Depressive quotes - a collection of the best quotes

It is extremely unpleasant to feel empty in the soul, to see only gray colors and not notice all the beauty of the surrounding world. The feeling of emptiness, the lack of desire to do at least something eventually develops into a depressive state. To get out of this state, you need to occupy yourself with something, and since you don’t want to do anything, you get some kind of vicious circle. Depressive quotes.

This state is probably familiar to almost any person. That is why different statuses about depression were invented, which allow you to express your feelings. Read more: Quotes from Harry Potter.

Very often we confuse depression with an ordinary melancholy state. Although, in fact, the difference between these two states is huge. People with asthenic syndrome and vegetative-vascular dystonia, or those who have depression every season, are susceptible to depression.

But a slight state of depression can appear even in people who do not complain of any diseases. Melancholia will not entail any serious consequences, especially if a person takes vitamins, spends more time in the fresh air, has enough rest and spends time with loved ones. And let the quotes about depression, about a bad mood, about apathy let you know that being sad is not interesting.

Janusz Leon Wisniewski

Autumn weather is unstable. We have the same unstable mood at this time of the year. Quotes about depression should help to understand that this problem affects many people and that it can be solved. And how to decide - psychologists will tell you. For example, they believe that in order to forget about the blues, you need not just pull yourself together, but be patient, tune in to the positive.

Our body has great adaptive capabilities - you just need to help it. A contrast shower, hiking, exercise, being outdoors, good sleep and proper nutrition will help overcome autumn depression.

Quotes about blues and depression

Sometimes what is called depression is actually a feeling of dissatisfaction caused by exorbitant demands on oneself or the expectation of special, undeserved life blessings.
Mitch Albom

Being depressed is like wearing a weighted vest.
Neil Brennan

When you're tired of everything, you're boring yourself.

Boris Akunin

Good music is the best pill for depression.
Andrey Vavilin

Any depression should be met with a smile. Depression will think you're an idiot and run away.
Robert de Niro

Depression is a puzzle. In the literal and figurative sense of the word. We react to life's troubles, experience stress - severe and sudden, or outwardly insignificant, but very long, and as a result, the capabilities of our brain are depleted. After the weakened brain begins to fall into stress from any nonsense, and its condition worsens further. Ultimately, a vicious circle is obtained.
Andrey Kurpatov

And, of course, we wish that quotes about depression remain quotes, and do not turn into reality.

It is extremely unpleasant to feel emptiness in the soul, to see only gray colors and not notice all the beauty of the surrounding world. The feeling of emptiness, the lack of desire to do at least something eventually develops into a depressive state. To get out of this state, you need to occupy yourself with something, and since you don’t want to do anything, you get some kind of vicious circle.

Probably, such a state is familiar to almost any person. That is why different statuses about depression were invented, which allow you to express your feelings.

I like to spend time with smart interesting people, so the best company for me is myself.

Single people find it unpleasant to hear stories about happy couples. This is unfair. It's like dragging a case of beer to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.

35 quotes about depression that can help you finally calm down (and understand that you are not alone)

Statements of people who have understood what depression is on their own

The word "depression" is familiar to every modern person. Some believe that those who suffer from foolishness and only want to attract increased attention to themselves suffer from this. However, everything is far from being so primitive.

According to Hannah Simmons, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist and therapist in Denver, Colorado, this mental illness can be caused by a genetic predisposition, trauma, a side effect of other health conditions, or a completely misunderstood etiology, so don't twist finger to the temple when someone says they are depressed. Believe me, this is not a whim and not a fool. Everything is much more serious. What's more, as Hannah Simmons says, "Depression doesn't cure itself and there is no 'cure', which is why ongoing treatment is so important."

How to help someone who has fallen into this state and cannot get out of it? First of all, seek help from a specialist who will prescribe adequate treatment. Plus, you should change your lifestyle: walk more (by the way, health and psychology experts say that walking is one of the best exercises), get enough sleep, meditate ...

Well, read quotes about depression to understand what people are experiencing, under her yoke. And for those who know firsthand what it is, these statements may give strength in the fight against longing and indifference. The main thing, although it is not easy, is to try not to give up, but to climb with all your might from the quagmire of darkness to the light of life. Because if others can, then you can too.

“People who have never experienced depression think it's just sadness or a bad mood. For me, it's not depression; it is falling into a state of dullness and stupor. - Dan Reynolds, Imagine Dragons

3. If you can't trust yourself, trust your loved ones
