I'm not sure how to do a video but yeah maybe I could recite some of my poetry. Don't worry about not being able to use it, I just thought I'd offer in case it helped. I'll think about a video, I'm sure my brother could show me how to do one.
I'm 18 year old lesbian who has been self harming in a variety of fashions since the age of 8... I have photos and would be willing to be interviews and share anything I can.
It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the time; you may even fool some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time - Abraham Lincoln
Life is a tragedy for those who feel and comedy for those who think - La Bruyere
If you cannot be the poet, be the poem - David Carradine
Yes, artwork and photos are still freaking awesome. If anyone *Can* I need one pic representing ED, one representing child abuse, and one representing head banging and bruising. (Again, please do NOT cause injuries to make a photo). Other than that any artwork is accepted. Also, it seems like lots of people have been sending b&w photos as well as art. It would be nice to have some more color if possible.
Yes confused, I would love more interviews and things!
Also, someone just did a video in a way that was... very clever. She spoke candidly about herself, but instead of being in front of the camera she put a doll in her place. If anyone would be willing to do something like that (with a picture, doll/teddy, etc) that would also be appreciated, and no one would see your face. Thanks to everyone for participating.
Also, if anyone has any suggestions for songs that could be used I'd appreciate it. (More focus on softer songs because I'm having songs go on in the background of my narrations). Thanks again. :)

Farewell the Ashtray Girl

I know it's a bit late, but I don't mind. I'm 24 female, mixed race
Previously unicorn-tears
In a burst of light that blinded every angel
As if the sky had blown the heavens into stars
You felt the gravity of tempered grace,
falling into empty space
With no-one there to catch you in their arms

Silence can be golden but gold can sometimes suffocate
Like that girl in that James Bond film, too late to respirate
Tragedy can be plain to see with lights and sirens
But sometimes it ain't quite so clear, Domestic Silence

Maybe 'In the arms of the angels' for a song-- it's very soft?
I'm 24, white and from the UK and have been self harming for 11 years and willing to help in any way I can, but not very creative!

“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. but the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. i'll always be with you.”
I'm a white 19 year old girl from the us, so you probably have a lot of participants similar to me, but I'm willing to help if you want. I self harmed from age 12 to 17.
Giving up doesn't always mean you're weak.
Sometimes it just means you're strong enough to let go.
If your still in need I would be happy to help:]. 19/m/white/US studying psychology and music in a university in Chicago
May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true,
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young
Feel free to message me if you ever need ANYTHING
