Recently, I shared a list of my favorite spring quotes. As May comes to a close, so does National Mental Health Awareness Month. So, I thought I’d share 10 of my favorite quotes that deal with mental health issues.
1. “‘Positive vibes only’ isn’t a thing. Humans have a wide range of emotions and that’s OK.” — Molly Bahr, LMHC
2. “I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship.” — Amy March, from Little Women
3. “I would say what others have said: It gets better. One day, you’ll find your tribe. You just have to trust that people are out there waiting to love you and celebrate you for who you are. In the meantime, the reality is you might have to be your own tribe. You might have to be your own best friend. That’s not something they’re going to teach you in school. So start the work of loving yourself. — Wentworth Miller
4. “The advice I’d give to somebody that’s silently struggling is, you don’t have to live that way. You don’t have to struggle in silence. You can be un-silent. You can live well with a mental health condition, as long as you open up to somebody about it, because it’s really important you share your experience with people so that you can get the help that you need.” — Demi Lovato
5. “If you want to conquer the anxiety of life, live in the moment, live in the breath.” — Amit Ray
6. “Hope is a powerful thing. Some say it’s a different breed of magic altogether.” – Stephanie Garber
7. “The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.” — Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
8. “One small crack does not mean that you are broken, it means that you were put to the test and you didn’t fall apart.” — Linda Poindexter
9. “Don’t believe everything you think.” — Unknown
10. “There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t.” — John Green
