The only reason I've shared my story is to take that tiny baby step of breaking down the stigma attached to depression.
Coffee is already known to be a preventive factor against mild depression, Parkinson's disease, and colon and rectal cancers.
I think there's a danger, for me at least, in retreating and going inward and depression. I have to stay diligent against that tendency.
When I kept a diary, I realised that it was all moanings and depression, and I think that is quite common.
I hated school. Even to this day, when I see a school bus it's just depressing to me. The poor little kids.
You can either look at things in a brutal, truthful way that's depressing, or you can screw around and have fun.
I imagine there's a market for total depression. I grew up on George Jones and that really dark stuff.
Somehow they fail to see that for someone aggravated by depression, self-help will be useless, indeed, it is precisely the self that needs to be forgotten.
Watching TV is the most popular leisure activity in Britain. I find that very depressing.
You succeed and accomplish and accomplish; the problem is when you stop, you become depressed because you could never do enough.
Negative thoughts are the causes of all depression and all stress. Be positive; never infect your mind with negative thoughts.
The only thing that's a challenge for me is not working. I get depressed when I'm not in motion.
We want to conquer the world and have 1,000 likes, 1 million likes, but at the same time, we are depressed. We are lonely, but we have 10,000 followers. We are all bipolar.
Depression comes back over time in about 90 percent of people on antidepressants. Studies show that relapses are far less common when people are treated with psychotherapy.
I remember the '80s being about the Cold War and Reagan and the homeless problem and AIDS. To me, it was kind of a dark, depressing time.
I was very depressed after breaking off my engagement with Johnny ten years ago. I was embarrassingly dramatic at the time, but you have to remember I was only 19 years old.
I worship teachers. They can't be paid enough. It depresses me that society sees them as somehow expendable.
I think one of the reasons I've done so much period work is because I feel so depressed by how society chooses to represent women in contemporary work.
I'm depressed when I don't get to do music. Having to go back to doing something I don't like and am not passionate about would be a tough thing.
Any of the rewards or accolades or any of that are very nice and everything but the music is what saves me. And it did. I would write my way out of any kind of depressing period.
The idea of writing songs because you're depressed and you need to communicate it somehow, that isn't really true for me.
