A Bright Red Scream

Final Excerpts:

"we are healed of suffering only by experiencing it in the full."

"pain and blood were proof that i was alive and hurting."

"the symptom has a purpose as a form of communication."

"to bring them back to reality by looking aroundthe room, putting their feet on the floor, becoming aware of there body andhow they feel physically."

"everyhintg is not hte end of the world anymore."

"no matter how much physical pain she endured , it was a thousand times beetter than the emotional pain."

""it helps me to know that god doesnt want me to hurt myself, that god is in my body- that if i fuck up i can go on. the solution is not to punish myself; it is to pray, let go, make amends."

"i know that a life is possible where every sharp object you pass does not whisper seductively to you, where you want to get out of bed in the morning, where you can stop wearing long sleeves all summer and lying to people you love."

"seeing each scar was like a marking of what i went through at that time. i could point tot each one and rememebr what happened."

"i was told something very important last night - the truth will set you free."
