Message:		After reading all the entries, I just wanted to add, that many of us have been in that dark place that you find yourself in right now. I am an incest survivor, and 25 years ago, I attempted suicide. Thank God I failed. For many years the past dictated my future. I allowed my pain, resentment, bitterness and hate to consume me, and consequently, missed out on what was important... I had survived for a reason. I learned that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. You may think that what you are going through will never end, and honestly, it doesn't end completely. Being a survivor is a life-long effort, and takes hard work. And success does not come without help from others who have been where you are now. As survivors, we must look beyond the surface into the depths of reality. Although that reality can be frightening and overwhelming at times, if we learn to express our feelings through poetry, art, and music, what was once obscure, can become clear. Sharing our stories can validate our pain, release our anxiety and affirm our transformation from victim to survivor. What once threatened our emotional well being, can work to free us from the past. But we have to be able to reach out to others and tell our story before that can happen. We are here if you find the courage to begin your healing.
