― Leah Raeder, Unteachable

“The first time is always the hardest...getting your heartbroken. The first time–it's always coming from outer space. You never see it coming, but it will be easier next time.”
― May Vanderbilt, Consider Lily

“Avoidance therapy does not work. One major reason for that is because Avoidance Therapy (diversion, think yourself happy, positive affirmations) is predicated on the validity of 'Failure of Will.' Depression is not a choice.”
― Northern Adams, Mickey and the Gargoyle

“Depression is a type of underlying mindset that develops from within, above and beyond even our consciousness.  It is our mental and emotional weather—our “inner climate."  I wake up some mornings and it is just “cloudy."  Not cloudy like having a hazy mind.  I mean cloudy as in dreary and darker than normal. ”
