Damaging Words ™

I learned that words hurt more than bruises.

You sometimes think you want to disappear, but all you really want is to be found.

[Damaging Words ™ @damagingwords]

The only thing more exhausting than having a mental illness is pretending like you don't.

[Damaging Words ™ @damagingwords]

You will feel better again.

[Damaging Words ™ @damagingwords]

You are strong.
You are beautiful.
You are loved.
You are special.
You are not weak.
You are not defective.
You are not weird.
You are not a lost cause.

[Damaging Words ™ @damagingwords]

I'm exhausted from trying to be stronger than I feel.

Just because you miss someone doesn't mean you need them back in your life. Missing is just a part of moving on.

You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness. Tears come from the heart and not from the brain. To have felt too much is to end in feeling nothing. People keep telling me that life goes on, but to me that's the saddest part.

Depression is such a cruel punishment.There are no fevers, no rashes, no blood tests to send people scurrying in concern, just the slow erosion of self, as insidious as cancer.And like cancer, it is essentially a solitary experience; a room in hell with only your name on the door

Behind my smile is a hurting heart, behind my laugh I’m falling apart. Look closely at me and you will see, the girl I am, it isn’t me.

[Damaging Words ™ @damagingwords]

Depression thrives when you have a lifetime of unforgiven hurts.

[Damaging Words ™ @damagingwords]

Sometimes I think depression arises when we ask ourselves far too many questions that can’t be answered.

[Damaging Words ™ @damagingwords]

Pain is emotional. Depression and fear are always in company with chronic hurting.

[Damaging Words ™ @damagingwords]

I’m heartbroken and sad. I’m hurt and depressed. All I want to do is cry, but I don’t want to let this ruin my life.

[Damaging Words ™ @damagingwords]

I’m only now just learning how to simile. It’s really not as easy as it sounds.

[Damaging Words ™ @damagingwords]

Depression has a way of sneaking up on me when I think I’m flying high. It clips my wing, but not both because I will not let it take over every single piece of me.

[Damaging Words ™ @damagingwords]

How did I go from being a happy, care-free, laughing six year-old to this?

[Damaging Words ™ @damagingwords]

They never told me that monsters don’t actually sleep under your bed; they live in your mind.

[Damaging Words ™ @damagingwords]

I keep things inside because that’s the safest place to hide.

[Damaging Words ™ @damagingwords]

Depression is almost like a reverse nightmare. Instead of waking up from a nightmare and feeling relieved, I woke up into a nightmare.

[Damaging Words ™ @damagingwords]

I am stronger because I had to be. I am smarter because I’ve made mistakes. I am happier because I’ve been sad. I am wiser now because I’ve learned.
