I learned about this last week and wanted to share it. I'm sure some of you already know about this, but I didn't, so I figured it couldn't hurt to share with those of you who might not know what it is. It's called the Buttefly Project, and it's to help you stop cutting. You're supposed to draw a butterfly on the place(s) that you cut, with sharpie or something, and if you want you can name it after somebody you love. Then whenever you get the urge to cut, you will see the butterfly and be reminded not to cut. You have to let the butterfly fade on it's own. But if you cut, then you kill it, and have to wash it off, but you can always try again.
This is helping me and I hope it will help some of y'all too.

Mmm...seeing as those who i love in my life tend to be the ones who hurt me the most i think seeing their names temporarily tattooed on my body might trigger me even more to be honest. I think this is a really sweet idea though - i just wish it would work for me and well done peace.love.starving. Four weeks is super

Well you don't need to name it after anyone. If you want to try this the butterfly can just be a reminder to be strong and not cut
