It’s easier to run Replacing this pain with something numb It’s so much easier to go Than face all this pain here all alone.
Memories consume Like opening the wound I’m picking me apart again You all assume I’m safe here in my room Unless I try to start again.
Don’t want to reach for me, do you? I mean nothing to you, the little things give you away.
And when you’re feeling empty, keep me in your memory. Leave out all the rest, leave out all the rest.
The Christian life is not a constant high. I have my moments of deep discouragement. I have to go to God in prayer with tears in my eyes, and say, ‘O God, forgive me,’ or ‘Help me.’
Storms make trees take deeper roots.
People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.
Learned helplessness is the giving-up reaction, the quitting response that follows from the belief that whatever you do doesn’t matter.
Show me a sane man and I will cure him for you.
I let go. Lost in oblivion. Dark and silent and complete. I found freedom. Losing all hope was freedom.
Our Generation has had no Great war, no Great Depression. Our war is spiritual. Our depression is our lives.
No matter what you’re going through, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel and it may seem hard to get to it but you can do it and just keep working towards it and you’ll find the positive side of things.
Nothing is more beautiful than a smile that has struggled through tears.
Bipolar depression really got my life off track, but today I’m proud to say I am living proof that someone can live, love, and be well with bipolar disorder when they get the education, support and treatment they need.
Deep in earth my love is lying And I must weep alone.
I am stronger than depression and I am braver than loneliness and nothing will ever exhaust me.
I have the true feeling of myself only when I am unbearably unhappy.
I have spent all my life resisting the desire to end it.
There are times when I am convinced I am unfit for any human relationship.
Suffering is the positive element in this world, indeed it is the only link between this world and the positive.
