Quotations about depression
It’s Hard. 13 Quotes that Illustrate Depression • Youth Dynamics
Depression is heavy. If you’ve experienced it, you know just how significant its weight can be—and bearing the burden of that load? Far too many will carry it silently due to shame and stigma. But that doesn’t need to be the case.
Surveys show that over 40% of Americans are grappling with depression or other related mental health symptoms right now. Really, a number that’s not surprising given the grief and trauma that’s affected so many of us over the past year.
That said, it’s about time we start a conversation on the topic. We can save lives by making it easier for those suffering to reach out for help.
So, without further ado. Here are thirteen of our best quotes to raise awareness and illustrate depression.
Quote 1: A human being can survive almost anything as long as she sees the end in sight. But depression is so insidious, and it compounds daily, that it’s impossible to ever see the end. – Elizabeth Wurtzel
Quote 2: It’s so difficult to describe depression to someone who’s never been there because it’s not sadness. -J.K. Rowling
Quote 3: People think depression is sadness. That it’s crying and dressing in black, but people are wrong. Depression is the constant feeling of being numb. It’s being numb to emotions, being numb to life. You wake up in the morning just to go back to bed again. – Unknown
Quote 4: You don’t understand depression until you can’t stand your own presence in an empty room. – Unknown.
Quote 5: Having anxiety and depression is like being scared and tired at the same time. It’s the fear of failure but no urge to be productive. It’s wanting friends but hating to socialize. It’s wanting to be alone but not wanting to be lonely. It’s caring about everything, then caring about nothing. It’s feeling everything at once, then feeling paralyzingly numb. – Unknown
Quote 6: If you feel everything intensely, ultimately, you feel nothing at all. – Elizabeth Wurtzel
Quote 7: There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than anything that bleeds. – Laurell K. Hamilton
Quote 8: Depression is like a heavy blanket. It covers all of me, and it’s hard to get up. But there’s comfort in it too. I know who I am when I’m under it. – Unknown
Quote 9: I wanted to talk about it. Damn it. I wanted to scream. I wanted to yell. I wanted to shout about it. But all I could do was whisper, “I’m fine.” – Unknown.
Quote 10: Sometimes, all you can do is lie in bed and hope to fall asleep before you fall apart. – William C. Hannan
Quote 11: Depression is living in a body that fights to survive, with a mind that tries to die. – Unknown
Quote 12: It’s not always the tears that measure the pain.
Sometimes it’s the smile we fake. – Unknown
Quote 13: I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy because they know what it’s like to feel absolutely worthless, and they don’t want anyone else to feel like that. – Robin Williams

Depression Quotes That Capture What You're Feeling
You'll laugh. You'll cry. And then hopefully you'll feel just a little bit less alone in your struggles.
“Depression doesn’t heal itself and there is no ‘cure,’ which is why ongoing treatment is so important,” says Hanna Simmons, PhD, a clinical psychologist and therapist in Denver, Colorado. “Don’t blame yourself for your mental illness—there are many reasons that it strikes, including trauma, a genetic predisposition, as a side effect of other health conditions, or for no clear reason at all. But focus on doing things that help you feel better and keep moving forward in your life.”
This can include seeking professional help from a psychotherapist or getting medication. There are also lifestyle changes—like getting enough sleep, adopting a meditation practice, spending time in nature, and going for a walk. (Here’s why health and psychology professionals say walking is one of the best exercises.)
Another thing that can help? Reading quotes about depression. Depression quotes can help you realize that others can relate to the way you feel… and they may even help brighten things up a bit.

“Being sad and being depressed are two different things. Also, people going through depression don’t look so, while someone sad will look sad. The most common reaction is, ‘How can you be depressed?

Hello darkness, my old friend…
“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 lungs.

It’s past time to ditch the stigma about depression
“Whether an illness affects your heart, your arm, or your brain, it’s still an illness, and there shouldn’t be any distinction. We would never tell someone with a broken leg that they should stop wallowing and get it together. We don’t consider taking medication for an ear infection something to be ashamed of. We shouldn’t treat mental health conditions any differently. Instead, we should make it clear that getting help isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a sign of strength—and we should ensure that people can get the treatment they need.” —Michelle Obama, former First Lady of the United States

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! nine0003

Your amazing brain can take you from poverty to riches, turn you from a loner to everyone's favorite, lift you out of depression, making you happy and joyful - if you use it correctly.
© Brian Tracy, 27 quotes
Depression is like a lack of values. An inner void with nothing to fill. This is not fear, but the absence of something important in your life. There is no joy, there is only heaviness from such an existence. This happens when a person has too little love, interest, relationships in life. It is a hunger for values. When the feeling of hunger grows to insatiable, depression sets in. nine0003

I worked at the circus du Soleil. This is the best circus in the world. And I am the star of the great circus. This is touring in New York. And I'm the main character. A dream, the pinnacle of a career... And I'm bored. Not interested. Unfortunately. Why? And creativity is over.
I repeat the same thing every day. There is no development. They do not allow to develop, because the formula for commercial success is consolidation and repetition. And I get depressed. Something is wrong. I am not there. The depression lasts for several months - terrible, severe . .. Although everything is perfect, everyone loves me, they carry me in their arms! 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. nine0015 That is, you need to understand what exactly and in what place is wrong - this time. And to find the strength in yourself to take a step out of this place is two. And it always hurts a lot. Very difficult. And absolutely necessary.

Psychiatrist:
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? nine0015 - 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 the angel? Shoulder?
- No, our name is Castiel, in a raincoat.
Dean enters 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. nine0003

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. There is nothing to gain and nothing to lose, there is nothing to prove. No need to turn inside out - for what? Because I am essentially a nobody and always have been a nobody. ” This came to me about ten years ago during a deep depression when I was sitting in a Roman hotel. I repeated it to myself like a spell. Since then, many amazing things have happened in my life. nine0003

Yesterday I got depressed
Hanging curtains gray
And ignited black thoughts.
And I did not drive the vile scoundrel,
I was all beaming, her beckoning,
And with an offended muzzle
She left me.

In principle, all nations passed through this stage. When you had already done everything, when the period of satiety began, depression began, degeneration began. All these transgender toilets, same-sex marriages, all these utter nonsense with humanism that turns into its opposite... And where is the most antidepressants consumed? Most antidepressants are consumed in the most prosperous countries. So here we are, where this well-being is still far away - there is something to "gnaw out".

Well, just sit there, sucking longing out of your finger to justify laziness, overgrow with apathy. And such class irreconcilability bubbles between who you are and who you could become.
