Depression Quotes

Calling someone 'high-functioning' discounts and dismisses their needs and struggles and contributes to arrogance and ignorance… Calling someone 'low-functioning' discounts and dismisses their strengths and capabilities and contributes to their depression and oppression.

No matter how big a nation is, it is no stronger than its weakest people, and as long as you keep a person down, some part of you has to be down there to hold him down, so it means you cannot soar as you might otherwise.

Marian Anderson

Depression lies. It tells you you've always felt this way, and you always will. But you haven't, and you won't.

I have never seen battles quite as terrifyingly beautiful as the ones I fight when my mind splinters and races, to swallow me into my own madness, again.

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.

Matt Joseph Diaz

You don't have to live a lie. Living a lie will mess you up. It will send you into depression. It will warp your values.
