My illness is excruciating and difficult to cope with. It takes over your entire life and causes more suffering than I can describe.

Illness transforms the things you most fear into the things you crave and would hold onto if you could.

Any other illness, any other disease that we're faced with, there's sympathy and understanding. We get help for those. With mental illness, our go-to is to categorize them as, 'Oh, they're crazy,' to belittle the problem.

I tell you, in this world, being a little crazy helps to keep you sane.

An illness is like a journey into a far country; it sifts all one's experience and removes it to a point so remote that it appears like a vision.

I may be crazy, but it keeps me from going insane.

I had every stress-related illness you can get.

I have a disease, but I also have a lot of other things.

Serious illness doesn't bother me for long because I am too inhospitable a host.
