Ok so I have a little something to add after seeing Meggygurl's post what can I say I thought that she put it perfectly and I'm not going to change a thing.
Today is Self-Injury Awareness Day.
I'm reposting the little thing I put up the other day.
Self Injury Awareness Day - March 1st
1st March is Self Injury Awareness Day.
SIAD is a global awareness day, and yet it is not supported by any nations' governments, because it is a grass-roots idea. Somehow, in the mists of time, the date was set as the 1st of March, and organisations around the world make extra efforts to raise awareness ready for SIAD.
The colour for some reason is orange. Some people wear an orange ribbon, but in the past SIAD bracelets have been worn:
- Orange beads if you self harm;
- Orange and white if you used to;
- White if you have never self harmed but understand.
If you agree that people should be made aware of this issue and this day, re-post this in your journal.
Self-injurying isn't limited to cutting. It includes hitting, burning, pulling out hair, clawing, bitting, pretty much anything you can do physically to harm yourself. So it's not always some gothic person in all black with a razor blade to their wrist.
