Hello everyone,

I just wanted to say a massive big gigantic thank you!!!! …to those who have shared anonymous and non-anonymous submissions and to people who have expressed interest and help with the project.

To those who have made submissions, I understand that it can be extremely difficult to share such personal accounts of feelings and emotions. I have an enormous empathy with all shared stories and expressions and I hope that in the process of communicating these accounts of your situations that it has at least helped a little. You are not alone. I hope that we can help each other to gain momentum with methods of living more happily.

If you feel like you’d like to speak to someone in confidence or meet up to chat about what the zine/where your submission will be going/anything at all – please contact me at either of the following email addresses: designingoutsuicide@gmail.com or lisa.ohara@hotmail.co.uk
