Fernando Pessoa wrote in "The Book of Disquiet" of his own feelings of uneasiness and sense of discouragement. "I suffer from life and from other people. I cannot look at reality face to face. Even the sun discourages and depresses me. Only at night and all alone, withdrawn, forgotten, and lost, with no connection to anything useful or real - only then do I find myself comforted." --		suicide suffering depression-quotes discontentment suffering-quote suffering-quotes tedium suicidal-thoughts discouragement discontent	Kilroy J.

9bab412	"Don't be tossed away by your monkey mind. You say you want to do something--"I really want to be a writer"--then that little voice comes along, "but I might not make enough money as a writer." "Oh, okay, then I won't write." That's being tossed away. These little voices are constantly going to be nagging us. If you make a decision to do something, you do it. Don't be tossed away. But part of not being tossed away is understanding your mind, not believing it so much when it comes up with all these objections and then loads you with all these insecurities and reasons not to do something."		doubt discouragement	Natalie Goldberg
