butterfly project

The butterfly project is a way to encourage yourself to not self harm. You draw a butterfly in permanent marker where you'd like to harm. If you self harm whilst the butterfly is still there then you've killed it. Also you could name the butterfly agter someone and if you harm before it's gone then you've killed that person. I use it and it works for me. I believe in you. Please don't hurt yourself.

butterfly project

The butterfly project is a technique used to deter self harm. You draw a butterfly where you'd self harm and name it after someone you love. If self harm whilst the butterfly is still there then you've killed that butterfly. I use it and it works for me but it may not for you. Good luck.

The Butterfly Project 

1. When you feel like you want to cut, take a marker, pen, or sharpies 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 it off.

4. If you cut before the butterfly is gone, you’ve killed it. If you dont 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. If you do this, name it after someone you know that cuts or is suffering right now, and tell them. It could help.
Have you heard of The Butterfly Project? I heard it helped (Friend) stop cutting. Maybe I should try it.

abandonware 

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.

Foot prisons 

Socks. Annoying, sweat-causing, non-barefoot enducing, everyday socks.
The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!
