I was a victim of self harm a long time ago. I got over it without the butterfly project but I wish I had known about it before. It would've made everything a lot easier.
I resently got a friend of mine to take up the project and she currently has several butterflies on her arms and legs in sharpie. I have a few too because she felt 'silly' doing it by herself. I hope she gets better like I did. This project is wonderful.
I started this in my school last week, my best friend was self harming herself because of troubles at home, i drew a butterfly on my wrist and named it after her...it caught on to almost everyone like wildfire and now i have drawn almost 50 butterfly's on my friends arms and they to there friends...whoever came up with this i thank you so much because its changing so many lives including many of my loved ones<3(:
I don't cut anymore. I take my feelings out on drawing and drawing butterflies all over my arm. My arm is covered in butterflies right now, but at least they aren't permanent... <3
A few days ago two girls went around the school getting people to support this project and alot of them put butterflies on their arm to either stop self harm or for support. They didn't know about the part of naming them so I told them that and I tried my best to help out.
I've struggled with emotions, seeing the pain I cause my friends because I thought I was weak. I check this video out and it helped me see I am stronger then what I thought. I am trying to spread the word to my friends who also self-harm. My friends do care about me, even though there are times I don't think it, and I also care about them. I do my hardest to show it. I am thankful for this video and the power of facebook...(: be strong everyone...self-harm isn't the answer neither is suicide
i'm not allowed to draw on my skin, i get slapped if i do. should i still do it anyways? i wear short sleeves and no one notices, but they always notice marker or pen.
My Girlfriend just started doing this, I am the proudest boy in the world right now, as she named her first one after me. I love her so much and seeing her suffer through those times has been painful, but now I feel as if she's on the mend and that she can get through this. Incase she see's this I love you Aims, You are the strongest girl I have ever met! <3
you know i really thought this was a crappy idea but i tried it anyway and everytime i struggle with cutting i look down and it reminds me that there ARE people who care about me and that im not alone, and that everytime i cut im not just hurting myself im hurting them as well, so i must admit i think this idea is actually pretty cool, THANKS ALOT!
my self-injury friends on facebook, who is all like a big family. have all joined this a year ago. wen we need/needed to have our butterflies we would take pictures of them and tag each other in the pictures so that everyone knows we are recovering. anyone is welcomed to join my facebook Kassi Lynn
I just took a shower and had a knife ready to slit my wrist the knife was too dull..luckily before i grabbed another knife i got back on the computer and i found this..this saved my life tonight and i drew my 1st butterfly and named it after my daughter. i really hope this gets out to more people i posted it on my FB wall. thank you so much.
I am a recovered Self Harmer. :) Last time I s/h was May 2010. I'm here if anyone needs someone to talk to. I know how hard it is to stop and I know why I used to do it. I'm here to listen and offer the advice of what helped me. I owe it all to Jesus Christ Without HIM I never would've been able to do it.:)
i got a tattoo of two music clefs forming a heart on my left wrist, where most of my cutting took place. it represents how much music saved me, and that it freed me from the addiction. on august 24th, i'll be 8 months clean. this is such a beautiful project.
Hm, that is very interesting to me. I have never heard of the movement..[the name idea, yes, but nothing to do with a butterfly.] I have a history with self-injury. When I was 16, I got my first tattoo... A little butterfly on my right wrist (the arm without scars,) as a symbol of freedom and recovery... something that was fragile and so delicate in a vulnerable way, but something that was also independent and strong... I like it! :)
The song is Save Us by Cartel :)
