My mental health problems are real and they are valid. I will not judge myself for the bad days when I can barely get out of bed. I will not make myself feel worse because someone else appears to be handling their mental illness better than I am handling mine. Recovery is not a competition.

Without suffering and doubts, the mind will come to rest on cliches and stay there, until the spirit dies as well.

Robert Greene

At some stages of your life you will deal with things and at others you are overwhelmed with misery and anxiety.

Nigella Lawson

Anger it's a paralyzing emotion you can't get anything done.

Toni Morrison

Overthinking is parasitic. It's viral. It's deadly, even. Letting yourself fall victim to overthinking doesn't just kill your happiness, it destroys who you are. The mind is a beautiful and complex thing, and the only person who can hurt it is yourself.

Genereux Philip

Recovery unfolds in three stages. The central task of the first stage is the establishment of safety. The central task of the second stage is remembrance and mourning. The central focus of the third stage is reconnection with ordinary life.
