My God, I could raise a family of six children and hold down a full-time job with all the energy I expend on depression!

Feminism is a good venue for getting yourself across as much as for getting your point across.

homesickness is just a state of mind for me. i'm always missing someone or someplace or something, i'm always trying to get back to some imaginary somewhere. my life has been one long longing.

I am sick of the girl who cries 'wolf' all the time. Even though not one of those cries was ever a false alarm

The most likely person to kill you is your wife, but that probably won't happen. What probably will happen is a million little betrayals of varying degrees of pain, brought on by people you love, the only ones who really can hurt you.

The brief relief of seeing other people when I leave my room turns into a desperate need to be alone, and then being alone turns into a terrible fear that I will have no friends, I will be alone in this world and in my life. I will eventually be so crazy from this black wave, which seems to be taking over my head with increasing frequency, that one day I will just kill myself, not for any great, thoughtful existential reasons, but because I need immediate relief.

I need the thing that happens when your brain shuts off and your heart turns on.
