International Self-injury Awareness Day is MARCH 1ST.
Wear orange, write “love” on your arms, or draw a butterfly or orange ribbon on your wrist to support those who have or still are struggling with self-harm.
Show you care and understand!
This day is not only to show support, love, care, and understanding to people who have or still are self-harming, but to educate people on what it is, and eliminate some of the stereotypes involved in self-harm.
This is my 2nd year promoting online & trying to raise awareness.
This year, thankfully, my platform is larger.
I’m not only a promoter. I’m a sufferer.
Show your support for your friends and loved ones.
Please share & reblog this post. Be there as a shoulder to cry on, as arms for a hug, as a friend ~ to listen.
There are many forms of self-mutilation besides cutting.

Thank you, Bev!
Normally, I don’t go around advertising that. But, this is a good time and it’s for a great cause.
I’m a little apprehensive about bringing attention to the scars tomorrow, but if it helps just one person – it will be worth it.

You are so right. This is an illness that most people know little about. It’s time to get it out in the open. Focus on that one person and you’ll be fine. Blessings to you.
