Quote

I still get awful depression. It's who I am.

I've definitely had times in my life where I've been depressed and not able to do anything at all.

I have suffered from depression for most of my life. It is an illness.

Perhaps the saddest irony of depression is that suicide happens when the patient gets a little better and can again function sufficiently.

Depression isn't about, 'Woe is me, my life is this, that and the other', it's like having the worst flu all day that you just can't kick.

Yes, I suffer terribly from depression. I have to work at being happy, it's not my natural instinct. My natural instinct is, if something wonderful happens, to throw water in my own face.

My own life was filled with so much love and joy that when depression struck, it was like a prison door slamming shut and I was being placed in an isolation cell. No one else could possibly be feeling what I was. I hated my depression and all of its symptoms.

Depression is when you have lots of love, but no one's taking.

Depression is a horrible, potentially life-threatening illness - but the lives it threatens are almost always those of the people who suffer from it.
