'I paint sunflowers on my self-harm scars'

Amelia Halls was diagnosed with anxiety and depression and has struggled with self-harming since she was 14 years old. The 19-year-old archaeology student says she now paints on her body as “a replacement for self-harming” and particularly likes to paint sunflowers:

"I love the colour of sunflowers, I love the yellow; they're so bright, but I also love the fact that they follow the sun, because the sun is bright and I associate the sun with feeling better and being happy and the sunflowers follow that."
