Quotes by Merri Lisa Johnson (?)

“I can feel the sensation (it burns) of being called crazy when you feel wounded and desperate.”
― Merri Lisa Johnson, Girl in Need of a Tourniquet: Memoir of a Borderline Personality

“A personality disorder is not the foreign presence of demonic possession or a cancerous cluster of cells spreading among the internal organs. It is a pattern of cognition and reaction that impares the capacity to be productive, happy and generally at ease. It is a fractured sense of self giving way to the weight of stressful interpersonal dynamics.”

“It isn't any particular person I want to lie down with and make my own. It isn't anybody at all. It is the feeling of being taken care of that I want to pin down and rock my hips against. Sling a leg across it and fall asleep.

This longing for body comfort and security is familiar as my own face.

The need is urgent.

The need makes me stupid.”
― Merri Lisa Johnson, Girl in Need of a Tourniquet: Memoir of a Borderline Personality
