Scope and Contents

"Self harm is often seen as a physical manifestation of mental illness, it's a permanent effect, even if you're recovering. We're sick of the stigma around our scars, so we bundled all our grievances, confessions and raw emotions into a zine and tied it all together with some pretty drawings. The Hysterical Girls are here to encourage open conversation and embrace ugly truths"-- Author's Etsy site.
