These quotes really reflect how depression is. I know, I am in that boat. I try to keep myself busy (to the point of exhaustion) so that I can keep all those negative thoughts away. Thanks for collating these quotes. My favorite is the one from Keanu Reeves.
I totally agree this this. So helpful!
6,7 and 8 are my favorite
I like #4: Once you choose hope, everything is possible. I choose to feel happy thoughts (even though it’s hard this period) and I know it’s a privilege that I can choose to feel happy feelings.
These quotes provide some great perspective. Thanks for sharing!
Simplicity, joy and serenity in life is in my opinion in simple things. In the elasticity in which we face an unexpected situation, the mood in the face of a difficulty and how we do not mess up the mind with thoughts, doubts or questions. Great inspirations with this quotes!
Great quotes. It’s good to have reminders that hope can come from depression.
I like number 3. Sometimes we don’t appreciate how long it may take to heal from a traumatic event. I also love number 12.
You are so right about the length of time necessary for healing!

Most of the people do not believe in depression and I find this dangerous.
Depression is dangerous that’s why we must be conscious and love those people who are suffering with it. Thanks for this great information!
I recently wrote #14 in my journal. So much truth behind that one. Gotta take it one day at a time though
These are really wonderful – I love the one about it takes time to heal because it’s soooo true!
These quotes are great, as someone who has dealt with depression 6 and 7 are easily my favorite.
Going though depression is a hard battle that to many people fight every day, I think doing what you are doing right now, talking about it, really helps to raise awareness. Thank you!

These are awesome quotes. I especially love 3 and 9. We must heal on our own time and not what others think is enough time. And we need to keep our brains and bodies healthily engaged to prevent depression from sneaking in.
This is a nice collection of quotes. I have always believed that it is okay to accept that we are vulnerable and being able to admit that we are hurt and still healing is just brave. Love this quote from Alison Malee.
Nice quotes that depict well depression. I’ve been through one and it’s not easy.

Negative self image inflicted by abuse of others is a cause of depression.

The most true comment here is the one about when people don’t understand depression they become judgmental towards those that experience it. We need to be empathetic toward everyone we meet because we never know what they are really going through.

11 and 14 really hit me hard. You don’t see how the way you talk to yourself is a form of abuse. If you wouldn’t let someone else talk to you like that, why would you let yourself?

I like the Lady Gaga quote. Depression doesn’t take away your gifts and talents, but they can be buried a little deeper. There’s hope though–those unique traits are still there and can be brought back to the surface.
Great quotes. Depression is a lot more than people think it is. Surprisingly, I wrote about it too. I detailed the thoughts that go on in a depressed person’s mind. It’s a terrible feeling.
These quotes are all so different, but so real. People who struggle with depression feel it in such different ways.
