Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the Universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don't just give up.
Stephen Hawking
I’m not suffering from depression. I’m living with it. We’re passive aggressive, odd couple roommates.
I want to live in a clean, organized home and my depression wants to live in an actual dumpster. I want to cook a healthy meal but my depression has already ordered in. I want to get up early and face the day, but my depression always hits the snooze button.
But the thing is? We’re still together. And sometimes I can drag my depression off the couch and we clean the bathroom. Sometimes we bake cookies together and then eat them while we watch netflix. Sometimes I leave my depression at home and go out for a night with my friends.
The key part of living with depression is living. With it or despite it.

Studies show that most emotions last no longer than 90 seconds unless we attach stories to them. You have a feeling of being lonely—and this will pass through you quickly unless you make up a story about how you’re lonely because you’re unlovable and worthless and nobody will ever love you and you’re going to be alone forever. When you attach to the story, you suffer needlessly and the suffering can linger for years. But you don’t have to choose to suffer this way. Your soul can find peace, comfort, and stillness even in the most difficult times if you’re able to view your negative emotions from this witness position.

I have such a strong inner life that I’m never bored and only occasionally lonely. No matter what mayhem is happening around me, I know I can always turn inward.

para quem gosta de ver timelapses de malta a desenhar tanto como eu, fica aqui o vídeo com o processo desta ilustração. no vídeo não se percebe, mas posso dizer que eu estava em agonia a desenhar o cabelo (é o meu ponto fraco).
Late September rose you can't grow here,
Now wash away the sweet words from your mouth,
Darling days are bleeding into tears,
Give me solitude, I need something new.
Trust me, when I say to go,
Cus you lost me and I just wanted you to know,
That I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be so cold no,
O o there you go, my September rose.
people who doubt themselves too much end up engaging in excessive information processing which leads to procrastination and self-handicapping.
self-doubters are also more likely to suffer from depression and social anxiety. some soul-searching and self-analysis can be useful, but too much is a recipe for stagnation.

I looked into a void of love. And I fell down. There was nothing else there. No where, where I was no one.

na eventualidade de alguém ainda seguir o feed deste blog, diz que ali na sidebar tenho actualizado uma playlist semanal mensal com o que ando a ouvir.
If you are willing to look at another person's behavior toward you as a reflection of the state of their relationship with themselves rather than a statement about your value as a person, then you will, over a period of time cease to react at all.

Let us remember not to ask anything of someone who is drowning.
When a person is breaking, broken, they are so exhausted, so drained. Asking them to come to us and share their brokenness is asking them to do more when all they can do to stay alive is to tread water.
