"When you're depressed, there's no calendar.
There are no dates, there's no day, there's no night,
there's no seconds, there's no minutes,
there's nothing.
You're just existing in this cold, murky, ever-heavy atmosphere, like they put you inside a vial of mercury."

- Rod Steiger, On the Edge of Darkness

"I was much further out than you thought and not waving but drowning."
- Stevie Smith

"I have secluded myself from society; and yet I never meant any such thing.
I have made a captive of myself and put me into a dungeon, and now I cannot find the key to let myself out."
- Nathaniel Hawthorne

I tell people it's like being dead.
It feels like being a ghost, maybe.
You float through your days feeling insubstantial, cut off from warmth, light and all feeling.
Sometimes it feels like you're in a coffin buried alive.
You're screaming inside your head, but no one can hear you.

Crazy is easy.
All you have to do is let go.
The challenge is hanging on.
Life is hanging on.

- Crazy Tracy

“You don’t know about betrayal until your own mind lets you down”

-Zelda Fitzgerald.

I know what it’s like to want to die.
How it hurts to smile.
How you try to fit in but you can’t.
How you hurt yourself on the outside to try to kill the thing on the inside.

- Girl Interrupted

There’s no point in being nuts if you can’t have a little fun.

- John (A Beautiful Mind)
