Have you thought of documenting it as a piece of art. Not just visual but as a package. It could be documentary but it doesn't need to be.

Interesting idea. I thought of documenting my journey in the sense of writing about what I am going through, taking video snippets whenever I feel like it with the idea of : 1. Helping myself first, 2. Being able to have something to look back years from now to empower me and humble me 3. To help whoever might feel inspired by my story.
Feel free to develop your idea more and offer me suggestions, I am always open to different perspectives
One of the things that I did myself is make a book, but a book as a piece of art both as a whole and what it contained. I used deckle edged art quality paper which I hand stitched into a binding and then made a cover that was quite tactile rather than 3D with motifs on it that you could feel but not see very well. That way it gave it a "hidden depth". The inside of the hard cover I just gave a professional finish to. The finished thing looked and felt otherworldly like you were picking up something esoteric and there was hidden meaning in it, which I suppose there was as it was an insight and documentary of what I was thinking. It documented a time and feeling for me.
You can get all you need for the binding part cheap on sites like Temu. The mesh for wrapping the pages and sewing to I used rolls of builders dry wall repair tape (that was such a find).
If it helps here is my introductory post on Hive. A few bits of art on Hive too

Everything I do is catharsis really. The quote by Picasso in the intro is as near as perfect for me.
