Self Injury Awareness Day.
As stated by my friend Sakura
"March 1st 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:
Plain Orange - Self Harm (Awareness) or if you Self Harm
Orange with 1 white - Trying to stop Self Harm
Orange and White - Recovered Self Harmer
White - You never Self Harmed but you understand
Yellow and Orange - Suicidal and Self Harm
Blue and Red - Depression/Mental Illness and Eating Disorders"
Share this information with as many people as you can. I'm late with it, but it's never too late is it?
I shall be wearing a white band. Perhaps I deserve the last one (Blue and Red), since often I am depressed, but I have never self harmed out of depression. I have in a sense harmed myself out of violent and blind rage though, since there was nothing to beat on except solid materials. In other news most of the bandages can come off now.
