The following is part of a project that changed my life and was a real turning point for me, i had struggled with depression for many yrs and it manifested it's self in many ways, paranoia, anxiety attacks, bulimia, self-harming, thoughts of sucide and many attempts, the first being at 14.
But i reached a point where i realised that i needed to express how i was feeling and not hold back, because i felt that i had nothing left to give at that point and i had nothing to lose, it couldn't get any worse and so i started to create these pieces and put it all onto paper, cutting, tearing and collaging my feelings together, rather than continuing to punish myself for things that weren't in my control.
It wasn't about trying to shock or upset people, it was about not suffering in silence, and expressing he thoughts and feelings that i lived with on a daily basis and no longer wanting to feel that way anymore...
