"Depression is not wanting to die but wishing you were never born"
"Depression is being colorblind and constantly told how colorful the world is." - Atticus
"Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: It is easier to say "my tooth is aching" than to say "my heart is broken." C.S. Lewis
"When my mum asks "Are You okay?" I always reply "I'm tired" because I don't wanna tell the woman who gave me my life that I don't want it anymore."
