Quotes For Depression Novels & Stories

I want to quote Hazel Grace Lancaster, the main character of the famous book The Fault in Our Stars by John Greene, when she said that "depression is the side effect of dying". Indeed it is. My aunt wasn't literally on the brink of death. But ever since Allen had died, she appeared to be so every day. I want to mention another quote I saw on the internet. It was something about being sad, and it goes, "Suicide doesn't kill people, sadness does".

(Asher’s POV) I took a long cold shower while tuning a loud uplifting music—a routine I would always do when I’m down. My mother said that feeling depressed and anxious is okay, it was a sign that you’re thinking about your well-being, but the moment it passed the threshold where it’s supposed to be and started devouring your mentality, that was when you should put it to a stop. Because of that, cold shower and uplifting music are my muse to put a halt to these depressing feelings.

The doctor didn't know much about Zoey's situation, so he could only offer some basic professional advice. "Depression deeply affects the patient's life because they cannot control their emotions. Sometimes, they could be overcome by urges to do something extreme. However, if the patient is willing to accept treatment and take medication, it shows hope that their condition isn't that serious—it is a sign that they're seeking help. But you have to be very alert to their emotions no matter what."

"Yes, Perer. If you would mind telling me, please do." "Today, I thought about my depression and how it has been eating me slowly. Do you know what depression is?" "Yes I do," the therapist replied. "Well," I continued. "My depression has been feeding on me slowly. It has taken total control of my body and it is washing me away. Today, I heard the sound of the drum in my bedroom. The sound was not sharp neither was it clear. It was just there. It was from the sound of the drum that I learnt how long it takes for someone to die before he realize he is dead."

"I will talk to my son once we leave. Please." "Okay. But don't take it all down on yourself. Otherwise, it will get worse." "Okay. Shall we go now?" "I have prescribed some poultice for your heart attacks and concoctions for your stomach bloats." "Stomach bloats and heart attacks? You said you found nothing!" "Well, those are the early effects of depression. You need to hold it together, boy. Apply the poultice around your heart when you feel burnt up with emotions, take the concoction twice a day for your stomach, and stop worrying too much."

I answered. “Well, I don't think that's a reason to almost drown yourself, life is beyond this. I can see that man has the hots for you even if he doesn't know, he feels something for you, that's a start. Whenever you feel depressed, take his card and go on a shopping fee instead of drowning in sorrows and wanting to end your life.” She advised, my eyes popped out and almost unhinged itself from the socket.

"Depression is a mood or emotional state that is marked by feelings of low self-worth or guilt and a reduced ability to enjoy life." I blinked and lowered down my gaze to my wrist which was covered by the sleeve of my jacket. Good thing that it's rainy day. "Ma'am why do depressed people harm themselves?" I stopped taking notes and look at Ave who asked our social science teacher. "Good question," our psychology teacher said. "They think that self-harm is the way to escape their suffering." I bit my lower lip as I continue taking notes. My eyes settled on our textbook. Risk Factors of Depression.

“Do you usually sleep this late?” He grunted. “Like I said, damn tablets give me insomnia. So lately, yes.” I nodded. “Has Doc said how long it'll be for the side effects to wear off?” “Few weeks. Like normal.” I knew it was a touchy subject for Dad. As much as he hated the fact he was living without Mom, he hated appearing weak. To him, depression was a sign of weakness. It was not. Depression was a sign of strength – because it meant no matter how weak your mind might be to you, your heart is still strong enough to feel.

I had the table nailed to the floor. “No. This is payback for all the evil you’ve committed. I’d burn you myself, but I don’t have time to spare on you. Have fun screaming your lungs out. And just so you know, depression doesn’t necessarily mean suicidal thoughts all the time. I sure as fuck never wanted to kill myself except for the one time I took the bullet that was meant for you. Maybe you should have invested in this property much better. You wouldn’t have ended up here. Who got misled by pussy now?”
