# About me
We aim to build a community that brings an understanding to mental illness and all those affected by it. We hope to encourage members to use their creativity to 'vent' rather than fall into hurtful practices. We accept all types of art, including literature. We not only offer challenges and contests to our members, but peer counseling and support for those in need. We strive to create a safe environment for anyone that uses art as a way to escape pain or illness of any kind.

Hi there!
I know that I may not be a member of this group at the moment, but I have gone through many of the same things you did. I have gone through the hard times, I am a "survivor" and I have lost someone close to me to Suicide. I fight depression to this day and I fight the urges to self-harm.
In light of Suicide Prevention Day this past week, I created a Photography contest.
The theme is HOPE.
You can check it out here: [link]
I wanted to leave this by saying thank you for your time - the members and Admins of this group.
And if you ever need anyone to talk to (yes, you), I am open.
I understand.

There are many support groups on DeviantART. You should perhaps search the groups to find one relevant to her problems?

Dear Group,
Creator/admins/contributors/viewers
Thank you. I'm going through a bit of a stormy time right now and the writing is my anchor. Being able to share and to write things that might help other people express themselves (I tell myself that, at least. It's sort of the point for me, in a lot of my stuff) holds my attention when I need to get out of the other places in my head. For reading, commenting, faving and feeling; thank you. I feel like a human being sometimes.
ps-
I'm posting this a few places, but it's NOT spam!

Thank you for having the courage to share. <3
Not only are you helping yourself find some peace - you're probably helping someone else to feel a little less alone.
Everything is better when we share.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this, but can you read my journal when/if you get the chance? It would mean a lot to me.
Thank you so much for being such a great group!
It would also help if you spread the word.
