This is new.
The Rules are:
1. When you feel like you want to cut, take a marker, pen, or sharpies and draw a butterfly on your arm or hand.
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 dont 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.
8.) If you do not cut by the time the butterfly wears off draw a heart on your other wrist showing you've conquered one more day. :)
I think this is great. I wish I would have had a way to try to conquer my struggle instead "just stop" because anyone who has ever had an addiction knows its not that easy.
I still struggle with anorexia and self mutilation.
So I'm joining in this. One for support for those who still on a regular basis cut, and two, for the stronger person I've become.
