the butterfly project is a project for self harmers who feel like they’re ready to stop and need the motivation or support to make it.

these are the rules:

1. when you feel like you need to cut, take a marker, pen or sharpie and draw a butterfly on your arm or hand

2. name the butterfly after a loved one, or someone that really wants you to get better

3. you must let the butterfly fade naturally, NO scrubbing off

4. if you cut before the butterfly is gone, you killed it. if you don’t cut, it lives

5. if you have more than one butterfly, cutting kills all of them

6. another person may draw them on you. these butterflies are extra special, take good care of them

7. even if you don’t cut, feel free to draw a butterfly anyways, to show your support. name it after someone you know cuts or is struggling , and let them know, it may help
