Depression and self harm quotes (not mine)

"Why didn't you tell us you were depressed?"

I did. I told you about how I started hiding in my room. I told you when the 'cat' started scratching me more than usual. I told you when I wasn't hungry and started pinning the clothes you gave me. I told you when I stopped doing my schoolwork and cried when you called me lazy. I told you how I locked my bedroom doors at night. I told you how they noticed alcohol missing and how I started waking up with headaches. I told you when I'd spend an hour in the shower and come out with puffy eyes.

I did tell you. The thing about depression is that it's quiet. It isn't loud and the reason you didn't hear it was because you weren't really listening
