"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.

( as of a little over a month ago... i'll take an orange and WHITE one! )

i wish there was a way to deal with this illness without having to constantly think about it.
