“I have an obligation to help eliminate the stigma attached to mental illness. When I鈥檓 feeling despondent and someone asks in a sincere way how I am, I have a duty to tell the truth.

I must break the silence instead of treating my depression like a shameful character flaw.”

“My sadness is beautiful. It infuses everything I do. It is at the core of my identity and always has been, just as happiness is in some people. I refuse to be told that it's a flaw.

“Far too many doctors-many of them excellent physicians-commit suicide each year; one recent study concluded that, until quite recently, the United States lost annually the equivalent of a medium-sized medical school class from suicide alone. Most physician suicides are due to depression or manic-depressive illness, both of which are eminently treatable. Physicians, unfortunately, not only suffer from a higher rate of mood disorders than the general population, they also have a greater access to very effective means of suicide.”

“There's a quote from 'The Breakfast Club' that goes "We're all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it." I have it on a poster but I took a Sharpie to it and scratched out the word "hiding" because it reminds me that there's a certain pride and freedom that comes from wearing your unique bizarreness like a badge of honor.”
― Jenny Lawson - Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things

“The smile of the morning doesn't judge the day.”
― Oscar Auliq-Ice

“Many people suffer alone and in silence because they are scared or ashamed. They feel weak鈥r pitiful. How can a person be incapable of having joy? 鈥淲hy can鈥檛 I just have a good time? Why can鈥檛 I get on with it?鈥� And for those in the spotlight who live under the microscope of public scrutiny fear being discovered, ridiculed, and shunned should their illness be discovered.
