As eating disorders can be considered a form of self harm (and often include more "common" acts of self harm as a result,) I think this goes here.

Who's wearing orange today?

Hopefully this'll go over better than the posts about February being ED Awareness Month. Seriously people, show a little support.

    You can do something simple, like wearing an orange ribbon, writing "LOVE" on your arms, or drawing an orange ribbon on your wrist with some marker. :)

    A butterfly for someone you know self harms, yourself, or someone who has committed suicide is also a way to show support.

    Love this! I just drew an orange butterfly on the inside of my wrist with the only orange I had--a highlighter. :)

    I'm happy I actually remembered about it today!

    This morning I drew an orange pair of angel wings over my old reminder scars on my wrist

    Good for you. :) I'm not at the point of having old scars without new ones, but on days like today I have more hope than ever.

    You can do it honey :-) Just keep that hope strong and you'll be fine

    Thanks. :) It seems like a load of crap when I did nothing but take pills and burn myself last night, but today's a new day right? I'm going to try my best.
