    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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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!

  4. I love being able to see that others can relate to how I’ve felt and am feeling. These quotes are all so great.

  5. Bright snow Loveland

    Depression is a very bad thing for our soul. Am really inspired by your quotes. Thanks for sharing.

  6. The one by Kaur is so important. Life is mental. It’s all about the way we use our minds to achieve and overcome. I am currently battling depression since losing my mom last year but I’m holding on to faith that things WILL be better. “The way you speak of yourself, the way you degrade yourself, into smallness is abuse.” – RUPI KAUR

  7. All quotes are good! And yeah being in this kind of feeling wasn’t easy and lack of support and understanding from others made it even harder.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

    I love this. Anything that helps to raise mental health awareness gets a big thumbs up from me for sure xx

  22. I’m loving these! For me, the one that resonated the most is inactivity being the enemy. I feel like if I don’t have something to do, that is when the depression sets in.

  23. 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.

  24. Depression reminds me of hibernation – people just wait for the “winter” to pass. If you suffer from depression just remember that “warm clothes” and a glass of wine with someone you love can be very helpful too.

    Thanks for sharing this. Pausing to take stock and think about our motivation for doing things is so important. This was a great read, thanks

  39. 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.

  40. These quotes are all so different, but so real. People who struggle with depression feel it in such different ways.

  41. As someone who suffers with chronic depression myself, it’s important to see quotes that can help people who do not experience it first-hand (in order for them to better understand what it’s like).

  42. Depression is such a hard thing to combat, and these quotes are so brilliant. My favourite is the Lady Gaga one about your talents just being harder to find; I really resonate with that
