I have always been so secretive about my self-harm but, although this blog is anonymous, I cannot express how liberating it feels to publicly share my story, my journey, my artwork. Starting this blog is one of the best decisions I have ever made and the blog is a way of helping me come to terms with my own experiences and develop less destructive coping strategies. But, not only that. Seeing how many people have shown an interest in the blog has given me a massive confidence boost, which I really needed, so I really hope that the blog is proving to be a source of comfort for others as well as myself.
