I was so scared to give up depression, fearing that somehow the worst part of me was actually all of me.

That’s the thing about depression: A human being can survive almost anything, as long as she sees the end in sight. But depression is so insidious, and it compounds daily, that it’s impossible to ever see the end. The fog is like a cage without a key.

When Franz Kafka said, "I am not well, I could have built the pyramids with the effort it takes me to cling onto life and reason."
When Frida Kahlo said, "I hope the exit is joyful and I hope never to return."
When Elizabeth Wurtzel said, "I want to explain how exhausted I am. Even in my dreams. How I wake up tired. How I'm being drowned by some kind of black wave."
And when Jaun Elia said, "Har haal mein hasne ka hunar paas tha jinke, woh rone lage hai, toh koi baat toh hogi."

None of us are getting better at loving: we are getting more scared of it. We were not given good skills to begin with, and the choices we make have tended only to reinforce our sense that it is hopeless and useless.
Elizabeth Wurtzel, in “Bitch: In Praise of Difficult Women”, as quoted by bell hooks in All About Love: New Visions
