infinite value (Illness Quotes)
We are a conspiracy of hope and we are pressing back against the strong tide of oppression which for centuries has been the legacy of those of us who are labelled with mental illness. We are refusing to reduce human beings to illnesses (Illness Quotes)
While obsession with one’s personal appearance is a sign of being a vacant prat, total oblivion to it is a sign of mental illness (Illness Quotes)
Every effective drug provokes in the human body a sort of disease of its own, and the stronger the drug, the more characteristic, and the more marked and more violent the disease. We should imitate nature, which sometimes cures a chronic affliction with another supervening disease, and prescribe for the illness we wish to cure, especially if chronic, a drug with power to provoke another, artificial disease, as similar as possible, and the former disease will be cured: fight like with like (Illness Quotes)
Woe to those who lead idle lives. Idleness is a dreadful illness and must be cured in childhood. If it is not cured then, it can never be cured (Illness Quotes)
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 (Illness Quotes)
Fixing is the illness model; acceptance is the identity model; which way any family goes reflects their assumptions and resources (Illness Quotes)
It’s been an incredible odyssey to make the journey from a vibrantly healthy person to someone with a chronic illness (Illness Quotes)
A delusion held by one person is a mental illness, held by a few is a cult, held by many is a religion (Illness Quotes)
There is a very close connection between being a doctor and a politician. The doctor tries to prevent illness, then tries to treat it if it comes. It’s exactly the same as what you try to do as a politician, but with regard to society (Illness Quotes)
If you want to treat an illness that has no easy cure, first of all, treat them with hope (Illness Quotes)
Much has been said about the meanings we make of illness, but what about the meanings we make out of cure? Cure is complex, disorienting, a revisioning of the self, either subtle or stark. Cure is the new, strange planet, pressing in. The doctor could not have known. And that made me, as it does every patient, only more alone (Illness Quotes)
A sacred illness is one that educates us and alters us from the inside out, provides experiences and therefore knowledge that we could not possibly achieve in any other way, and aligns us with a life path that is, ultimately, of benefit to ourselves and those around us (Illness Quotes)
The worse illness of our time, is that so many people have to suffer from never being loved (Illness Quotes)
Keep me rather in this cage, and feed me sparingly, if you dare. Anything that brings me closer to illness and the edge of death makes me more faithful. It is only when you make me suffer that I feel safe and secure. You should never have agreed to be a God for me if you were afraid to assume the duties of a God, and we know that they are not as tender as all that. You have already seen me cry. Now you must learn to relish my tears (Illness Quotes)
A diet rich in fruits and vegetables plays a role in reducing the risk of all the major causes of illness and death (Illness Quotes)
I decided to shift my energy and concentration into changing my lifestyle and diet and taking charge of my own illness (Illness Quotes)
Nothing seems real anymore. Even the flames from the fire seem to beckon to me, drawing me into some great past life buried somewhere deep in my subconscious, if only I could find the key.. if only.. if only. Ever since my illness, my condition, I’ve been trying to find some logical way of passing my time, of justifying a means to an end (Illness Quotes)
At your next dinner party, try playing the following game. Challenge everyone around the table to produce a single drug that can cure people of an illness, other then antibiotics. If you come up with anything, stop whatever you are doing and call me (Illness Quotes)
