More quotes by Elizabeth Wurtzel
Ritalin abuse is a big issue in the US.
Elizabeth Wurtzel
The voices in my head, which I used to think were just passing through, seem to have taken up residence.
Elizabeth Wurtzel
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.
Elizabeth Wurtzel
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!
Elizabeth Wurtzel
I thought depression was the part of my character that made me worthwhile. I thought so little of myself, felt that I had such scant offerings to give to the world, that the one thing that justified my existence at all was my agony.
Elizabeth Wurtzel
It seemed like this was one big Prozac nation, one big mess of malaise. Perhaps the next time half a million people gather for a protest march on the White House green it will not be for abortion rights or gay liberation, but because we're all so bummed out.
Elizabeth Wurtzel
No one who had never been depressed like me could imagine that the pain could get so bad that death became a star to hitch up to, a fantasy of peace someday which seemed better than any life with all this noise in my head.
Elizabeth Wurtzel
I wasn't just the madwoman in the attic--I was the attic itself. The past was all over me, all under me, all inside me.
Elizabeth Wurtzel
Banned! My eyes light up, I think I see stars. Anything that has been banned by anyone must be something I’d like.
Elizabeth Wurtzel
I sit there in my bed staring at the wall, feeling happy, enjoying the way the wall looks, how pink and how white it is. Pink and white, as far as I’m concerned, have never looked quite so pink and white before.
Elizabeth Wurtzel
Because trying to see all sides, such an instinct is particularly Jewish.
Elizabeth Wurtzel
They have no idea what a bottomless pit of misery I am.
Elizabeth Wurtzel
That is all I want in life: for this pain to seem purposeful.
Elizabeth Wurtzel
I start to think there really is no cure for depression, that happiness is an ongoing battle, and I wonder if it isn't one I'll have to fight for as long as I live. I wonder if it's worth it.
Elizabeth Wurtzel
Its the people you are close to, the ones who love you, the ones who have seen your heart, who have touched your soul - to them, it is obvious that something is wrong or missing. Your heart and soul are missing. They feel it. It hurts them. It kills them.
Elizabeth Wurtzel
How can you hide from what never goes away? --Heraclitus
Elizabeth Wurtzel
Just as our parents quieted us when we were noisy by putting us in front of the television set, maybe we're now learning to quiet our own adult noise with Prozac.
Elizabeth Wurtzel
Belief is a good thing in principle, but an annoying thing in human beings.
Elizabeth Wurtzel
Pick a man, any man. Every guy I fall for becomes Jesus Christ within the first twenty four hours.
Elizabeth Wurtzel
I am fortunate to have been well paid for an almost pathological honesty.
