I need an inspirational saying/phrase?

Question

Ok well recently I have been going through a tough time. (depression, anxiety, eating disorder, hospitalization....) and basically I want a word/phrase/saying etc. that I can say to myself when I am feeling down. Do you have any good ideas? I want something that will hopefully calm me down in the situation hat I am in. Sort of like words to live by. It doesn't have o be anything that already exists. You can make it up. Whatever. I apprecitate all suggestions. Thank you very much.

Answer 1

My favorite saying is the motto that I had to learn to live by or I too was very unhappy.  I suffered from a lot of the same things that you did.  What I discovered through therapy was that my expectations of how things were supposed to go, where unrealistic.  My expectations of myself were unrealistic.  I taught myself to say the following sentence to myself when things are not going well.  It helps me.

Lower your expectations and you won't be disappointed.

Answer 2

I guess i kinda told this to my self when i was really depressed...

To the world, your just one person. But to one person, your the world.

It kinda felt, like...wait...i dont need to kill myself! :)

or the quote "what does it take to make right" if its to overwhelming to make right, then its not worth making it right...

idk what im saying, but maybe it helps?

Hopee you likee them <33

Pretending to be someone you're

not is a waste of the person you are

Falling for someone the first time is easy...

it's the second time around,

after you have fallen and trusted someone

to catch you and they didn't...

when it becomes difficult to let yourself fall again.

Laugh when you can,

apologize when you should,

and let go of what you can't change.

It's really nice when you can just think

about someone and smile

The truly painful goodbyes are the ones

that are never said, never explained

I hate that time before you go to sleep at night

because that's when all the thoughts you've been

trying to avoid start lingering in your mind

Fate exists,

but it can only take you so far

cause once you’re there,

it’s up to you to make it happen.

Love doesnt walk away, people do

No matter what someone tells you

there is a person out there that is meant

to wake up next to you every morning

Too often we don't realize what we have until it's gone

too often we're too stubborn to say "i'm sorry, i was wrong"

too often it seems we hurt the ones closets to our hearts

and we let the most foolish thing tear us apart

If you're not willing to risk it all

then you don't want it bad enough.

Faliure is divided into two classes;

those who thought and never did,

and those who did and never thought

People die everyday

and we only care

when we actually knew the person.

You dont even realize how much someone means to you

until you are with someone else

and you realize that its not what you want

and all you do want is

the one you don't have anymore

You know you really love someone

when you don't hate them for breaking your heart.

Just because you

left doesn't mean

i stopped loveing you.

Rule Number One of Love:

You can never be "just friends"

with the person you`re in love with.

The biggest mistake you can make

is to drift apart from someone,

who you once had the time of your life with.

The truth of the matter is, if

you have to stop & ask yourself, "is

it really worth it?", it probably isn't.

The weak can never forgive.

Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

Here is something that may help you, it may also make you feel better. Its sort of famous its a quote form Aaliyah the singer. "Some people come into our lives and go Quickly. Some people stay for awayand leave foot prints in our hearts and we are never the same." It makes me think twice about life and it makes me feel better too! I hope this helps.

Answer 5

Though you may be under a dark tree, always look for the light shining through the branches

Remember sadness is always temporary. This, too, shall pass.

Fall seven times, stand up eight.

Hope is grief’s best music.

A diamond with a flaw is better than a common stone that is perfect

No one is perfect..that’s why pencils have erasers

Hope this helps........good luck <3
