In support of today, wear something orange, draw your butterflys and smile a bit wider.
(Please note may be triggering)
(In the case of drawing butterflys)
1. When you feel like you want to cut, take a marker, pen, or sharpies and draw a butterfly on where you usually cut/crave to cut.
2. Name the butterfly after a loved one, or someone that really wants you to get better.
3. You must let the butterfly fade naturally. NO scrubbing it off.
4. If you cut before the butterfly is gone, you’ve killed it. If you don't cut, it lives.
5. If you have more than one butterfly, cutting kills all of them.
6. Another person may draw them on you. These butterflies are extra special. Take good care of them.
7. Even if you don’t cut, feel free to draw a butterfly anyways, to show your support. If you do this, name it after someone you know that cuts or is suffering right now, and tell them. It could help.
So if you self harm try it, if you don't, help self injurers by drawing your support.
If you think you have no one to draw a butterfly of, then do one for me. Because I care.
(I drew two butterflys on myself today in support of others)
