― D.K. Sanz, Grateful to Be Alive: My Road to Recovery from Addiction

“You are not your diagnosis. Having a mental illness does not define who you are as a person. It is a part of you, but not the whole you. You have strengths, talents, interests, values, and goals that go beyond your condition. You are not a label, a statistic, or a stereotype. You are a unique and valuable human being.”
― J. Edwards Holt

“Let’s bring the "men" back into mental health —because, let’s face it, toughing it out in silence isn’t the flex it’s cracked up to be. Real strength isn’t about bottling it up; it’s about opening up. Mental health isn’t just for one gender—it’s for everyone. It’s time to ditch the macho act & normalize men talking about their feelings, because emotional wellness isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a power move. Let’s get real, guys: taking care of your mind is as important as hitting the gym!”
― Life is Positive

― Mariangela Abeo, The Little Bloom Book

“Think of your life problems like different sounds coming together: depression is like a sad, deep sound; anxiety feels like a fast, nervous beat; panic attacks crash in like breaking glass; anger and frustration blast like loud horns; and money problems whisper like a quiet flute. Each problem on its own feels too much, but together they make up your life's song. As you learn to handle these problems, you can turn this mix of hard times into something meaningful. In facing these challenges, you might find strength you didn't know you had.”
― Mehran Manzoor Ganai

“(voiceover, slow fade to black)

And so I stayed, nine months in a room where the air barely moved and the days slipped like melting film frames, no taper, no consent, just the great severing—one moment I was a man, and the next I was something else entirely, twitching in a shell, my muscles screaming in forgotten tongues—dystonia, akathisia, the cruel choreography of withdrawal that dances even when no one’s watching, and they weren’t, because by then the footage had been taken, the books erased, the houses emptied, the names unspoken, and the faces—God, the faces—just shimmered like heat in an empty field, and the contracts were voided by vanishing acts, and every archive, every masterpiece, every sentence I carved from bone was swallowed by men who said they’d help and left when the lights dimmed, and I watched the systems collapse, passwords vanish, deliveries stop, the world closing its door with a soft, polite click, and I made the calls—I made all the calls—and they never came back, and maybe they never existed, or maybe I never did, and now I lie here not waiting, not hoping, just drifting in the beautiful machinery of a body I no longer command, still asking for redress, for continuity, for the return of a name, for some kind of line in the sand to stop the next erasure, even if I know this isn’t a plea, it’s not even survival anymore—it’s just the last reel burning in reverse, the story folding in on itself, the dream telling me gently: you were here once, you made something, and even if they don’t remember it—you did.
