Mental Health Quotes Quotes

“Embracing Your Greatness is about loving yourself and your life now with no preconditions, no ifs, snfd or buts. I's about not waiting for things to change before you can be hapy with yourself and your life!”

“The tight ball of muck inside me—I opened it. I opened the shame, and it crumbled next to yours. This connection—the one I didn’t think we were going to have—let some of my muck go. And when it left my body, it evaporated into nothing. It had been living in me, but as soon as it was exposed, it disappeared.”

“Thinking is a defense mechanism. Not all the time, of course, but when in situations where strong emotions are involved, throwing yourself into your head is a way to keep yourself out of your feelings and out of your body. Your feelings need to pass through your body, you need to feel them run through your body in order to let go of anything. But that's an excruciating experience and we keep on trying to protect ourselves from it by running into our heads, being analytical, being logical, and doing everything to stay in our brains. This has been my own number one defense mechanism, the wall that I know I need to tear down a little more each day.”

“What is my life worth, my time worth, my well-being worth? What will I give it up for, at what price? Truly, what good is it to gain everything, whether money and possessions, knowledge and power, fame and influence, likes and followers, or anything the outside world has to offer you? Is it not temporal? Is it worth losing your mind and your well-being?”

“Once a toxic thought pattern has been recognized, applying the Word of God comes next. Looking at the thoughts that batter your brain through the eyes of Scripture will lead to hope in a way that therapy alone is found wanting.”

“I have never seen battles quite as terrifyingly beautiful as the ones I fight when my mind splinters and races, to swallow me into my own madness, again.”

“You must watch and observe your friends and family around you. Offer love and support to those who may suffer from acute depression. Depression is one of the most common mental disorders affecting approximately 350 million people all over the world. No person can ever be immune to this mental problem. I have suffered from depression in my life. So, I know the signs pretty well. Approximately one in four women and one in ten men suffer from depression in their lifetime. We need to help and support those who may need it the most”

“You just try to get through the day. The small stuff—waiting on a bus, eating, having a simple conversation—is too much to bear, and you fight to make it through the next minute without screaming. You look around at people going about their day—smiling, laughing, having meaningless encounters and conversations as if living was effortless, and you curse yourself and your mind and you wonder if someday things will get easier, and you become terrified of what will happen if they don’t.”

“I wish I were … I wish I had … I wish this never happened … I wish I could be … I wish I had chosen to … I wish I could accept myself … I wish I wish I wish! All of us wish things about ourselves and others, and how our life paths could be different. This mindset distracts us from our discomfort, but also prevents us from becoming who we most wish to be.”

“don’t work yourself to the point of a mental breakdown. give priority to your mental health. you are only a few steps away from completely losing your balance and breaking your mind. take one step back every time you take two steps forward. breathe. be mindful. see through life as it transpires moment by moment. learn when to rest. sleep is important. eating healthily is important. everything you do for the sake of your sanity is important. being kind to your mind is the best self-care there is. if there’s anything that’s lovely about you, it is your mind.”

“Over-simplifying mental health and illness does a disservice to all. We all have the potential to fall apart, but it is the ability to put ourselves back together, that is the foundation of mental strength. Misinformation and ignorance around mental health leads to both generalization and stigmatization. Understanding, diagnosing, and treating mental health issues is immensely difficult and is deserving of respect.” Excerpt From: Sarah Voldeng. “The Art of an Enlightened Woman.” Apple Books.”

“Hatred is a knife. It cuts deeply into your abdomen at the Hara Point known as the Conception Vessel that holds the key to understanding your emotions. Hatred is a refusal to see the truth. Hatred is like a parasite swimming in your blood, holding your veins hostage to lies. Live with hatred and dive slowly into the hell realms of madness. Remove yourself from hatred and live in divine love known as empowerment.”

“Don't be a reflection of your depression, your dark, or your ugly. Reflect what you want. Your light, your beauty, & your strength. Aspire for greatness - reflect who you are; not which deficits you maintain. Showcase the hidden treasures.”
