This is just what I did for SI awareness day. If nothing more, than it’s a reminder to myself.

March 1st, Self Injury Awareness
Tomorrow is self injury awareness day. Will you wear orange to show your support? If you own nothing orange, you can also draw an orange butterfly or orange heart on your wrist … or write the words “keep fighting.” If people ask, tell them why. This is something that doesn’t just affect teenage girls. It’s an addiction that grabs hold of you in a time of desperation and doesn’t let go. I recently responded to a group post of a 50 year woman that has struggled with this for the last 20 years. SI is not a fad. It is not for attention. It is an addiction and a harsh method of coping, and it comes at a price. Please help show your support tomorrow for myself and the millions of others who continue to hide in silence and suffering.
One moment at a time.
