Share Your Story

Our stories are written by and for people touched by the realities of mental health challenges.

We aren’t looking for perfect prose or happy endings. Diagnosed or not, we are all works-in-progress and your voice matters.

If you have a passion to create nuanced sociocultural conversations that aim to destigmatise mental health through authentic first-person stories — we welcome you!

Our writing guidelines:

  1. Any mental health topic is welcome, for example:
    • What mental health means to you, reflections on your journey thus far
    • How to get help, experiences with medication, therapy etc
    • Self-care, practical tips on maintaining mental wellbeing
    • Employment, finances
    • Relationships with family, friends, classmates, colleagues
    • Anything else that reflects your journey with mental health
  2. Please provide a title + a 50-word bio (if you’re using a pseudonym, let us know!)
  3. Proofread and keep your article to a maximum word count of 800 words.  
  4. You must own the copyright of the article/images you submit, or have express written permission for their use.

In keeping with the spirit of support and understanding, we kindly ask that any content/comment be kept educational, factual, free of biased wording.

This is not a space for rants. We would like our content to remain authentic but also responsible.

As this is a volunteer-run initiative, we won’t be able to provide monetary compensation for your articles at this time. However, full credit and copyright belong to you for your material. We will also work alongside you and provide editorial support for your article. 

Please note that by submitting your story, you agree to have your work shared publicly and on our social media platforms.

The Tapestry Project SG reserves the right to reject, review, edit and publish submitted articles accordingly for accuracy and legality.

If you’re keen to share your lived experience, please submit your story here or email us at community(at)thetapestryproject.sg

Thank you for being part of our Tapestry narrative! We hope to hear from you soon!
