Elizabeth Wurtzel Quotes About Sadness

• Eso es lo que quiero dejar claro sobre la depresión: No tiene nada que ver con la vida. En el curso de la vida, hay tristeza y dolor y pena, todo lo cual, en su momento y temporada adecuados, es normal; desagradable, pero normal. La depresión es una zona completamente diferente porque implica una ausencia total: ausencia de afecto, ausencia de sentimiento, ausencia de respuesta, ausencia de interés. El dolor que se siente durante una depresión clínica grave es un intento de la naturaleza (después de todo, la naturaleza aborrece el vacío) de llenar el espacio vacío.

• It is so hard to learn to put sadness in perspective so hard to understand that it is a feeling that comes in degrees, it can be a candle burning gently and harmlessly in your home, or it can be a full-fledged forest fire that destroy almost everything and is controlled by almost nothing. It can also be so much in-between

  Depression, Home, Sadness

• The measure of our mindfulness, the touchstone for sanity in this society, is our level of productivity, our attention to responsibility, our ability to plain and simple hold down a job. If you're still at the point when you're even just barely going through the motions--showing up at work, paying the bills--you are still okay or okay enough. A desire not to acknowledge sadness in ourselves or those close to us--better known these days as denial, is such a strong urge that plenty of people prefer to think that until you are actually flying out of a window, you don't have a problem.
