Quote_tiny
Jessica added a quote:
"I compare myself with my former self, not with others. Not only that, I tend to compare my current self with the best I have been, which is when I have been midly manic. When I am my present "normal" self, I am far removed from when I have been my liveliest, most productive, most intense, most outgoing and effervescent. In sort, for myself, I am a hard act to follow."Kay Redfield Jamison

Jessica added a quote:
"Somehow, like so many people who get depressed, we felt our depressions were more complicated and existentially based than they actually were."Kay Redfield Jamison
Quote_tiny
Jessica added a quote:
"I was bitterly resentful, but somehow greatly relieved. And I respected him enormously for his clarity of thought, his obvious caring, and his unwillingness to equivocate in delivering bad news."Kay Redfield Jamison
