— Don't you think you're depressed? — No, I'm Russian.

And suddenly the husband takes out a gun and shoots his wife and little daughter, right in front of him. The next day, the super cop can't get out of bed. Literally, his arms and legs didn't move. And so he just lay there until a brilliant insight came over him. Bad things happen. And while your job is to prevent them, sometimes you can't. All he could do was move on, day by day. It was all he had, all he could somehow… control. And what, he finally got out of bed? Yes, I got up. I got out of bed and went to work. And every day since then, I thank God for another day and pray that I don't waste it.

Sometimes it seems to me that we are all Prozac Nation in the United States of Depression.

Someone will say that we need to go further, but I can't. “You can not stop, even if the forces are exhausted. It’s so easy to sit in pain…”

Depression does not exist. This is self-indulgence. You inspire yourself with a bitter situation, a bitter state, you inspire yourself with destruction. You consciously suggest it to yourself, take it upon yourself and begin to play this role. You start to flirt and forget that this is a role. And turn everything into reality. These are all roles that people invent in their heads.

- Starting from scratch is not crazy. Madness is to lead a miserable life, to be in a dull stupor day after day, day after day. Madness is to pretend to be happy, to pretend that this is the strap you have to pull all your miserable life. All the hopes, all the possibilities, all the joy, all the feelings, all the juices that life has drunk from you.

I've experienced it myself: I just want to drop everything, go to bed at home and hear nothing. But, of course, nothing could be more stupid than this, and in bed you still will not have peace.

One does not argue about Good, one creates it! And then it is! And if you hang your nose and indulge in hypochondria, then, of course, then at least drown in the swamp from hopelessness!

My schedule for today is a six-hour depression with a beating of self-flagellation.

Anguish in depression is completely different. Desperate, alien, hostile, full of anger instead of sadness, tension instead of relaxation, diluted with melancholy and reflection.

It cannot be described and spoken, it is impossible to cry out with tears. Longing in depression has nothing to do with longing in nostalgia, except for the name.

„Do you know how many tears fit into a teaspoon? 127. I counted when I was depressed. I got curious and thought it was some kind of art project. I wanted to move somewhere, and not just cry. So I started crying into a spoon and counting the drops. 127. Be sure to write it down for yourself. 127.“

You don't need a license to commit suicide either, just depression and idiocy.

Strange, it was on such cloudy, cold days that I never had depression. In bad weather, I feel that nature seems to be in agreement with me, with what is in my soul. And vice versa - as soon as the sun appears, when children are playing on the streets, when everyone is enjoying a wonderful day, I feel terrible. Such is the injustice: all this magnificence is around - but there is no place for me in it.

Some people get depressed when they are angry. Depression is anger turned inward.

Depression has its charms: you have every right to behave like a bastard.

You are suffering. You smile at people, but your soul screams with grief that cannot be expressed. You simply have no one to tell it to, because for everyone else it will seem small and worthless. They also have loans, betrayals and losses of their favorite team ... In football or hockey, it's all so important! And here you are with your suffering, which cannot be explained properly.

If you stop pretending that everything is damn bad and there is no way out - and this is exactly what I convinced myself all the time - then it will not get better, on the contrary. Assuring yourself that life is shit, it’s like you are under anesthesia, and if you stop doing it, it becomes clear where it hurts and how badly, and again, it won’t get any better.

When emotions, feelings, anguish overwhelmed me, I pushed them inside me, being furious because I allowed them to come out. My internal dialogues were relentless: “You’re fine. You don't starve, no one beats you. Your parents are still alive. There is real grief in the world, and your problems are pitiful. You sad little cow."

„We color ourselves in our memories in a rainbow color. We imagine ourselves behaving better in the past, making better decisions, getting along better with people, and taking more credit for ourselves. We embellish ourselves as crazy, and then we can move forward and continue to live. And true memories would most likely just drive us into depression.“

Mornings are the worst time for depressed people.

Fall seven times. Get up eight.

I am a dead person. I wake up in the morning, and I unbearably want one thing - to sleep. I dress in black: I mourn for myself. Mourning for the man he didn't become.

Long live depression - the other side of joy!

They approach silently, threateningly, like secret agents, and surround me from two sides - Depression on the left, Loneliness on the right. I know these guys so well. Although, I confess, it was a surprise for me to meet them in a picturesque garden in Italy, at sunset. They don't belong here at all.

I never sympathized with androids. Maybe it's just depression, like you. Now I can understand how you suffer; I always thought that you like this state, I thought that you can get out of it, you just have to want to; if not by itself, then with the help of a modulator. Now I understand: when you're depressed, you don't give a damn about anything. Apathy caused by the fact that you have lost your sense of self-worth. It doesn't matter if you feel worse or better when you don't mean anything to yourself...

„Who can quarrel with Clark Gable? We got on well. Every time someone was tired or depressed on the set of Gone with the Wind, it was Gable who cheered that person up. Then the papers started saying that Gable and I didn't get along. It was so funny that we took it as a joke. Since then, our standard greeting has been: “How are you not getting along today?”

You yourself are part of the universe. You are part of it and have every right to participate in what is happening in the world and express your feelings. Express your opinion. State the problem. I guarantee you will at least be heard.

Antidepressants may have saved my life, but they only worked when combined with about twenty other treatments that I used at the same time to save myself—and I hope I never have to take those drugs again.

“My motto is to give a damn about everyone. I want to live the way I want, and not as the boring public tries to dictate to me.

Depression quotes ▷ Socratify.Net

See the people behind me? They rush to work, not paying attention to anything. Sometimes we get so bogged down in our daily responsibilities that we forget to enjoy the beauty of life. We are like zombies. Raise your eyes and take the earphones out of your ears. Say hello to someone you see. Hug someone if you think the person is in pain. Help someone. You have to live each day as if it were your last. One thing people don't know about me is that I had depression a couple of years ago. I never told anyone about her. I had to find my own way to overcome it. The person who did not let me be happy was ME. Every day is precious and let's treat them the same way. There is no guarantee that tomorrow will come, so live today!

And now I'm looking for an opportunity to get out of this wonderful, profitable, promising contract. And I break out. And the depression goes away.

Tell me how you feel.
- Everything is fine. If only a little depression.
- I see. What caused it?
- Probably because I started the Apocalypse.
- Apocalypse? Do you think you started it?
- Well, yes, you see, I killed the demon, Lilith, and accidentally released Lucifer from hell. Now he runs everything, and we want to pin him down.
- Who are we?
- Me and my brother. And another angel.
- Do you mean an angel? Shoulder?
- No, our name is Castiel, in a raincoat.
Dean joins the conversation:
— Well, you understand. The guy hasn't been himself for a month now. But he did not arrange the Apocalypse.
— Not him?
- No. There was just another demon, Ruby. She got him hooked on demon blood. He visibly clung to her. My brother did not wish evil. He was just stoned. Are you cutting? Heal him as soon as possible, otherwise we need to catch monsters all over the country.

Don't ask for anything, don't expect anything, and take everything calmly. I reason like this: “What people say or think about me is none of my business. I am who I am and I do what I do just for fun - that's how this game works. A wonderful game of life on its own field.
