Elizabeth Wurtzel Quotes

When things get unbearable, I wrap myself into a tight ball and shut my eyes. Every muscle in my body is tense. I open my eyes and I’m still where I was when I closed them to escape. Nothing’s changed Picture Quote #1

Depression is about as close as you get to somewhere between dead and alive, and it’s the worst Picture Quote #1

Sometimes, I get so consumed by depression that it is hard to believe that the whole world doesn’t stop and suffer with me Picture Quote #1

As soon as I was out in the street, I realized I didn’t want to be alone after all, I realized I didn’t want to be anything at all Picture Quote #1

I was so scared to give up depression, fearing that somehow the worst part of me was actually all of me Picture Quote #1
