Quotes To Help Depression — I’ve struggled with depression for many years. The first time I remember feeling depressed was at the age of thirteen. I remember thinking – “I’m really, really, really sad” – different than the other times I felt the “normal” kind of sad that children feel, I guess. At that time, those feelings stayed with me for a while – maybe months? And I just remember feeling such a deep sense of sadness, feeling empty, hopeless, having a loss of interest in everything, wanting to isolate from family and friends. It was scary, and I wasn’t sure I would ever start to feel normal again. But thankfully, I did.

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve started to learn more about life, myself, my mental health, what triggers my lows, and what helps me get to a better, healthier, more hopeful place. I’ve learned more about my bad days. And I’ve learned that good days will always come.

This week hasn’t been my best week – mental health-wise. Today, as I woke up feeling more anxious (I’ve also struggled with anxiety since childhood) and down than usual, I was inspired to make today’s post a bit of a pick-me-up. I was in search of something I could share with you, something that could make your day a little bit brighter, something that has helped me get through these days, and that’s when I turned to quotes.

I’ve always loved quotes. A good quote – you know, the ones you read at that exact right moment in time; the ones that speak to your soul; the ones that seem said or written specifically for you. The ones that have you thinking, “how can this complete stranger know exactly what I’m feeling and understand me on this level?!” You know what I’m saying? Those types of quotes. It’s some powerful stuff.

Today, as I seek inspiration to help get me through the day, I hope these quotes will help uplift your spirit, bring you a sense of peace, inspire hope, and just remind you that good days lie ahead, as they have done for me. Have a good day – a do-the-best-you-can day! And happy quote reading!
