“Some days, I feel everything at once. Other days, I feel nothing at all. I don’t know what’s worse: drowning beneath the waves or dying from the thirst.”
When you don’t like yourself you don’t notice anything. You don’t care about what people think of you. When you hate yourself, whatever people say it doesn’t make sense. ‘Why do they like me? Why do they care about me?’ Because you don’t care about yourself at all.
“ …unfortunately, we live in a world where if you break your arm, everyone runs over to sign your cast, but if you tell people you’re depressed, everyone runs the other way. That’s the stigma. We are so, so, so accepting of any body part breaking down, other than our brains. And that’s ignorance. That’s pure ignorance. And that ignorance has created a world that doesn’t understand depression, that doesn’t understand mental health. “
If you break someone and they still wish you the best, you’ve lost the greatest thing for you.
Sometimes doing what benefits you is the hardest thing to do.
Going to sleep with a negative mood is a sure-fire way to wake up wanting to kill myself.
