“أعدك أن أنام
غير أنى متعب
والمشقة فى قلبى لا فى الطريق
والعتم فى عينى
في سمعى
فى الأعوام التى توالت عاما بعد عام
ولم أر

أعدك أن أنام
أن أنتظر الصباح المقبل
وما يليه
لكنى مجبر علي الرحيل الآن،
لا عمل أو موعد أو نزهة أو أى
شىء من هذا القبيل
فأنا متعب وقد خدمت روحى ما استطعت”
― بسام حجار, مجرد تعب

“If you know someone who’s depressed, please resolve never to ask them why. Depression isn’t a straightforward response to a bad situation; depression just is, like the weather.

Try to understand the blackness, lethargy, hopelessness, and loneliness they’re going through. Be there for them when they come through the other side. It’s hard to be a friend to someone who’s depressed, but it is one of the kindest, noblest, and best things you will ever do.”
― Stephen Fry

“I waste at least an hour every day lying in bed. Then I waste time pacing. I waste time thinking. I waste time being quiet and not saying anything because I'm afraid I'll stutter.”
― Ned Vizzini, It's Kind of a Funny Story

“I can't eat and I can't sleep. I'm not doing well in terms of being a functional human, you know?”
