Today June 30th is "Butterfly Effect". The purpose of this day to show the people that suffer from depression and/or self-injury are not alone.

Simply draw a blue butterfly on your wrist to show your support. Depression can chage a person and take over their life. Self-injury can be an

addictive escape from pain and once you start its alomst impossible to stop. People who suffer from depression and/or self-injury are often

judged. Other people think they want a attention when really all they want, all they need is a friend. If you suffer from either one of these

conditons feel free to talk to me I can offer my advice. If you know someone that suffers from either of these conditions don't pretend like it isn't

a big deal. It is! No one wants to feel alone. If YOU are battling depression or self-injury draw a butterfly on your wrist as a promise. A promise

to stop cutting/burning yourself. A promise to remember there's hope. Life goes on, if you believe it doesn't.


"The idea is simple. The self-harmer simply draws a butterfly on their place(s) of self-harm and, if the butterfly fades without them self-harming,
it means it has lived and flown away, giving them a sense of achievement. Whereas if they do self-harm with the butterfly there; they will have
to wash it off. If that does happen, they can start again by drawing a new one on."


It won't hurt to let someone know they aren't alone. It can kill them if they think they are.
