Quotes about depression

depression stars pain
There is a particular kind of pain, elation, loneliness, and terror involved in this kind of madness. When you're high it's tremendous.

Everything previously moving with the grain is now against-you are irritable, angry, frightened, uncontrollable....It will never end, for madness carves its own reality.
