Lately, my depression and anxiety have not made life easy for me. Dealing with any mental health issues is a constant roller coaster- sometimes you’re up, sometimes you’re down. And, since May is Mental Health Awareness Month, I wanted to share with you 10 inspiring mental health quotes.
1. “Just because no one else can heal or do your inner work for you doesn’t mean you can, should, or need to do it alone.” — Lisa Olivera
2. “Take a deep breath to remember you are the child who lived through survival mode and the empowered adult who chose their healing.” — Dr. Nicole LePera
3. “The best thing you could do is master the chaos in you. You are not thrown into the fire, you are the fire.” — Mama Indigo
4. “If there is no struggle, there is no progress.” — Fredrick Douglass
5. “I understand your pain. Trust me, I do. I’ve seen people go from the darkest moments in their lives to living a happy, fulfilling life. You can do it too. I believe in you. You are not a burden. You will NEVER BE a burden.” — Sophie Turner
6. “I cannot stand the words ‘Get over it’. All of us are under such pressure to put our problems in the past tense. Slow down. Don’t allow others to hurry your healing. It is a process, one that may take years, occasionally, even a lifetime – and that’s OK.” — Beau Taplin
7. “My dark days made me strong. Or maybe I already was strong, and they made me prove it. — Emery Lord
8. “There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in” ― Leonard Cohen
9. “Sometimes self care is exercise and eating right. Sometimes it’s spending time with loved ones or taking a nap. And sometimes it’s watching an entire season of TV in one weekend while you lounge around in your pajamas. Whatever soothes your soul.” — Nanea Hoffman
10. “Nothing can dim the light that shines from within.” – Maya Angelou
