**Trigger warning** I need help. I just self harmed the worst I've ever done. I only stopped because my sister walked in the front door but I didn't want to stop. I cut and cut and told myself only a few more but was unable to control myself. Now I have to wait until they go to bed to clean and bandage up my wounds because my sister just randomly pops my door open.

Not sure if you've ever heard of this and it may or may not help, but it helped me a lot during some of my horrible self harm moments. It's called the butterfly project. You basically draw a butterfly and name it after someone you care about and if you harm yourself you essentially kill the butterfly, but if you don't harm yourself the butterfly lives. In some of those horrible times it'll remind you that you are loved and don't need to hurt yourself. If you would, could you draw a butterfly and name it after me, justabutterfly? I hope things work out better for you. I've dealt with self harm for years and it's now - almost four years later I'm stronger than ever. If I can get through this, then so can you. Good luck!

@justabutterfly Thanks I’ve drawn butterflies on myself before im actually thinking about getting some as a tattoo. Ill draw one on now but im not sure how much it will help.
