The Sticky Fairy | Stephanie Seege

I'm the (hand)writer of joyful, funny mental health-related sticky notes.

In 2019 I found myself in a rut. My health conditions spiralled out of control, I suffered from insomnia and I had suicidal thoughts. A trauma diagnosis finally forced me to stop and I spent the next four years digging my way out of a dark hole. On that journey, I wrote myself hundreds of notes to keep my head straight. One day I was leaving for a walk, and it occurred to me that someone else might need to hear something encouraging. I took a few notes with me and left them on lamp posts and benches in a park nearby. Ten months later I started making videos and posted a few on TikTok. They went viral and I now have 20M+ views. 

I'm opening a mental health and joy-related exhibition inside London Bridge train station with 400 handwritten post it-notes to delight millions of travellers and to hopefully prevent future suicides on the tracks. 

I'm so happy you're here.
