“Depression is slowly drowning, over years and years. Every now and then you’re able to come up for air, but you’re still being dragged down by a current that’s out to get you and you don’t know what you did to deserve it at all.”— Molly Burford, thoughtcatalog.com
“Stop making depression an aesthetic. Attaching a "cool factor" to psychological trauma & pain is dangerous because it perpetuates the issue & diminishes the experiences of those who are suffering. Let's have discussions about mental health issues without glorifying them.”— Ebonee Davis, twitter.com
