Sometimes the people around you won’t understand your journey. They don’t need to, it’s not for them.

Most of us have far more courage than we ever dreamed we possessed.

You are so brave and quiet, I forget you are suffering.

It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.

Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of, but stigma and bias shame us all.

Don’t let your mind bully your body into believing it must carry the burden of its worries.

Tough times never last, but tough people do!

If you are broken, you do not have to stay broken.

The quickest way to end up feeling anger all the time is to repress it and fight against it.

This feeling will pass. The fear is real but the danger is not.

I sometimes feel like my head is a computer with too many windows open.

It’s okay to not be okay – it means that your mind is trying to heal itself.

True suffering is being trapped in your own head.

There is a point where courage becomes a symptom of mental illness.

It can be a good thing, too, to learn to sit in your own weirdness.

Hope, hope, hope. It has to be there. Rob the person of hope, and there won’t be any recovery.

Your illness does not define you. Your strength and courage do.

I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship.

I’m struggling just to get through the days. I think a lot of people are.
